Bonding Company Will Not compro-
mise in tho Matter Of Short
age Of Bruce
Lakt.
SUIT IS TO BE PUSHED
Amended Petition May be Flied as
Some More Money Has
Been Accounted

From all present indications the
effort to compromise with the bond
ing company over the shortage found
in the books Of Bruce Lake, late
clerk of the district court at Keokuk
has failed. The board OF supervisors
on Thursday expressed their willing
ness to take $1,000. The offer was
communicated to the bonding com
pany at Baltimore, but the company
wired refusal The supervisors
previously had held out for $500.
The Lake bond was carried by the
Bankers Surety company of Mary
land. A suit is pending In the dis
trict court for trial this term, if Il
can be reached, against the bonding
company for the full amount OF the
shortage.
County Attorney E. w. McManus
intimated yesterday that substi-
tuted petition will be filed in the
case as small amounts in the short
age have since been discovered and
accounted for.
Decide to Compounds.
The board OF supervisors decided
that as long as the money was tied
up in the banks, it would be better
to take compromise and settle the
suit. This was the occasion for pre-
senting an agreement to Henry G.
| Walker, local attorney for the bond
| ing company Mr.. Walker lmmedi-
ately wired his clients at Baltimore.
4 Yesterday telegram was received
from the bonding company refusing
the offer.
According to their telegram the
company takes the position that fail
ure on the part of the supervisors to
accept first compromise lets the
bonding company out of any Offer
made now. For this reason they de
cline the $1,000 settlement.
The original shortage as discover
4 ed by the examiners is said to have
been $7,100. Several small sums have
/ been found since, which will reduce
the Indebtedness to $500. There Il
sum of 1900 in the bank

It is believed that the bondinl

Rev. Henry P. Forbes, D. D., died at

ing of Oct. 2. He had until few months
since been in very good physical condi'
ton for man of his years. In the lat
ter part of the spring he began having
trouble with bis stomach, and - It In
creased he went to hospital In Boston,
where be underwent an operation for re-
moval of an obstruction Of the outlet OF
the stomach. The operation was In o
way successful, but disclosed certain ma.
lignant conditions which caused appre.
hension. Though for time he seemed
to gain slowly, the progress OF the mala-
dy could not be checked.

a number of years. He was the author
Of some works of Biblical exegesis, and
had done other writing. He gave q poem
at the unwilling of the Hannibal Hamlin
memorial on Paris Hill In 1909.
Though his principal duties were
scholastic, physical activity and energy
characterized him. he took pride In bis
garden, and kept an active interest in all
outdoor sports, and even degree OF
participation in them much greater than
do most men. Until attacked by the ia
tai malady, he had seemed the embOdi.
ment of health and vigor.
He was an active supporter OF every
good cause, and bad taken particularly
active part in the advancement OF tenn
perance, having once been elected no.
license minority member of pro.license
excise board In the town OF Canton, q
position calling for untiring vigilence as
we'll as courage. He was devoted to his
family, and held the sincerest respect OF
every one.
