Former Banker Homes for Settle
ment With Creditors by
Building a Railway.
ATTORNEYS MEET TO CONFER
Will Ask That Komp Be Released and
for the Payment of Debts.

The creditors of the Kenosha Trus
Company and the attorneys interested
in the different phases of the Komp
case met at the office of Attorney
Peter Fisher this afternoon ito talk
over the case and make ans effort to
find some way for the release of the
former banker from the county jail.
Komp was represented by James Cav
anagh, of this city, and Frederick
Kings1and Of Chicago. The creditors
were represented by Peter Fisher, and
Attorney Buckmaster appeared for
the state. The plan is to secure the
release of Konp from custody. and
give him a chance to make good the
losses incurred by the failure of the
Kenosha Trust Company. The friends
of Komp have tried in vain to raise
the cash needed for a bond, and if
some other arrangement can not be
made it will be necessary for Komp to
remain in jail until such time as the
case can be terminated in the Circuit
court.
Komp was not present at the meet
ing, but Attorney Kings1and, who has
taken a great interest in the case,
presented his position to the attorneys
and creditors. Kings1and explained
that it would probably be impossible
for Komp to give the bond demanded,
but he asserted that if Komp could be
released on his own recognizance that
it was more than probable that the
creditors would be able to secure at
least portion of the money that was
due to them. Before Komp was ar
rested he had been employed to pro-
mote railway running north from
Detroit in Michigan. The work of
getting the right of way for the road,
and the other work in this connection
had been all but completed, and Komp
has continued this work since he has
been in the county jail. It is stated
that if he were free he could close up
the deal within ,aafew months, and
that with this deal closed, he would
have cash to meet all the demands
against him. Attorney Kings1and
stated that he had understood that
Komp was to have $25, 700 in cash for
his work in promoting the road.
The effort will be made to secure
composite agreement among the cred
itors in order to allow Komp to have
his liberty SO that he can complete
this work, and should he be able at
that time to meet the demands of his
creditors it is more than probable
that the criminal proceedings against
him will be dropped.
Attorney Fisher, who represents the
larger number of the creditors, stated
this morning that while he had made
no agreement he was inclined to be-
1ieve that the settlement proposed
would be the only way out of the
difficulty. Komp, without,a doubt, is
confident that he can make show
ing if he is allowed his liberty for
short time.
It is not expected that the agree
ment will be reached at the meeting
today, as Attorney Kings1and stated
that he had planned to remain in Ke-
nosha for the rest of the week, if
necessary, in order to make some set

The use of Park avenue for a street

against the coming of the railway was

home paper, he set about sending a

$500 in advance. This he did not

A Lock of Byron'S Hair.
Lord Byron's hair has become a
rare commodity A considerable price
has to be paid even for small locks
at Puttick s. Shortly one will be put
up there to be sold with a letter from
his sister, Augusta Leigh, which ac-
companied the lock when she sent
it to her friend. Many pounds are
expected to be realized from the sale.
This is n rather amusing indication
of the byron Revival in England.
In America, its most striking symptom
at present is the success of The Cast
away Miss Rives' romance based on
the facts and fancies of his life. By
ron'S career seems made to the hand
of the novelist for it is filled to the
brim with mystery, adventures, genius
and love affairs. "The Castaway"
moreover, is interesting, not only as
a story of color and incident but as
a generous estimate and an ingen-
ious defense of a man much hated and
much misunderstood. If it attains the
vogue prophesied by early readers and
indicated by early sales, shall we
not look for THE Byron Collar"
