BAND MAKES SHOWING

After the showing made during
the Fourth of July celebration by
the new brass band of Lordsburg,
it cannot be doubted that the or
ganization is here to stay, and that
they mean business. Up to the
present the boys have been paying
a high rate of dues to meet their
monthly expense, besides each one
paying for his horn, and now that
they have saved the committee of
the Fourth" celebration quite
sum of money for music, they hav-
ing played during the three days
free of charge, they are asking for
a little monthly support from the
citizens, financially, and in consid-
Grafton of such financial help they
expect to play for any future pub
lie affairs which the citizens of
Lordsburg may enter into, free Of
charge, and in the near future to
begin giving a weekly band con-
cert on the front street of the town.
Many of the business men of
Lordsburg have readily responded
to the subscription list which is
being circulated by Business Man
ager R. S. Sphinx, and it is hoped
that a number of the citizens who
have not been called upon in per-
son will volunteer little monthly
help, say a dollar or so. Keep the
band up, for this town certainly
needs band, and the boys are all
putting forth every effort to make
it one of the best in this part of the
Southwest

That Is All the Money in
Hands of Larimer
Trustee for the Bankrupt Es-
tate of Mr.. BIitz.
HIS SUIT TO RECOVER SIS, 900
From the German
Bank Is in Progress.
Story of High Finance Is Told
in Court.

That James z. Larimer, trustee of
the famous Blitz bankruptcy, is in
possession of just $40 with which to
meet liabilities of the insolvent To-
peka jeweler which run into thousands
of dollars, was brought out this morn
ing by attorneys for Larimer, in stat
ing the case of James e. Larimer,
trustee, against the German American
State bank, which began in the United
States district court this morning be-
fore Judge Pollock.
Allegations of high handed finance,
of slack business methods and of nu-
merous notes given by Blitz and men,
ton of "phony'' diamonds placed in
the German American bank as Secur-
ity for notes, were made by attorneys
in stating their cases.
Proceedings of the entire morning
were consumed by examination of the
jury and stating the case to the jury
by the attorneys. Members of the
jury were put through a detailed ex-
animation.
James Larimer is suing the German
American bank for possession of
$4,000 deposited in the bank by Blitz
December 26, 1912, following the sale
of the Blitz stock to Sam Friedburg
for that amount 1t is claimed by tho
plaintiff that the bank is illegally re-
tanning the money. The question OF
whether or not Blitz was insolvent at
the time of the deposit will have con-
siderable bearing on the case. 1t is
claimed by the defense that Blitz was
not insolvent and that the money was
set off against notes held against Blit2

The PLAINTIFFS Side.
ct will be the attempt of the plain
tiff to show that Blitz was insolvent
and was running an auction for the
benefit of creditors in the fall or
1912" stated attorneys for Larimer.
"BIitz was paying sums of money out
of the sale each day to the creditors.
The sale was run from the early part
of October until December 20. On
December &c, Freidburg came to Blltz
and opened negotiations for the pur-
chase of the stock. No invoice was
taken. The sale was made in two or
three hours. The bank lent Freidburg
money and it was agreed for a lump
sale of $4,000.
THE check was deposited to the
credit of Blitz. The bank is holding
creditors. Blitz's liabilities with east
ern jewelry houses amount to $4,000.
The trustee has in his possession
about SO to meet these claims"
Larimer's attorneys stated that Blitz
had testified differently in the matter
at different times.
Ed McKeever, attorney for the bank,
in summing up the case for the de-
Tense in his statement to the jury said:
Statement of Defense.
In 1910 Blitz made a statement
showing that he was worth $4,000
more than his actual assets. In 1912
he owed the bank about $4,000. The
bank began to feel some anxiety to
the sizfie of the Indebtedness, and
Blitz offered securities including an
auto, a note signed by his mother-in-
law and put up number of diamonds,
representing them at various values
from a few hundred up to several
thousand dollars. The Blitz auction
was not a sale for the benefit of cred
itorS. In 1912 B1itz came to the bank
with an invoice and got a renewal of
the notes, representing that he had
branch stores in towns near Topeka.
He represented the diamonds to be
worth thousands of dollars. Later he
came to the bank and took some of
them away with the promise that he
would turn the money over to the
bank when he sold them. Some of
this he did and some he did not
McKeever stated that at times
Blitz represented to the bank that he
was worth from $4,000 to $4,000
and sometimes as high as 100000.
1.-THE bank had no knowledge that
Blitz had other membranes against
him and had no reason to believe that
he was insolvent when he deposited
the $4,000 on December 26, 1912.

WORK IS TIED UP.
Strike Hats Building Operations VAL
ued at $3O,OOO,OOO.

Chicago, April 16.-Work practical
ly was tied up on building operations
valued at $50, 900 here today and
a hundred thousand union men were
thrown out OF employment as a result
of a strike Of 10000 union carpenters
which went into effect last night. The
strike order by union leaders was de-
clared after a demand for an increase
in wages from 65 to 10 cents ar hour
had been refused by the Building
The association had offered the men
an increase of 2 " cents an hour for
the last Is months of the threa-year
agreement
Contractors estimated that the
amount OF building operations which
will be affected by an extended strike
will reach a figure close to the $780,
100000 mark. Work on a score OF
downtown office buildings is at a
standstill as thousands of other unicn
men, including teamSterS, excavatorS
and building crafts, are affected by
the strike.
When work ceased on approximate
ly 1000 of the 4,500 unfinished struc-
lures in the city, the contractors laid
off all hands except a few men re-
tanned to clean up odd jobs
Watchmen were employed This
precaution was deemed particularly
necessary because of the decision of
most of the employers to bring noh-
union workmen into Chicago from
other cities.
Violence has already been reported
by men interested in the painting and
decorating trade. A big automobile
carrying men armed with brass
knuckles and black jacks appeared on
men were beaten, according to re-
ports.
