REAL ESTATE MAN GETS INTO TROUBLE
Texan Accused of MisapprO- priating Funds of Estate
HAS BEEN INDICTED
Duncan Mckay Said To Have Misap- prOpriated Part of Three Millions. Prominent in Social, Political
 and Club Circles

Sterling, H., December 27.-1t is devel- oped today that Duncan Mckay, one of the largest real estate owners in Calves ton, Tex, and whose name is otherwise linked with the rebuilding of that city after the great storm there. has been in- dicted by the October grand jury on charges of misappropriating funds left by his father as part of an estate val ued at s3,0oO.ooo.
 The transactions which led to the indict- ment date back several years. After long litigation here in the circuit court or Whitesde county a judgment for nearly s1OO,OOO was issued against Mckay Be- fore the findings were entered, however, he left the Jurisdiction of the court.
 Duncan Moore, a nephew of,the Calves ton man. then went before the grand jury and gave testimony which resulted in the indictment charging his uncle with mis- appropriation of practically the entire amount of the judgment.
 The indictment was suppressed in the hope that Mckay might return to this state, it being generally understood that he was in Europe.
 It is now averred Mckay has returned to the United States, but his exact where abouts are not known. 1t is stated also that the greater part of McEays hold ings, which include several of tine main business blocks in Galveston, were trans ferred previous to the supposed European trip.
 Mckay is charged in the indictments with having withheld s12527O from the estate of his father. judgment for this amount together with attorney fees of s25,000 was entered in June in favor of Duncan Moore, a nephew.
 Mckay was made administrator Of his fathers estate in 1892. The property then amounted to approximately $5OO,00o In 1896 an order was issued by the probate court of Whiteside, la, directing him to file an inventory and an accounting, but the order was ignored.
 Proceedings were started for a settle nent, the case being drawn in the name of Anna Moore, a sister of Duncan Me Kay, and the only heir who had not set tied claims against the estate. Fifteen years later a final decision awarded the estate S64,95s and interest amounting to s60.512 from the administrator.
 A bond furnished by Mckay as admin strator and signed by relatives was found to be sufficient to satisfy the judgment and the complainants thereupon secured the indictment Stories of disposition of the Mckay property were plentiful, but few of them could be confirmed. Mo Rays relatives, to absolve the bond, have promised States Attorney J. J. Ludena to have him in court in 30 days.

San Antonio, Tex, December 27.-Dun- can Mckay when he made his residence in San Antonio up to less than year ago, was well known here in commercial, social and political circles. He is now said to be living in the south. He was the eSyner of building of which he re- gently disposed which for short while the publisher of a weekly society journal used. He was a leader of the republican party about two years ago here. Civll ac- tion was filed here against Mckay last March. It was sought byA ma Moore and others to put in force in this state a judgment for about $6o,000 given in an H. linois court against Mckay as admlnis- trator of his fathers estate.

Honest Medicines Versus Fakes.

President Taft's recent message suggesting an amendment to the Pure Food and Drugs law in it's relation to Prepared Medicines. does not reieF to such standard medicines as Foley's Honey and Tar Compound and Foley Kidney Pills, both of which are true medicines carefully compounded or ingredients whose medicinal qualities are recognized by the remedial agents for the diseases they ere intended to counteract. For over three decades Foley's Honey and Tar Compound
 has been standard remedy for coughs, colds and affections of the throat, chest and lungs for children anl for grown persons, and 1t retains today it's pre-eminence above all other preparations of its kind. Foley Kidney Pill are equally effective and meritorious. w. l.. Dewoody & Co
