CLAIMS HE WAS BuNcoED.
Farmer Brings Suit to Recover Amount
Of Check on DIN Bank.

special TO TtmeS-Repubiican.
Davenport, Jan. in. r. Smith a
well-to-d do cattleman, living near DIN.
Iowa, has commenced In the district
court of Scott county an interesting
suit, growing out Of the insolvency of
the bank of DIN, and to which, thru
one Of the details of an interesting
business transaction, the First Nation
al bank of Davenport Is made party.
The papers In the suit, filed by At
torney Louis Block on Smiths be-
half, recite that on Dec. IL last, Smith
sold lot of cattle to Miller Bros, of
Jones county, Iowa, and received
therefor check on the Stanwood,
Iowa, Savings bank. Presenting the
check the same day to e. e. Snyder,
who owned and operated the Bank of
DIN, Miller says he was requested by
Snyder to accept a certificate Of de-
DIN was all right, Smith accepted the
certificate. But he claims that Snyder
made the request of him with intent to
defraud him, as he must have known
that the Bank Of DIN was nopelessls*
insolvent. The next day, December
10, Snyder made an assignment for
himself and the Bank of DIN to one L..
NJ. Carpenter.
Miller's check had been sent to the
First National bank Of Davenport was
collected from the Stanwood bank, and
credited to the account owing the
Davenport bank from the Bank of
DIN. Miller claims that owing to the
fraud which he alleges was practised
on him by Snyder, the title to the
check did not pass to him. After the
bank announced that it was broke, he
made several demands for his check
and repudiated the transaction, but
has not been able to get it back. He
claims that the account of the DIN
bank with the First National was oth-
erwise secured, and asks that the First
National be declared to be holding
the money in trust for the plaintiff,
and that he be given Judgment for the
face of the check, with interest.

Rocker and Tyler Rocker were less

err of the engine. Late last night the
physicians expressed hope that
Lighter might recover although one
jaw is broken. a leg is fractured, and
his body is badly bruised. The alb
sence of internal injuries is the thing
upon which the physicians base their
hopes.
The cause of the accident is I'M
known. Lighter had fired up the en-
CINE preparatory to going to the Rock
er farm to shell corn. Lighter stood
on the platform and is thought to
have run cold water into the boiler.
