MANY CLAIMS FILED
Eighty Gases Left for Trial Against
Defunct Bank of corwith Many
to Be hotly Contested.


Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, July 27.-Judge Clark
returned Saturday from Garner, where
he has been presiding over special
session of the district court of Han
cock county. The session was con-
vened for the hearing of cases con-
with, and a total of 307 claims were
filed. or these 225 were disposed of
by agreements of settlement reached
by the attorneys, and by the submit
ting of the main facts to the court.
This leaves over eighty cases for trial..
OF these thirty-two can be quickly dis
posed OF by the presentation of the
necessary certificates Of deposit, but
the number remaining Of over forty
will be holly contested. The cases
which will require contest are of four
classes. The first is that in which
banks and individuals hold forged pa
per. This class includes the Des
Moines Savings Bank, the Grundy
County National bank, The Bank Of
Garnovillo, the Peoples Savings Bank
of st. Benedict, and the Bank of Kan
awha. The claims of this class total
100000. Another class Is that in which
the plaintiffs are institutions holding
certificates Of deposit. These are the
Savings Bank of Algona, $4,000; the
Algona State Bank, $1,000; First Ma
tional Bank of Garner, $4,000: and the
Breda Savings Bank, $4,000. The
third class includes tax claims of the
county treasurer, who turned over to
the bank certain tax receipts, while
the fourth class are all claims against
u. L. and o. H. Stilson, who are now
in the bankruptcy court. The total
assets of the bank are $4,000. If the
claims of the banks who have forged
paper are allowed, there will be but lit
tie left for the other claimants. The
question whether the claims of the
banks which hold time certificates will
be settled on a loan or deposit basis
is an important one. If they are loans,
they will share with the rank and file
of the creditors, but if deposits, their
claims will be preferred. Judge Clark
adjourned court Friday until August
10. when these cases will come ON for
trial.

viii Not Embsrrass Hull.

VIII YINOt GUV00VV doo ts0ps
For the first time since the primary
election of June 2, S. Il. Prouty, ac-
knowfedged late Saturday evening that
he was beaten in the race against
Capt. Hull for congressman.
He made the announcement OF that
effect in signed statement after he
had consulted with friends and attor-
neys.
When the count had been COM
pleted in Abel yesterday Judge Prouty
acknowledged that the face of the re-
turns showed that Hull had lead over
him of forty votes. but from the man
ner in which they were counted he
was undecided whether to stop the
board from certifying to the secretary
of state by injunction proceedings.
Il considered this action for some
time, and therefore did not concede
the nomination of Hull until to-
night. o could have prevented the
name of Hull from going on the Of
fetal ballot this fall. but | don't pro-
pose to engage in that kind of politics..
Attorney Dingwell, who represented
Prouty, declared the fight was all over
when the board completed the recount
and urged the judge to make his an
nouncement at that time, but Mr..
Prouty refused, saying that he would
not make an announcement until even
ing. So in a signed statement he says
he will not embarrass or harass Capt.
Hull in any manner whatsoever from
being reelected to congress this fall.
Trouble for Election Judges.
County Attorney Lawrence De Graft
yesterday stated that he Intended to
have the judges and CLERKS of the
Third precinct Of the Seco0d ward in
the recent primary election summoned
before the grand jury and Intercepted
with respect to how mistake Of fifty
six votes occurred in that precinct.
Congressman j. A. T. Hull gained
fifty-six in that precinct on the re-
count by the board Of supervisors.
About 700 ballots were cast. There has
been much speculation as to how
twenty eight ballots marked for Hull
came to be counted for Prouty in the
congressional contest.
Many unofficial explanations for the
discrepancy have been advanced.
County Attorney De Graft apparently
has not been satisfied with the infor-
NAL explanation, and will now get the
story into the official records.
He understands that there Is full
authority within the law for sum-
moning the election officers before the
grand Jury and interrogating them
with respect to what happened at the
polls in the third Of the Second the
night of June 2. 1908. f'a NJ
News that the grand Jury will
make inquiry into the situation in this
precinct, at least. 1t is supposed, will
be received by the politicians with
great interest.
1t is understood that the inquiry
which the grand Jury will institute will
not be distasteful to the officers Of the
election in the third Of the Second.
