MAccAREEs SUE a BANK.
Action for 100000 Brought at Port
Huron Mich

Port Huron, Mich. Jan. 25-Suit was
begun by the supreme tent of the
knights of the Maccabees against the
Port Huron Savings Bank yesterday to
recover Judgment in the sum of 1000.
The actual amount which the plaintiffs
seek to recover is about $4,000. This ac-
ton is the result of the recent troubles
precipitated upon the supreme tent by
sC. d. Thompson, the self-confessed de-
faulter finance keeper of the order.
Thompson was also teller of the Port
Huron Savings Bank. This bank was
not the regular depository of the SUI
preme tent. but 1t is alleged that
Thompson sent to sub-depositories
crafts on the bank instead of drafts
against the Commercial bank, which is
the Maccabee depository here. Thomp-
son then replaced the Port Huron Saw
ings Bank drafts with Maccabee drafts.
so it is said without the banks knowl-
edge. The declaration alleges that $780,
600 passed thru the banks hands in this
manner.
The recent payment OF $1,000 by the
Commercial Savings Bank. of Flint,
Mich, to the supreme tent is to be used
as a lever in the present suit.

Sioux City, Jan. 25.-The stocker trade
Was light and with Only limited supply
OF fresh cattle on the market there was
TO quotable change in prices with the
lttr end of the week. The dealers were
not very eager buyers and the few head
that changed hands were bought on or
ders or to fill out. The market for the
week opened with good active demand
for the strictly good stoeker cattle of
strong weights, but the common and in
ferior cattle on Monday were quoted
cine lower. Later in the week the mar
ket took another drop on these grades
and prices closed the week with every
thing except the good to choice stockers
and feeders and the very best yearling
steers selling l5G25 cents lower than last
weeks best time.
