Sues for S264,OOO
Estate of Ybor City Associations
Head Defendant in Litigation
to Recover Cash.

TAMPA, July Receiver Petite
way for the defunct Ybor City Build
ing and Loan Association has filed a
claim against the estate of Silas L.
Biglow for twelve years in abso-
lutte charge Of the association for
$264,OO0, claiming Biglow owed the
association this sum at the-time of
his death
Biglow, it is claimed, had paid divi-
dends out of money paid in Auditor
Harry Weldon says that the total
deficiency will amount TO 1858. 229.81
How much of this will be made good
it is hard to say 1t has been esti-
mated that mortgages held by the
company will net perhaps $3.50, 900,
but Mr.. Petteway frankly says he does
not know how much they will bring.
Already several claims of payments
on mortgages have been made, for
which Biglow had not given credit
on the books of the association.
Biglow ran the association himself,
no meeting of directors having been
held for years, and it was thought
to be very prosperous What he did
with the money has not yet been de-
veloped, though it is alleged he &C
cumulated large quantities of prop
eTty in his own name. An inventory
of his estate has not yet been taken.
Petteway may call on the directors
of the association to make good part
Of the alleged loss.

YOUNG FLORIDA
LAWYER WEEDS
IN EL0PEMENT
George W, Mcclellan, of Jack
sonviIIe, and California Girl
Married in San Francisco.

Los ANGELES, July 5.-Miss We
nita Consigny a favorite among
younger society folk of Los Angeles.
and George w. Mcclellan. Of Jack
sonville, Fla, were married IN San
Francisco after a highly romantic
elopement from under the watchful
eyes of Miss Consigny's parents, who
reside at the Rampant Boulevard.
The couple were engaged, but their
engagement only was known to the
parents, and they had consented to
wedding in the fall.
Miss Coasigny secured permission
to go to San Francisco to visit a
friend, Mrs. William Swears, Of MARI
borough Hall, She went unaccom-
panied on the steamer Harvard,
There was no chance for an elope-
ment as she boarded the steamer as
she had too many friends who were
on hand to bid her good bye.
1t is supected that in waiting her
farewells over the rail of the boat she
managed to convey some signal to M
Mcclellan on shore, for he returned
to Los Angeles, and as soon as ne
could complete arrangements boarded
first inkling of what was transpirins
reached Mr.. and Mrs. George Con-
signy. Jra in a telegram announcing
the marriage.
Miss Consigny had just graduated
from the University of Southern Call
ifornia. Mr.. Mcclellan had made the
journey from Florida to be present at
the festivities and had spent four or
five weeks here. They met during the
holidays a year ago when he was
spending a vacation in Southern CAL
ifoTnia and Miss Consigny was a IA
vorite guest at many of the brilliant
affairs of the season. Their acquaint-
anCe had been continued by CORE
spondence and Mr.. Mcclellan ar
ranged to be the first man in the field
after her university course had been
completed.
The engagement followed so closely
upon the graduation exercises that it
was quite a shock to the small family
circle who were in the secret.
Mr.. Mcclellan who is 25 years old,
is regarded as one of the most bril-
liant attorneys of Jacksonville. Fla.
His mother and sister are living here
at the Bryson Apartments.
