A Bad Affair,

Last Friday Constable Willard Mark
land, OF Mercer, attempted to stop a
team driven by Geo. w. Lane near the
state line on the Missouri side for the
purpose OF serving an attachment for a
debt owned by Lane to Ravanna
firm. The wagon contained ON e
household goods and Lanes daugh-
ter and her husband and it was pre-
sumed that the family were moving
out OF the state-hence the attachment.
Lane got out of the wagon to compel
MARYLAND to release the horses when
scuiile ensued between the two and
Lane was thrown to the ground by the
officer and held until he ceased resist
ance. 1t was then discovered that in
the scrimmage Lanes left leg had been
broken just above the ankle. Just how
it was done the evidence is conflicting.
Lane says it was broken by kick by
MARYLAND, but the latter denies that he
kicked Lane, and says the fracture
might have been done by attempting to
uptrip Lane. In the meantime while
the scuf1e was going on the team was
driven across the line into Iowa by
Lanes daughter and it afterwards
transpired that MARYLAND did not have
the attachment papers in his possession
at the time he attempted to stop the
team, but the papers were brought up
and handed to the officer by Justice
Hooker, of South Lineville, after the
affair was over.
Lane was taken to DIR. Calbreath's
office where the fracture was reduced
by Drs. Glendenning and Calbreath and
he was then taken to the home of his
mother, Mrs. Hannah Lane, on West
Third Street where he will probably re-
main until he RECEIVERS.
The injured limb is considerably
smaller and shorter than the other,
caused by a white swelling from which
Lane has suffered since he was boy
and the physicians fear that recovery
from the fracture will be doubtful, or
very slow at best, from the diseased
condition of the limb. The question of
who will be held responsible for damages
will probably be settled by the COURTS.

MAY DECLARE A DIVIDEND.
Possibility that a Five Per Cent
Dividend will Soon be Paid De-
pOSitorS.

1t is altogether possible that divi-
dend of 8 per cent will soon be paid to
the depositors of the Citizens bank.
Trustee j. d. Scott stated Monday morn
ing that he was endeavoring to make
some collections at an early date, and if
two collections of large amounts can be
collected Mr.. Scott will be able to pay
the first dividend of five per cent. He
thinks there are good prospects of max
ing these collections, in fact, the money
their will be sufficient funds on hands
to pay all of the depositors part of the
money they lost in the failure.
1t has been learned Indirectly that
Judge Smith Mcpherson is anxious to
close up. the business of the defunct
bank. Referee S. S. Ethridge made a
statement to gentleman in Des Moines
not long ago that he was anxious to
close up the business at the earliest
date possible and he thinks this can be
accomplished by spring. OF course the
land which belonged to the bank will
have to be sold at a sacrifice, but it is
thought best to make some sacrifices in
order to get the business Strengthened
up as soon as possible.
A gentleman, who has wide knowl-
edge of the banking business, stated
yesterday that the failure of the Citi
zens bank was by far the worst failure
that ever occurred in Iowa, and this
same man stated that he doubted il
there was ever worse failure in the
United States. 1t is now believed thai
the depositors will not receive more
than fifteen per cent. The total liabili

The origin of sterling as applied
TO coined money Is thus given In "A
Short Treatise Touching Sherlffs' Ac-
counts" by Sir Matthew Hale. 1853:
Current coin of the realm Is OF gold
or silver, with an alloy Of copper. at
least from the time of Henry l.. and
this alloy gave the denomination of
Sterling to those coins.
"Spelmnn supposeth II to take that
name from the Esterllngs. who came
over and reformed our coin. to that
alloy-of this opinion was Camden.
Possibly In those times pcny was
called Sterling. without any other
reason than the use of the times. as
other names grow. for the old Act of
Henry Ill tells us that Denarius An
gllce Sterlingus dlcltur (n denarlus. or
penny, Is called In English a Sterling.
and because this was the root of the
measure of silver coin: therefore all
our coin of the same alloy was also
called Sterling"
