SwindIing on a Large Scale.

A series Of swindles, on quite ane
tensive scale, has just come to light,
in which the bank at Humausville,
Collins, Osceola, and the two banks
at this place were the victims. The
perpetrator OF the crooked transac-
ton was man by the name Of Fred
Cochran, a farmer about thirty years
Of age, living near Tim, st. Clair
county, about ton miles northeast Of
this place. His method oidoing bus.
mess consisted OF giving a chattel
mortgage on mules and other stock,
some of which existed only in his
Imagination. This property, real
or imaginary, was mortgaged to
some or all OF the banks In question.
Cochran left the country last
Thursday but his destination is I'M
known. He is q married man and
has hitherto sustained q reputation
as an honorable upright citizen. A
vigorous effort will be made to bring
about his arrest, a. the banks are
we'll organized for hunting down
criminals OF this character it Is safe
to predict that he will soon be safely

money over a period Of forty years

Marseilles, April 1.-THE king and

on the royal yacht, accompanied by an

pleased. and a few days g the kaiser
visited Morocco and made a slgnlncant

against the Anglo-French

invasion of the Mediterranean sphere
by Germany caused violent feeling in
both England and France, n imEce-

land had n significant private visit with

that they discussed the Anglo-F'rench
attitude toward the new German pre-
tentions. Now, if Edward should visit
Morocco, it would be tantamount to an
nouncing England as the ally of France
in Moroccan policy. n would more
than eve isolate Germany. The kaiser

FOR a NEW COURT HOUSE.
'auik County Structure Was Delayed
Until Bonds Could Be Sold.

Faulltton, S. D., April ~n.-Through be
ing too particular an eastern bono pur-

p~OrtunitN 10 invest in bonds to the amount
of $50, 0Q0, which were voted by the voters
of this county for the construction of Il
county court house, which is now in pro-
cess of erection at this place. The cast
urn parties had agreed 10 take the bonds,
but at the last moment refused to ac-
cept them, the refusal being based upon
mere technical grounds. 1t was thought
this might hamper the work of construct
ing the new building, but such is not
the case. Tho bonds make q very desir-
able Investment and other parties were
anxious to purchase them. AT q meeting
of the board of county commissioners.
which was held q few days ago. the board
entered into u contract for the sale of the
bonds to other purchasers on practically
the same terms IS arranged witt, the
parties WHO had originally expressed a
desire to purchase them. The members
Of the board decided it would be better
to sell the bonds to other parties rather
than to bubble with the persons who origi-
nally had offered to take them. The sale
of the bonds having being concluded, the
work OF constructing the rev court house
will proceed without delay.
