FOR FORTY THOUSAND Col. "Dick" Thompson Sues tha Big New York Bankers, the Seligmans. INVOLVES A DEAL IN STOCKS the Said TVoulil Be a Good Pi-rmuneiit Investment, but Which Wan No Jngrnm-Slaiichtor Feud mid Shooting Mrs. Howurd Identifies the Wrong Mftn'n Kemaiu.s— Unusual Collision on the Kail. Terre Haute, Oct.

W. former secretary of the navy, has entered, suit in the United States circuit court at New York to recover $40,000 damages from J. Seligman, bankers, of that city, for the alleged conversion of worth of stock to their own use to which he says he was the real subscriber. The suit was begun about two weeks ago and an answer is due on or before Nov. 4.

In 1SS5 Thompson subscribed $15,000 to the flock ol' the Aztec i.and and Catili- company. The 1 L-: hare was made by the banking firm ir. behalf of the former secretary. A tfleprram from New York quotes Kerry Stligman as saying that the books of the firm showed that the stock is credited to Thompson acd that there was no attempt to deprive him of his just belongings. Colonel Ingersoll represents Thompson in the suit.

The allegation is made by the former secreatry that the hanking firm simply tock the $15,000 from him and did not credit him with the purchase of the stock. Found That He Had Xo Certificate. In the complaint fUefl with the clerk of the United States circuit court a.t New York the story is recited that Jesse Seligman went to Colonel Thompson one day in 1SS4. and offered him a permanent Investment that would bring about good results. It was stock in the Azetc Land and Cattle company, which owned immense tracts of land in Arizona and numerous cattle.

Thompson agreed to invest $15,000, and accordingly he claims that sum was deducted from his account book with the bank, and he supposed himself to be the owner of 150 shares of the company's stock. After a time Thompson removed from New York to his old home in Indiana. He heard nothing further of his investment, and suddenly awoke to a realization of the fact that he had no stock certificate to show that he had spent $15.000. Therefore he wrote to the Selig- mans. He then learned, so he claims, that all the stock stood In their name, and that, so far as the company's books were concerned, he was unknown.

Stock Had Commercial Value. In 1SU4 he wanted $15,000 badly and wrote the banking house that, as he had never had any dividends or any certificate of stock in the cattle company, he would like the money which had been deducted from his bank account. He failed to receive a reply that was satisfactory to him, but after further correspondence was told that, while the bank would not refund the money, it would have 150 shares made out in his name. Thompson unwillingly consented to this, taking the stock at par. Recently, he claims, he looked up the Aztec Land and Cattle company's affairs and discovered that while the company, the land, and the cattle really existed, the utock had no commercial value and was not listed.

He communicated with Colonel Ingersoll. who consulted with the Seligmans, but they would make no other settlement than that already made.

As the home has but tiro inniaces, it would seem to be a very expensive way of taking care of their and indigent brothers. Boston, the hub of the universe, is the place where the 1898 session of the sovereign grand lodge is to be held. The price of the official receipts now on hand has been reduced by the sovereign grand lodge to $1.50 per book of 100 receipts. A new Bebekah ritual, to be issued to lodges without coat, and a new official receipt at $1 per 100, is the way the sovereign grand lodge made amends for the work of a year ago.

Oct. shooting affair in Boone township Thursday was a second outbreak of the Insram- Slaughter feud, which occupied several lays of the September term of court, in ivhieh Ingram claimed damages for a severe beatingr administered by Slaughter. The case was compromised by Slaughter paying Ingram $300 and costs of prosecution. The wounded men are George Slaughter and John Holsapple. The former married a step-daughter of Tile Ingram.

Several years ago there was a falling out because of differences over division of property left by the mother of Slaughter's wife. The assault upon Ingram grew out of this trouble. Green Salughter is a half-nephew of George Slaughter, and in September last he married a daughter of Ingram by George Slaughter's mother-in-law, and since hia marriage he has lived with Ingram. Thursday Green Slaughter started on a hunting expedition, armed with his shotgun and revolver, and while pass- Ing through the woods he passed George Slaughter and Holsapple, who were putting up a wire fence. Green Slaughter ficcosted George concerning language understood to have been used with reference to Green's wife, and the men came together.

Green claims that George drew Holsapple in front of him. and then struck at him with a hand- axe, wounding him on the back of his hand. Green then used his shotgun, firing at Holsapple. Part of load struck Holsapple in the hips, and the rest took effect in the body and legs of George Slaughter. Both of the injured men fell to the ground, but afterward regained their foot and retreated as best they could, claiming as they did so that Green Slaughter fired five more shots in their direction, this time using his revolver- After the fight Green Slaughterreturned to Ir.gram's home and surrendered himself to the authorities.

No agreement aws reached at the conference. State's Attorney Deneen vigorously opposed the demand that the prisoner he released on bail, and the upshot of the argument was that no formal demand for the prisoner's admission to bail was made.

Ex-Judge Vincent said he would let the matter rest for two or three days and then make formal application, When the application is made it will probably be by way of habeas corpus before another judge. As to a new trial, it is hardly possible to have it in this county, or any other county nearby. The papers have so fully printed the details of the evidence that it is almost impossible that any who has read them can have failed to form an opinion and a very decided one.
