POTTER'S MONEY GONE
Since the Big Damage Suit Against the
Rich Lumberman Was Begun, His
Property Has Disappeared Very Rap
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque, Sept. 17.-Apparently the
litigation of Miss Sarah Ham, of this
city, against Millionaire Potter, of Du-
luth, is useless because of the authori-
tative announcement that the defen-
dants fortune has suddenly disappear
ed.
There have been many stories of Mr..
Potter's great wealth. He was called
a millionaire. But now while a suit
against him for 100000 is being tried,
it appears as tho his Arabian
nights dream had ended, and he awoke
to find himself penniless and in the
midst of trouble, instead of happy and
rich.
The question is asked: Where could
his immense fortune have dwindled to,
if such he possessed, in so short
time?"
1t was very noticeable during the
preliminary part of the action, that
continuances after continuances were
taken. Potter's attorneys succeeded
by pleas of sickness and inability of
their client to appear in defense, in
having the case put off for months.
During all this time, it is said, the
fortune Of the millionaire lumberman
was disappearing slowly, but surely.
When this money was safely slowed
away, the attorneys for the defense an
nounced their readiness to proceed.
Then came the report that Potter is
not wealthy; that the stories of his
success and riches are fabulous and
that the plaintiff, if she receives a YER
dict, will be unable to collect the
amount of money awarded to her.
The incident brings to mind a SIM
liar case of several years ago. The
defendant then was known to possess
money. When the case was called and
a verdict given to the plaintiff, the at
torneys were unable to collect the
money because there was no fortune.
Not long after, the defendant in that
suit was hunting squirre,s. While rum
ming down an animal a fortune was
uprooted from the ground. His riches
were returned to him and the plaintiff
got nothing. That is said to be the
state Of affairs in the present litigation.
Perhaps a few years hence, Pauper
Potter amy go squirreI hunting and
then find his lost riches, and then he
may be raised to his former position in
the financial world.

Annual Report otNavUO County written by County Recorder Me- Allister, for Governor Brodie's Terri orial Report and will be very interesting reading for all citizens of the county.
 POPULATIoN:-The population of the County has been of a stea- dy and permanent growth in the past year, the increase is due to the settlement in the county of the former residents ofTuba City Coconino county, who having sold their lands and holdings at that point to the government for Indian school purposes and these people without making any inv1dious distinctions where all make an earnest effort in the de- velopmert of the country by hon. est thrift and industry, are very desirable class of settlers and home makers and adapted to the needs of a growing farming community, the man with the hoe' being a powerful factor in our political economy.
 We have about 1000 acres of land under cultivationproducing all kinds of grains. fruits and vegetables found in a temperate climate, and the agricultural pos sibilities are limitless if sufficient water could be had for the pur- pose of irrigating, as demonstra- ted by the rapid growth of all farm produce with the limited water facilities.
 With the increase of a farming population comes as a natural sequence the added financial prosperity of the county. The assessment roll for the year shows about $1, ,5OO,OOO of as- property, being an increase of about $2OO,OOO over last year, but owing to the long continued drought affecting particularly the stock interests and indirectly other industries, the Board of Supervisors sitting as a Board of Equalization made a reduction of 20 percent on stock cattle and horses, sheep. cultivated lands and Improvements, and town lots and Improvements, and stocks of merchandise, leaving the total of assessed valuations at $1 ,229, 644.97.
 FINANCIAL CHAMPIONSHIPS quo ted above the financial condition of the county is assured, conduct ed on economical business prin- ciples as heretofore, with no out standing warrants or other lia- bilities than shown as follows: Territorial funding bonds at per-
 cent dated January 18th lgO3 re-

 These are held by individual ownership and principally grad ed stock, and under favorable conditions of range and water the most imrortant industry in the county proportionately.
 EDUCATIoNAL:-The County Superintendent ofschools reports the prosperous condition of all the schools in the county. each district having a surplus offunds on hand for the ensuing school year, this can be accounted for by the fact that the County Board of Supervisors makes a more liberal apportionment on the tax levy for school purposes than is made by any other coun- ty, to-wit 90 cents on each $1OO of assessable property and 5 per cent of reserve fund, the total apportionment for last school year was over S14,OOO in 12 school districts, the Board real izing that the liberal distribution of money for school purposes is money well invested and are aware of the importance of giv- ing the children the advantage of an education.
 The Church of Latter Day Saints Snowflake maintain an Academy presided over by thor oughly equipped and competent educators, this institution being denominational is entirely sup. ported by the church, together with the public school managed by competent teachers, paid by the county, Winslow has also a very fine school building costing $S,OOO and four to five teachers as also Taylor and Woodruff.

The cost OF raising the wreck will

or AIcClcllan's action Police Commits
sioncr McAdoo was authorized to con
tract for the work at that price, to be
lone by the Merritt u Chapman

The insurance underwriters did not
desire to cXpcnd more than $4,000 for
the purpose. and for that reason ac-
ton was had by the municipal author
tiles. Commissioner McAdoo wrote to
Mayor Mcclellan asking that he be
permitted to take action or that ac-
tiou be taken by some department i'm
! mcdiately. The result was that Mayor
| Mcclellan authorized the police com
missioner to undertake the work.
In his letter to the mayor Commits
sioner McAdoo said:
There is every evidence to believe
that some bodies are still imprisoned
in the wreck and that it would be al
most impossible to raise them unless
the hull itself is raised and moved
from where it low is. The district at
~tornCy's office also advise me That
they feel quite sure that on the hull
being raised they will find physical
evidences which will throw light on
some of the causes of the disaster. l
have suggested to the district attor-
ncy's office that we might blow up the
hull with dynamite, but those concern

if this course were adopted the re-
