nation was very thorough , ocupylng several

pected , the showing being one \ciy com-
mcndabloto the company. The association
has not only complied with every require
ment of the laws , but its tlnanclnl showing Is
such ns to give It rank among the leading In-
Bunmco companies of thu land. The auditor
found nothing to criticise and much to
nniUe , thu association being solid as a rock ,
its funds being bundled honestly , and Its
methods being business-Hue and wise. Tbu

Interest in theColthard case still continues
unabated. The friends of the accused man
are vehement in their denunciations of his
at outers , and thivuten to make It cxtiomcly
warm for somebody when It comes to the lln-
Ish. On the other hand , the ankers u ho at a
woi king the case cliltuthat they tire dally
securing mote damaging cUdcnca agilnsttho
Hni rlson county farmer. The latest was an
nounced yesterday. Tlio facts have been In
the possession of the oflloors foi several days ,
but no Intimation has teachcd the pablio bu-
foie.
It h to bo remembered that Colthard
tlalmcd In justification ot his rourso In con
nection with the Miny Dennis deed , which
has pi oven a forgery , that it wus procured
by "Wills nnd inido ever to Colthard's wife ,
without any knowledge on the part of
L'olUi nit himself as to its nilgln , and that if
It was fraudulent ho was entirely innocent of
the fact. This aiscitlou h apparently dls-
pioven by the stiUMncnt of u i.car relative of
one of the police ofllcers who Is engaged In
working up the caso. This man boirdolnt
tbo Metropolitan hotel where Wills had been
stopping while developing the consphaoy.
Ho his known Wills since his Infancy , and
went to school with him when the two
vu'ioboys , To this man Wills dot illud the
stoiyot the cloud that was supposed to rest
upon the title tothe DotuiU lands and then
gradually and cautlouslv acquainted him
with the hchcmo th it oilginntcd the great
consphncy. He fruiuentiy quoted ronmiks
Colthaid had made and iutimited that Col -
thard know thcto were none of the Dennis
heirs living who could bo induced to
.make a deed , quit claim or otherwise ,
to the ptopeilv. Wills endeavotcd con
stantly to inteiest this man in tbo scheme ,
but ns Wills was almost continuously
intoxicated the man paid little or no attention
to him. Ho often itigotl him to go to Mis-
Valley for the puiposo of meotlng
Colthaid , and offeied to p.ij nil of his ex
penses it he would go Ono afternoon ho
suddenly biought tnattcis to n crisis by tell
ing this man that he wanted to use him for a
purpose and that he could make a cool 1UU in
a few minutes When the ulntivo of the
ofllc'ernskcd for an cxphnatlon Willis told
him ho wanted him to act as a law ) or. He
icfusid and told him he know nothing about
the li\v and advised him to employ Judge
Hhodabcclt , vbu was bonding at tuo hotel
nnd wis in the loom at the time.
"No , I want jou ; I want j on to bo Law j or
Hard ) of Monmouth , 111 , and If vou 'will do
It C'olthard will imj jou SIOO for it , "
Wills earnestly uiged him to go to Mis
souri Valley and meet CJolth.ird , nnd he
linullv consented to do so. Wills paid all ex-
pense-i and nrtangcd thu meeting. Theolll-
ccr's relative siys ho supposed It to bo
merely ; \ drunken whim oi Wills , nnd not
having nnv thing in puticular to do con
sented to go with him. At Missouil Vnllov
they mot Collh.ml , and Wills Introduced
his Council IJlufts friend us Judiro
Ilntdy. Tbo man still thought it
was a hiumlcbs soit of a Joke
until Culthard , after alluding to the mutters
discussed so much by Wills , ilnnlly oflcied
him the SIOO pictured bj Wills lie then 10-
nlizod that thcievas sciious business con
templated nnd Infoimed Colthaid tint hcwas
not Liiwjcr Haidy nnd th.u bo would have
nothing niou ! to do with thorn
Colthard's fiieucU claim that the old imn
honcstlv believed the Council llluffs man was
Judge Hardy , onq of the most prominent nt-
torncjs of Illinois , and that this was only
another instnnco wherein Wills deceived him.
The plans dotiiilcd by Willis to this man
seem to huvo been not a doslro to cloud the
title to Ilias1 Kinds , but to make him trouble
in another way. After the Dennis deed was
put on recoid an Injunction was to bo ob
tained in the federal cotuts in Illinois , alleg
ing the proprietorship of the lands and 10-
sti alningHuss from tbo use of the premises
or In any w ay inteifering with Colthard and
crowd. They reasoned that Htm would
have to go to Illinois to answtr and fight the
injunction , and duilng his absence they
vv ould nut a gang of w/oodchoppcrs at work
and cut and haul nwny all the wood on the
timbered portions ot the Hans property.
This is the scheme detailed bv Willis , the
subsequent transactions appaicntly having
been icsolved upon after tbo Council Bluffs
man refused to Impersonate the gieat Illinois

A few days ago County Auditor Ilendilcks
received u letter fioin an eastern party In ITJ-
gnrd to the swamp land funds. The writer
of the letter ptoposod to look up whatever
amounts were duo from the government to
this county on account of swamp lands nrd
recov er the same for one-third of wlutover
amount that was thus socured. Mr. Hond-
ricks presented tha mutter to the county
boird nnd it was decided to look the situation
up with n vlow to further action. The senti
ment of the members of the board seemed to
twin favor of employing home talent rather
than funilsb fat fves for outsiders , nnd if ern
\ estlgatlon show- , that thuro la any prospect
of recovering any amount the woui of secur
ing it w 111 doubtless be given to local talent ,
The swamp hind sauoino soims to ba a new
foi m of speculation , which Is having qultoa

the government granted txi dilTeront stntos
largo tracts of land , w hlcli vvc.ro known JSas
swamp lands , they being dotimod of llttlo
value when the goveniment suivoys wora
mailt ) . Some of these linds worn subject to
yearly overflow. Iowa divided units swamp
lands among the several lomittca in vvhlcn
such lands were located , and this county \\as
j awarded c ulto u pot Uou. Some of tuU lauii
has proved lo bo valuable , and some ol It hml j
been sottlol upon or embodied In rights of
way given to rnllvva)1 * . The government
provided thit such suiunp lands n.s hid thus

government.

lately It Is elnlmod that a Chicago nttotnoy
wasctnplojed bj tbo board , on recommend i-
tlonof the county auditor , and that the
nut-cement was to pay tbo attorney onc-hnlf
of the amount recovered. Ho succeeded In
getting $1,000 , nnd turned SJ.OOO into the
county. It Is said that it Is now discovered
that the county auditor was himself inter
ested with the Chicago attoinoy and out of
the attorney's M nor cent was to receive JO
pet * cent personally.
County Auditor Henorlcks Is not of the
kind to get Into any suehschemons this nnd
on receipt of the ptopositlon from the east
promptly turned o\cr the pipurs to the
county board. Thciowas no sugKostlon In
this proposition of any division with the

county no suspicion can arise.
Tbo auditor will imostlgato the matter suf
ficiently to determine whether the board
ought to pay nny attention to the matter , nnd
will report at tbo April meeting. If this
county Is to seek any recovery , the develop
ment and se'cuiing of theiliilm will ptobably
bo put into thu bunds of some otto here , as
the cltv nnd county can furnish tbo needed
talent to look after the business fully as suc
cessfully as It can bo cared for by those who

Eor sov oral dav s past the cnng of housebreakers -
breakers which has been accustomed to ply
their trade In this city hive been In a state
of ictironient. Night before , last , however ,
they came to the front once moro , the scene
of their opciatlons this time being1 the resi
dence of K. Li Shugnrt , at the corner of
Tiist avenue nnd Sixth street. Mr. bhu-
gart wont home at about midnight , and
it Is supposed that the imuauders
were In the house nt that time , ns a number
of articles weio lying untouched which arc
commonly supposed to bo dear to burglars'
hearts. As it was , a sealskin cloak and muff
of Mrs. Sliugnrt's ' , u watch and chain and an
ovcicoat were taken. A dozen silver dessert
knivrscto also missing , but one of them
was found just outsldo the backdoor , where
it had evidently been dropped while the
thieves wcie lliug.
How the entrance was effected is not posi
tively known , as there nro no minks of vlo-
loneonnj where to show that forcible entiy
had been made.
The doois were nil fnsteneel when the fam
ily retired for the night , and it is thought
that the bui'Kluis got in thiough a woodbox
which opens iuto both the woodsticd and the

old veterans in a degree of fen or that made
them forget the perils of the past.
The I/idics1 Relief corps provided a bounti
ful supper and nobly performed their part
towuid making the occasion pleasant to all.
The eamptlros were not extinguished until a
late hour , and when the old veterans filed
out of the hall they each felt ten years
