BIG snu Of Money Recovered by Receiver Selden FROM BROKERS WHO HANDLED FOR JOHN F. JOHNSON. IT State National Bank Can Now Go Out of Receivership. Through tie effort of Joseph Selden, receiver of the State National bank, which was forced to the wall by the transactions of John F. Johnson, its president, there has now been paid into the hands of the stockholders a handsome some of money, as part of that enormous amount which was played on the board of trade.

Selden and his attorneys, Magee Funk, have been working on the oase for some time and three weeks ago was the first that was known of their intentions It was then that Attorney Funk appeared in the Cass Circuit court with a petition asking that the receiver be given permission to compromise a case with a large broker in a certain large city, who had been the middle man between Johnson and the board of trade. This broker was charged with having knowledge of the use of the bank's funds, and that the misused money was placed on grain by him. The petition was granted and Receiver Seldon today closed the deal by which the broker paid over a large sum of money, which reverts to the stockholders and closes up the receivership. The clew that led to the recovery of the money was obtained from letters left by John F. Johnson in the bank.

In going through these letters the receiver was rewarded by finding the names of the various brokers who had been pulling Johnson's leg. He sent the enormous sums to them in drafts, signed, "John F. Johnson, President State National Bank." By so doing he left action open to the stockholders, by which they might recover part of the money misappropriated. In accepting these drafts the brokers knew that'the money belonged to the bank, or else only Johnson's name would have been signed. A surprising amount of money was spent in this manner, the total of which is held back in the hopes of recovering more from the various other stock dealers.

The recovery of this money is highly appreciated by the stockholders of the State National bank. It will enable them to settle up all outstanding obligations without an assessment on their stock and may enable them to HURLEY AGAIN. OHIO CONVICT ESCAPES FROM TARY CONFINEMENT SOLI. And Waits With a Dirk Knife in His Hand to Kill Daisy Spragne. Otis Hurley the Columbus convict and one time assailant of Daisy Sprague a former resident of this city has made another break from confinement to kill the young lady.

A special "Otis Hurley, the Montgomery county convict who was recently sentenced to 12 additional years in the state prison for an attempt to kill Miss Daisy Sprague, one of the stenographers employed within the prison walls, escaped from solitary confinrcent some time during Monday night. His apparant intention was to kill Miss Sprague when she came to work in the morning, and then try to TH GOLDEN RULE'S IT OF Tuesday, March 28, 1899. declare a small dividend.

When found at 6 o'clock that morning he had a sharp dirk knife and a coil of rope in his possession and was bidden within six feet of Miss-S desk in the office of the glove shop.

Hurley had recently been placed in solitary confinement for an infraction of the rules of the prison. Ever since his trial and sentence on the charge of cutting Miss Sprague he has been surly and evinced a murderous disposition. His escape from the solitary cell was discovered at 2 o'clock this morning, and from that time until 6 o'clock this morning the search for him was prosecuted by Captains Lan- enberger and Vicfcers. Hurley denies that be intended to harm Miss Sprague, but he is known to have cherished malice against her for the testimony given at his trial, which procured for him an additional sentence of twelve Miss Sprague is always in fear of the desperate convict, and from his latest escapade she has reason to be. A Logansport man was in Columbus last Sunday and attended services at the prison cha.pe!.

As he was about to enter he saw Miss Sprague. who is still an employe of the institution, approach and ask one of the guards if Hurley was in the chapel. She would not go in until assured that he was not. MASONS LOGANSPORT AT INDIANAPOLIS TAKING THE SCOTTISH RITE. Since the new millinery department had its beginning a year ago.

Young Ladies Used a Hat Pin on "Statue" in farter's Window. the May Cause Another Suit to be Broujht for Damages. The compromise in which Abe Bingrman received $50 for the loss of his eye, as mentioned in yesterday's Pharos does not settle the case.

It was thought that it was all over, but there is another tale of woe coming from the wife of Abe, because she didn't get her share sf tie coin. It appears from the story that Mrs. B. did no know the nature of the document she signed and it is further said that she was even coerced in. putting down her signature.

The latter charge remains to be proven, however, and may be idle talk. An attorney, however, has the case and asserts that Mrs. Bingaman is a loser to tbe extent of her support: that the elder Abe in tow of his son Abe skipped out in. the direction of Delphi, with the fifty plunks in their leans, and she now wants to know where she comes in. The attorney lurther stated that she bad a claim on the damages.and that the courts decide it.

Tbe Last Week for tbe Docs. The law is the same as last year. If vou harbor or own a dog on first day of April you are liable for the tax you become the owner of one after assessor has passed, it is expected that you report the same to the township trustee' and pay to him. The as- essor baa no authority to kill a dog. If tax is not paid he returns it delinquent to the trustee.

The negro in Porter window, who poses as a piece of statuary was a little warm under the collar last evening. The sign which adorns his 'person reads that hat pins may be used to prove the genuineness of his appearance. Two well known young ladies were in the drug store and after standing by the window a while, one calmly drew a hat pin with a nice sharp point and applied it with a little energy to the leg of the', negro, who saw the move but bravely stood his ground. There was good thick negro blood on the end of the pin when she pulled it out, but never a howl escaped Jrom the victim. He wore a pained look for a few moments, and when-he came out to wash off the bronze paint, he said a few words about Logansport girls that woaid not look-wellin print isit our ready-made department and be convinced of a talking public that our stock is the most complete- 1 in the city Palace.
