FORTY-THREE ARE
INDICTED in ALLEGED
MISUSE0F THE MAILS
BANK FRAUDS IN CONNECTION
WITH LION BONDING & SURE
TY COMPANY, CHARGED.

Omaha, .Neb., Dec. 19.-Forty- three
persons, among them prominent New
York, Chicago and Omaha business
men, including rs well known Ne
braska bankers, were indicted here
late yesterday by federal grand
jury which reported to United States
Judge J. NJ. Woodrough for alleged
misuse Of the mails and conspiracy to
use the mails to defraud. The indict-
ments are the result of investigation
by federal and state authorities in
connection with transaction which are
alleged to have wrecked the Lior
Bonding & Surety Company of Oma-
ha.
It was charged that those indicted
had misrepresented the status of the
company in various ways and had
fraudulently induced the sale, sub
scription and approval of stock and
bonds of the company.
All the defendants are accused un-
der the various counts, some as Off
cials of the company, some as friends
of the company who gave accommoda-
ton certificates Of deposit and others
as stock salesmen.
The charge is made that the mails
were used to carry out a plan to boil
ster up the company's surplus in or
der to obtain requisite standing with
the government to issue bonds ac-
ceptable in governmental business.
It will be recalled that at the time
of the closing of the Sheridan Coun-
ty State Bank, that that institution
had fifty thousand dollars Of deposits
bonded in the Lion Bonding Company
and when the county attorney notified
this institution of it's liability, he was
notified that the so-called bonding
was in the hands Of receiv-
ers. It seems that this company is
now mixed up with Uncle Sam At
the same time the Lion Bonding Com
pany of Omaha went to the wall, there
was also a Montana fake bonding |
with offices at Helena, oper- [
ating in the State of Montana, who
closed their doors about the same
time, and the officers departed for |
sunny California, but there has been
no action reported against them, up
to-date.

Eranded as a renegade by Jean
Longuet. French socialist and grand
stn 81 ksrl Marx, in an interview
with The Federated Fress correspond
ent. I.oaslet was Lot at all back
ward about expressing his views .,f
the ex-premier.
"Clemenceau is a renegade pre-
gresslve," he said, "an autocrat who
has lost favor even with his own fol-
lowers. He is a nationalistic jingo,
without a party, and his great per-
sonal and politicl prestige is weaken
ing daily"
The personal acquaintance of Lon
guet with Clemenceau dates back 70
childhood. Longuet's father was an
exile in London for years following
the defeat of the Commune of 1870.
Clemenceau made special trip to
London and brought the elder Longuet
back to Paris, where he made him
foreign editor Of Clemenceau newspa,
pers. 1t was while the elder Longuet
was in London that he met the eldest
daughter Of Karl Marx among the
little colony of political exiles and
married her. Getting back to the sub
ject of Clemeneeau, Longuet bitterly
scored his record during the war. "No
longer is he progressive, man who
would bring political exiles back
home. Now even his own groups, the
and military cliques, are
fighting HIM"
While in the city Longuet spoke at
two large meetings, one in the Lyric
theater and the other in the Unitari-
an church.

The audience, about third Of whom

Under the land grant system, state

REDUCES AMOUNT OF

Joe Dolin has at last settled for his
1913. seed grain which he borrowed
from the county, by aid of his erst-
while friend, Jimmy Redmond, and
his attorney has given the county a
check in payment for the same and
the check has been cashed and good
coin OF the realm has been placed in
the county treasury to offset a part
of the $4,000 shortage of the 1918
seed grain transactions.
Mr. Dolin came into court and paid
this amount rather than go to court.

Here again is another case where

about the settlement last week:

HANS RASMUSSEN
GETS ELECTION
CERTIFICATE
County Commissioners Change Mind
and Sign Up Same-Plot Not to
Issue IT.

The friends Of County Surveyor
Link rugged up nice little scheme a
couple of weeks ago which they in
tended to put through, but it seems
that for some reason or other the
boys lost their intestines.
At the meeting of the Board a
little more than a week ago, when
the certificates of election were sign
ed, it seems that one was not signed,
that of Hans Rasmussen of Dagma1.,
the newly elected County Surveyor.
It seems that Mr.. Link and some of
his friends who have not got over his
defeat yet, even though the people
showed that they did not want him
any longer by more than a two 20
one vote, got their blocks together
and made up their minds that they
would have their friends on the Board
OF County Commissioners not issue
Mr.. Rasmussen certificate of cleo
ton. Of course the fact that the Su-
preme Court in the Wolf Point Pop
lar contest decided that the duties of
the Canvassing Board are merely
ministerial did not bother them, they
We're going to keep Rasmussen from
taking office, If they could, declare
the office vacant and appoint Link
again to leech the taxpayers for two
more years. Mr.. Link, in his simple
minded way, has been telling every
one who will listen to him that Mr..
Rasmussen is not qualified. Mr.. Link
thinks that no one can engineer but
himself. Of course Mr.. Rasmussen is
SO far ahead of Link as an engineer
and a man with some sense and un-
derstanding that there is no compari-
son, but Link or his friends do not
grasp this fact. So much for the
conspiracy.
However, this week Jens Ibsen
made up his mind that his friend and
neighbor Hans Rasmussen would be
able to do the surveying alright, al
right, and he came in and told De-
putty Clerk John O'Grady that he
wanted to sign the. certificate and he
did. Mr.. Matkins and Mr.. Tyler then
signed also and the episode thus
closes. Rasmussen's bonds arrived
today and will be signed and filed in
a couple of days, and next week Mr..
Rasmussen will take over the office
of County Surveyor and run that of
flee in the manner that it should be
run.
Mr.. Link will look for a job some
other places.
