ALLEGED PLOT DISCOVERED.
Claimed Conspiracy Existed to Muir
der Panama commandments


Colon, Dec. Through a letter, the
Panama government has discovered
what is alleged to have been plot
against the life of General Huertas,
commander-in-chfef of the forces of
the republic of Panama, and an effort
on the part Of few army officers to
persuade the garrison at Panama to
revolt. II such plot really existed,
1t was promptly nipped in the bud by
the apprehension this morning at Pan
anna of four alleged conspirators, who
were Immediately brought under guard
to Colon and shipped thence to Port
Limon, Costa Rica The prisoners
were all born In the interior of Col
ombia and have been on the isthmus
for some years. They were members
Of the Colombian battalion which
gave its support to the new govern
ment when the republic was formed
and which was commanded by Cen
eral Hucrtas. They all took the oath
of allegiance to the new republic and
continued to serve in the army.
One of them is a colonel named
Ferol, two are majors and the fourth
Is the adjutant of General Huertas,
They declare that the charge that
they were engaged In a conspiracy
is the work Of personal enemies and
express the hope that ultimately they
will be allowed to return to the

u Had $4,000 General and $25, ZOO
Court House deposits.
-es Moine-, Dec. 5.-Polk county
had $4,000 of general funds and $685.
900 court house funds on deposit in
days ago, when $4,000 was with
drawn. Both deposits were secured
by bonds SO that the county was per-
fectly safe under all conditions and
circumstances.
The money still is in the custody OF
former Treasurer AL Layman, whose
bond is an additional protection to
the county.
A few days ago Mr.. Layman drew
a check for $4,000 of the general fund
on the Wood bank and said last night
this was honored. 1t was rumored
that the worry occasioned by this
heavy draft led to the suicide of the
banker Mr. Layman said this idea
was preposterous.
Before leaving for Waterloo last
night Attorney General Mullan con-
sidered the matter Of taking action
to collect taxes delinquent from Polk
county to the state.
While there is no way of deciding
definitely what is the amount Of taxes
due from Polk county to the state, IL
is estimated at the auditors Office the
sum will approximate $4,000. Polk
Is delinquent for the months Of
August, September and October. The
taxes due are the general state tax,
and the taxes for the State Agricultu-
raj school, the State Normal and the
State University.
The state auditor Is having no
trouble with any other county in the
but has been unable to secure a set
Element with Polk.
State Auditor Carroll yesterday
morning took the matter up with At
torncy General Mullan. The attorney
general stated that he would not take
any immediate steps 10 enforce col
lection.

Mistake BY Supervisors Responsible
for Swami Land litioation.

Mistake BY Supervisors Responsible
for Swamp Land Litigation.
Des Moines, Dec. "A misunder.
standing is responsible for the swamp
land case which is agitating all Web
ster county and which is now being
considered by the officers of the Uni.
ted States land office In this city.
When the supervisors of Webster
county waived the county's claim ON
the lands now in question. they
thought they were simply waving the
identity rights upon the properties.
as upon 165 other tracts, which were
passed upon at the same time.
The whole difficulty arose out Of
the fact that tho title of the fourteen
tracts ovo- which dispute had arisen
had never passed from the United
States government, but had been
granted by the state to the county
and by the county disposed of to
private parties. under the assump-
ton that 1t would some day pass.
1t has ve.oped during the hearing
that the claim OF William Moses, who
lays claim to the title of the land,
was filed over two months before s. J.
Bennett. the county's agent. submitted
his report, and before it was accept
ed by to board of supervisors.
Moses took his action Immediately
after Special Agent Sanford present
edd his report to the United States
government.

CREDITORS MAY LOSE.
state Bank at Sheldon May Not Pay
LARGE Dividend on Claims.

Sheldon, Dec. las the affairs of
the Sheldon State Bank. which failed
about month ago, are being straight
ened out, II develops that the failure
Is considerably worse than first sup
posed. While the receiver has made
no statement for publication, 1t is re-
ported here that the institutions will,
for the present. pay out only small
percentage OF its obligations to credi-
tors. One estimate says that at pres
ent not more than 20 or rs per cent
of the money needed for claims Is in
sight. The receiver is expected to
make some report tomorrow. State
Railroad Commissioner Brown Is presi
dent of this bank.
One interesting feature to O'Brien
county people Ia the Fact that $2.7O0
OF county funds wereson deposit In this
bank at the time of the failure. When
the board of supervisors met the next
week after the election Treasurer Aid
niger asked them to instruct the coun-
ty attorney to get the money from the
receiver as perferred claim. The
board took the view tnat the treasurer
was responsible for the money AMI
that he must look after II at his own
expense, and that while the money
belongs to the county the board is
In no way responsible for its care.
nor was 1t right for the county to pay
out anything to look after the money,
as 1t is already paying the treasurer
for doing It
