CONFIDENCE UNSHAKEN.
With unshaken confidence Shoffner still
stayed with Connors and the two went 10
Chicago TO try To negotiate another race.
When Shoffners friends at Greensburg
learned OF the affair they tried 10 dissuade
him from having more to do with Con-
nors or the Club of which Connors was
president. Several of the men he met IN
Springfield claimed to be citizens in good
standing. and from all reports, some OF
them are. One man represented that ne
was a millionaire coal operator anG an
other pointed out the business blocks that
he owned. Shoffner believed them all ana
his confidence was apparently not shaken
until he sent telegram from Springfield,
Tuesday. saying he had learned that the
millionaire was a member OF the CITY
Council and was worthless.
The firm of Wickens K Osborn, of Green's
burg, were meplOyed as his counsel and
John Z. Osborn. of the firm. accompanied
Danna cher and Sheriff Davis. of Decatur
county, here TO have Dannacher Identified
Dannacher also had both members of the
firm of Tackett & Wilson with him. and
they Will accompany him TO Springfield 10
defend him. Deputy Sheriff Ryan met the
men here and last night took Dannacher on
TO Springfield. Osborn went along 10 repre-
sent ShOffner in the prosecution and VIII
also institute proceedings to recover the
money. 1t is said that Shoffner borrowed
$500 of the Third National Bank OF
Greensburg. representing that he intended
to buy goods. to add to 81 800 he already had
on deposit, in order TO make up his first
81, 500.
About a year ago two men were sent TO
the penitentiary from Brookvile for abet-
ting a similar scheme and one man in the
case committed suicide. a case IS now
pending al Noblesville where a farmer was
fleeced out of $4,000 1t is said that these
schemes were worked by the same men in
Springfield through local cooperation.
1t is said that the victims Of the alleged
ring at Springfield have had a meeting and
placed the matter in the hands Of the pros
ecutor with a renewed determination TO
'clean il up" Dannacher claims to have lost
$3.50 on the foot race and cried like child
when told his money was gone.
Deputy Sheriff Ryan said last night that
there is no athletic club in Springfield
and that Connors and his crowd have been
successfully operating foot races" for the
last two or three years. He said their work
can be traced to several places in Indiana
and Illinois, and that they also worked
their scheme at Webb City. Mo. and Coun-
Gil Bluffs, Ia. He said number OF arrests
will be made in Springfield that will be SEN
sational. as several men who stand high in

LATIMER CASE VERDICT
CORONER'S JURY FOUND THE MAN
WAS KILLED BY PISTOL SHOT,
But Made No Accusation Against Any
PersOn-TestimOny of Private
Detective Parker.

NEW YORK, July 23-The coroner's jury
which investigated the mysterious shoot
ing of Albert c. Latimer in his home, at
Brooklyn on July ,. to-day returned a
verdict that Latimer was killed by pistol
shot wound. No accusation against any
one was made by the jury.
The first witness to-day was Harry j.
Parker, an insurance adjuster, who worked
also as a private detective. Parker testi-
titled that on May /. this year, Latimer
visited him and employed him.
'Why did Albert c. Latimer visit you?'
asked District Attorney Clarke.
He told me he wanted to get evidence
against his wife for unfaithfulness with a
man whose name was given by Mr.. Lati-
mer as Tuthill.' Parker replied. ION May
of this year / went with Mr.. Latimer TO
Tuthills residence in Vanderbilt avenue,
and there l was told by Mr.. Latimer that il
was Tuthills house, and / was to keep a
watch on it and report TuthilIs move
ments to him. On May / saw Tuthill go
to Latimers house at about $50 or 8
o'clock. Latimer was accustomed to reach
home as late as $50 or o'clock" Parker
testified that on one occasion Tuthill went
to Mrs. Latimer at her home and re-
mained there until the middle of the after
noon.
Before Parker left the stand District
Attorney Clarke made the following state
ment 81 have had no conversation with
this witness, but / understand that he can
testify that deceased told him that i'm the
event of his death he would know VINO
killed him, mentioning the names of two
persons. Now this is hearsay and not ad-
nissabe under the law of evidence II
seems 70 me that if this declaration is to
be introduced now, ii would be illegal, cen
surable and cruel As far as / am con-
cerned do not propose asking this man to
make that declara ton.
Maggie Fitzgerald, a servant employed
in house near Latimers, said that after
the shooting she saw a man she thought
was Latmer go TO a window and call for
help. This witness also testified that about
the time the police arrived she saw man
on the roof of the Latimer home
The inquiry then closed and the jury re-
ported, as already stated

as r. Shipp, Senator Beveridge's private
secretary. says the senator is almost uni
formly declining to accept invitations to
deliver addresses outside the State. He is
doing so from the fact that he expects to
go into the campaign in September, and
his time will then be pretty nearly all
taken up. Besides the work of the cam
paign Senator Beveridge will have to give
considerable time to consideration of
questions before the committee on terri
tories, and it is likely that this committee
will have a meeting some time before Con-

and the committee Will want to consider
it at length before that time.

II. 1. Forsyth and Robert Burt, Jr.,
Bring Action Against }. L..
Henderson

II. 1. Forsyth and Robert Burt, jr., Of
this city. are plaintiffs in a suit brought
in the district court Saturday against J. l.
Sanderson Of ~Trempleau. Wis, for $4,000
damages for alleged failure on the part
Of the defendant to properly fulAll the
terms Of a contract respecting the feed
and care OF registered cattle sold by him
to the plaintiffs. Eve thousand dollars in
the First National bank, said to belong to
Sanderson, was attached yesterday after
noon by the plaintiffs.
H. !. Forsyth is local manag Of the
Union Transfer company. and Robert Burt
is connected with a live stock paper in

and $1,000 on March "a.
Under the terms OF the contract Sander
son was to retain possession of the cattle
and to feed. fatten and properly attend
in q manner such as usually done with such
cattle prior to their entry in a public auc-
ton" until April of this year. The ccu-
tract further provided that Forsyth and
Burt were to pay 49, 600 on or before April

|SUIT FOR THREE MILLIONS
Local Stockholders in Utah Nevada Com.
psny Have Rich Hopes,
CATCH De LA MAR AFTER SIX YEARS
Expect TO Make Him DtsgOrGe Some
of the PROFITS 20 which They
Claim TO BE En-
titled.

Local stockholders in the Utsh-Nevada
company, a mining organization incorpor-
sted in Council Bluffs in March, 1894, have
received word from San Francisco which
leads them to believe that they will now
realize a good return from their invest
ments. Six years ago the company brought
suit against. Captain Joseph Raphael de la
Mar. a millionaire mine owner, but service
on the captain was not effected until a few
days ago.
For six years the attorneys for the COM
pany tried ia vain to effect service on Cap
tain de lie Mar, but without success until
a few days ago, when 1t was learned that
he was in Los Angeles. The suit involves
;3,5Oo,OO 0 and 1t is said will prove more
famous than the celebrated Doyle-Burns
mining suit from Colorado.
Isaac E. Blake, who made a fortune in
the early days OF oil in Pennsylvania and
then lost 1t in enterprises out west, is the
principal stakeholder in the Utah-Nevsda
company. The richest properties Of the
company were located by him while build
ing a railroad to connect the Southern Pa
cifc with Phoebe. Nevada. Two Of these
claims, the Monitor aud Jim Crow, we're
sold to Captain de la Mar and under the
terms Of the sale the company claims 1t
was to receive AZ per cent Of the output
1t is said that since Captain de la Mar Sc
cured possession Of these two claims he
has taken out more than 1000, 900 worth
of ore.
The incorporators of the Utah-Nevada
company are all residents Of this city:
George F. Wright, George s. Wright. e. w.
Hart, A. w. Hickman, John N. Baldwin and
Robert e. O'Hanley. The capital stock was
first placed at $4,000. 900. but was subse-
quently increased to $4,000, 900.
Captain de la Mar is said to be a multi
millionaire and Of recent years has spent
much Of his lime in Paris, France, and
this. with the fact that his journeys
through this country we're so rapid. his
mining and other interests being widely
scattered. made 1t a dificult matter to get

time the papers would be drawn up in one
