WOODMEN MAY LOSE
Their Suit involving 100000 Thrown
Out Of CONTRACTION Was Against
Bondsmen Of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Suit May Be Started.

Sioux City, Sept. 15.-The litigation
between the Modern Woodmen Of
America and the bondsmen for r. II.
McCutchen, the insolvenl banker Of
Holstein, is at an end, the case hav-
ing been dismissed from he United
States circuit court Of appeals at Chey-
enne, Wyo. A. F. Call and e. b. Hub
bard of Sioux City presented the OPP
posing arguments in he trial. The ap-
peal had been made from a ruling by
Judge Reed Of the United States court
in Sioux City that the bon1smen had
a right to dismiss a petition. When
the court of appeals intimated that
Judge Reeds ruling in the bondsmen's
favor was right, Mr.. Call, OH the part
Of Bort, asked for a dismissal to avoid
adjudication against him. The con-
troversy grows out of the loss of $780,
900 by the Modern Woodmen by eason
of insolvency Of the private bank of
e. H. McCutchen.
The first suit was brought by Nc
Cutchen's bondsmen against the re-
corder of Ida county to enjoin him
from recording the bond, which had
been signed by about twenty residents
of Ida county to guarantee the safety
of the McCutchen bank. This action
was removed to the federal court by
the Modern Woodmen, who shell
brought a new law action through
| Wright & Call to recover the $780, 900,
the defendants being the McCutchen
estate and the bondsmen for Nc
| Cutchen. Later the Woodmen dis
missed the suit and Bort brought an
action against the McCutchen bonds
men to recover the deposit of 100000
Of lodge funds, which suit was also
dismissed.
Then Bort filed a cross-petition in
the original suit for McCutchen's
bondsmen. Judge Reed held that the
McCutchen bondsmen had a right to
dismiss their petition and sustained a
motion to that effect by Hubbard and
Burgess. Bort appealed from the
order of dismissal to the circuit court
of appeals. Now the whole matter is
out of court.
The Modern Woodmen of America
probably will begin a new action.

He seemed to be feeling depressed and
talked continually of some trouble
that his parents have recently had. He
called his wife into q bed room and
talked with her some minutes, when
without warning he pulled a little re-
yoolver out of his pocket and fired at
himself. File fell upon the bed and
declared to his frantic wife that she
was not to blame; that his anxiety
was all due to his parents difficult
ties. DR.. Hamilton stated that the
ball entered Newman's side just above
the liver and took a downward course
into the abdominal cavity, being re-
moved from the left side of the ad-
domen by an operation. There is some
doubt as to his recovery.

ing of testimony and the hearing OF
the evidence offered by witnesses is
occupying the attention of Judge Nc
Eie and the jury.
At yesterdays session of the court
Rafael Vigil, the first witness to be
examined, was called. He was not
one of the 1874 plaintiffs mentioned in
the case, but merely witness called
by the attorneys for the plaintiff.
He testified that he had known some
of the plaintiffs for 20 or 80 years and
that to his personal knowledge they
had been residents on part of the San
gre de Cristo grant for ten years prior
to the year of 1899; that they had
titled the soil, raised and harvested
their crops, sold the same, and in fact
had made their homes there for that
period of time in apparently undisput-
ed possession.
At today's session Faustin Trujillo
was called to the witness stand and
offered pretty much the same testi-
mony. He testified that he knew part
of the named plaintiffs and that to his
personal knowledge they had been in
possession of the land for ten years
prior to the date OF the year 1899.
