SUIT CAUSES SURPRISE.
Attempt to Force Supposed Wealthy
I Man Into Bankruptcy.

sirourney, Nov. 21.--Levi Bower,
the leading merchant of the town OF
Harper, a few miles east of here, has
had action begun against him by John
Holzworth of the same place to throw
him into bankruptcy. The case will
come before Judge Mcpherson In Des
Moines Tuesday. The affair comes as
q surprise to the many friends OF MT.
Bower as he was considered the acme
Of financial strength He states that
he is peri Getty solvent and will be so
able to prove himself when the proper
time comes. 1t seems that he has been
dealing very extensively on the board
of trade, and, as is usually the case,
was sometimes to the good, and some
times to the opposite. In one of his
deals he borrowed some $4,000 from
John Holzworth and in the clearing
lost on his investments Mr.. Holzworth
then demanded his money and Mr..
Bower was unable to raise it. The
bankruptcy proceedings are the result.
Mr.. Bower has q large farm near Har-
per, an S0-acre farm in Monroe county,
his Harper store and several properties
besides other holdings. He claims that
ne Is worth at least $4,000. and that
his debts will not exceed $4,000. He
owes the Harper bank about $4,000
which is protected by a mortgage ON
the farm. He was member of the board
of supervisors for six years and coun-
ty treasurer four years and for several
years cashier of the First National
bank at this place.
