TO REOPEN CASE.

Frank j. Currier, of Waupaca, was
in the city last week for the purpose of
looking over testimony in the suit IN
which that gentleman was interested In
some two years ago. Currier was tried
twice on the charge of perjury, the first
time the jury disagreed, and then the
case was brought to this county when
Currier was acquitted. 1t grew out of
a potato deal, in which Currier had
contracted to furnish a party with
certain number of bushels of potatoes,
and it was alleged he had failed to
comply with the conditions and also ad-
ded perjury to the breach of contract.
He spent a great many dollars in the
law suits that followed. aud finally be
alleges that he was locked up in a room
one day, and at the point of revolver
was made TO sign his property over to
another person. This property was a
farm. valued at considerable amount
of money. and this Currier intends, if
possible. 10 recover. In going over the
transcript of testimony offered at the
trial here he selected certain portions
which he intends to use in suit which
he is about to institute to recover mis-
farm. He was in pretty sore straits at
the conclusion of the trial here. He
had lain in jail FOR months, had lost his
farm and was in debt without any
means of paying except by manual
labor. and to cap the climax his wife
had left him and had gone to live with
one who was interested la his proseen-
ton. Currier says he is now possessed
Of little money and intends to push
his claims to the finish

DECIDES BANKRUPTCY CASE
Minnesota Court of Appeals Makes
Important Ruling IN Bank
Suit.

ST. PAUL, MINI. July 21.-The circuit
court Of appeals today filed a decision In
a ST. Louis bankruptcy case involving the
principle that all unexempt property which
a bankrupt has owned four months before
the filing Of q petition against him must
be distributed share and share alike among
his creditors.
The Fourth National bank Of st. Louis
held notes against the Siegel-Hillman Dry
Goods company OF that city, in the aggre-
gate sum Of sec. 900. Less than four months
before the latter was adjudged a bankrupt
1t had paid on these notes the sum of s14,-
600. Then the affairs Of the bankruptcy
company went into the hands OF the ref
cree. The trustee, s. L. Swarts, moved
that all the claims Of the bank be ex-
plunged unless 1t surrender the STAG
which had been paid on the notes It held
against the company. The referee granted
the motion and the bank appealed to the
federal district court, which directed the
referee to deny the motion. Mr.. swarts
thereupon appealed the case to the circuit
court Of appeals and had the judgment of
the lower court reversed.

NATIONAL BANKS
Consolidated Statement Shows Gains in
Each Separate Direction.
EXCESS OVER LAST YEAR MOST MARKED
Midsummer season of Trade staGna-
tion Finds the Local Financial In
stItutiOns Far in Advance of
Their Previous RECORD.

The statements Of the condition OF the
Omaha national banks as compared with
the condition OF last year shows in every
material branch Of banking there has been
distinct gains in each OF the institutions.
A reflex OF the general conditions Of busi-
ness In the community is shown In the
loans and discounts. this item increasing
In the aggregate more than S2,O00,O00 over
last year at the SAM time. In spite Of
the falling of in trade, which usually
takes place in the summer months the
loans and discounts have Increased more
than 500. 900 over the amount shown in
the April statement. which was taken at
the time merchants were moving their
spring stocks.
Even with the large increase in the
loans and discounts the available cash on
hands shows a slight Increase over last
year, while It shows a decrease over the
April statement.
The deposits for the present time show
a gain Of over 81, 900, 900 over the CORES
ponding month of last year, and an in
crease OF over $500. 900 over the April
statement. The total resources Of all of
the banks show an increase over last year
of more than $500, 900. but show a slight de-
crease over the April statement. There is
nothing unusual in this, as the spring
statements, as we'll as those Of the fall
months, usually show greater activity in
the money market, and therefore a larger
amount Of resources than those statements
issued in the summer and winter when
business is comparatively slack.
Following is the comparative statement
of the seven banks:

cUMINe ASSESSMENT slim
Taxable Property According 70 As
sessOr's Returns is In Snail
Ratio TO Population.

WEST POINT. Neb.. July 2I-(special.)
The vagaries Of taxation are aptly ex-
emplihed in the return Of the county clerk,
showing the totals Of the 1909 assessment
Of Cunning county, Just published: Railroad
property, approximately thirty seven miles,
Is assessed at i144 SIS; telegraph property,
$3.50; telephone property. S2.7 00.
According to the returns there are no
franchises in the county and only twenty
nve bicycles. whilst in a population Of 49,
900 persons there are only 35s watches aud
clocks, showing that only one person in
every fifty is h happy possessor Of one Of
these useful articles. Of the average value
OF $3.50. OF diamonds and jewelry in tho
county the assessors were only able to
and $50 worth.
Whilst Cunning county is no worse in
this, respect than many OF the neighboriug
counties, yet an examination OF the absurd
tiles Of these returns leads to the irfesist-
ibie conclusion that the revenue laws Of
this state are badly in need OF revision.
