up But for Authorities

New York. March DIR. J. Grant
Lyman, who has been indicted by
the federal grand jury in connection
with his operations under the guise
of the brokerage firm of John H
Putnam & Co. of 68 Broad street, ar
rived here yesterday afternoon from
Florida. He was met at West Phil
adelphia by his wife, who was per
lRjtted to talk to him during the
run into this city. Then she went to
her hotel, while Lyman was brought
to the Federal building. After Il
brief talk with Assistant District At
torney Edwin M. Stanton and Post
Office Inspector McQuillan he was
taken to the Tombs.
Lyman is more than six feet high
and fairly stout. He is clean shaven
and carries himself we'll. He was
dressed yesterday in a long brown
raglan, a black soft felt hat, and
a soft collar.
Lyman had little to say as he
went through the formalities of sur
render to the marshal here, but

Says Company is Not InsoIvent.
Lyman denied that John H Put
nam & Co. was insolvent. and assert
ed last night that he intended to
take the business out of the hands
of the receiver, ] L. Lyttle. He also
suggested that it would be well if
the Federal authorities here would
make rigid inquiries regarding money
he said had been taken from him.
Mr.. Lyttle had receiver a telegram
stating that about SIS, 900 in cash
would come to the Putnam business
from Florida. The message said also
some stock certificates were being
held there, but Lyman suggested
that there was an envelope contain
ing twenty $1,000 bills which had not
BEEN accounted for, as he had the
money at the time of his arrest.
To Deputy Marshal Vinzant, who,
with Deputy Marshal c. l.. Hathcocll
and Post Office Inspectors Mayhem,
Swain, and Kenyon, brought him from
Florida Lyman had said he intended
escaping to Honduras, where he would
be safe from extradition and that he
had put into ST. Petersburg, Fla, to
purchase a $500 vessel to take him
across the Gulf of Mexico.
He reckoned that he had $4,000 in
ca sh and securities aboard and as all
the crew were going ashore he dis |
persed it about his person, about S14,- |
900 being in a belt, the $4,000 in the |
envelope in a pocket and either cash
or securities concealed in other pocl-

set upon by a gang of men, who ex-
hibited a warrant, and then, he said,
made dives for his pockets TO extract
his bills. The men were, he asserted,

and two citizens.
For a time Lyman refused to admit |
he was the John H. Putnam wanted in |

Sheldon. April 1.-THE board OF
education of the Sheldon independent
school district has sold the bonds for
the new $4,000 high school building to
George NJ. Bechtel & Co, of Daven-
port. The company offered $1,000 or
$4,000 premium for the $4,000, twenty
year, Az per cent bonds. This high
premium makes the bonds in reality
AN per cent.
The bond houses claim this is the
highest premium ever paid in Iowa for
an issue of AS per cent bonds.
The present easy conditions of the
money market. and the prevailing low
rates on first class bonds, was the
cause OF this very advantageous sale.
Taking the premium the board re-
ceives into consideration. it makes the
rate approximately Az per cent per
annum and will save the district about
$4,000 in interest during the. life Of
the bonds over the rate that was pre-
vailing a year ago when the O'Brien
county court house bonds were sold at
5 per cent fiat. Other bond houses
bidding were Wells Dickey, Mime

dose of salts caused the death here OF
Francis. 4-year- old son of Mr.. and

death of the chiid's grandfather
Chambers Hester.
Mr.. Hester had mixed dose OF the
medicine and had swallowed Il part or
tie contents when his little grandson
playing at his knee, said. Grandpa,
give me a taste Of that medicine.
Mr.. Hester gave the child the glass.
Instead of ejecting the bitter tuld
from his mouth. Francis swallowed the
medicine. In a few minutes he was
in commissions. Before his mother
could reach him. he had dropped dead.
A few minutes later, Mr.. Hester was
seized with a violent sickness. but

of the fluid from his stomach. His re-
covery is doubtful.

the contents Of the bottle and found 1t
to contain strychnine.
