Lt.vroi.Ki Jan. 11. [ Special toTn Br.E. ] Late last night Judge Dundy of tbo United Btatcs courts entered up Judgments against C. W. Moshor , president of the defunct Cap ital National bank , upon tlvo suits Instituted by Receiver Haydon. The Judgments am In the sums of t74.2UI.4S , M3.473 , $5l S2.nO , t,2CG.07 . and rj.iWI.35 respectively , the total amounting to something over $141,000. Four of tno Judgments were secured upon Masher's personal notes loft with the bank when It closed Its doors , and the fifth , for S4.'i,47i ! , was the amount duo the receiver upon the assessment of the stock held by Moshcr. Other suits arc still pending for the assessments upon the slock hold by Moshcr and Outcalt Jointly. 'iho entering of the Judgments by Judge Dundy was pro forma. Neither Mosher nor Outcalt were represented by attorneys , and the cases went by default. All of Moshcr's property that can bo found was levied upon today. Among the pieces of property Is the rcsideuco at the corner of Fifteenth and 1C streets , ono of the filicit In the city. The property will not sell for near enough to sat isfy tlio Judgments , oven If the receiver is able to hold It against the other attachments that have already been levied. Lincoln' * Vlnduct Trouble. The action of the United States courts In placing the Union Pacific railway into the 1 Kinds of receivers has greatly complicated the relations between that road and the city of Lincoln In the construction of the viaduct over West O street. According to thu original contract between the city on the one hand and the Union Pacific and the Burlington railroads upon the other , the Burlington was to advance the money for flvo-oights of the structure , and the Omaha & Kopubllcnn Valley the balance. The viaduct is well along in the course of construction and the Burlington has ad vanced its five-eit'hths of the estimates from time to time with commendable promptness. Tlio Omaha & Republican Valley is not able to moot its share of the assessments , and as it Is a part of the Union Pacific system , the citv is unable at the present time to force a settlement. The only thing apparently loft the city is to go ahead with the viaduct and trust to good luck to recover from the Union Pacific , or more properly speaking , from the Omaha ft Republican Valley , when good times corao again. Stuto Depository l.nw. The recent activity of the three officers comprising the board of approval for the state depository bonds has resulted In a very material difference in the estimation with which the law is hold by the batiks of the Un tn the nresent time seven state depositories have been designated , all within the past eight days. The list com prises the National Bank of Commerce , First National , Omaha National , Commer cial National and United States National banks of Omaha , the American Exchange National of Lincoln and the First National bank of Crete. These seven banks are entitled - titled to hold 110,000 of the state funds. Ono or two more applications are being con sidered , the board having made an especial arrangement with liradstrcet's for assist ance in approving the bonds. Wnen the supreme court meets nexf week the ques tion as to the definition of the term "cur rent funds" will bo submitted for an opin ion. If the court decides that all funds in the hands of the treasurer are included in the description of "current funds" the board will doubtless approve of quite a number of additional bonds. There is a fair prospect that within a short time all the funds of the state not actually needed will bo in the hands of state depositories , nnd that the state will bo receiving a comfortable Inter est for the use of the money. I'nrctonoil n Convict. ' Governor Crounso this afternoon signed a free and unconditional pardon for Frank ilubor , a young man sentenced to the state penitentiary for ono year for grand larceny , ilubor has occupied an unusually large share of public attention for moro than a year. About a year ago ho attempted to commit suicidn because of the coldness of a young lady with whom ho had become infatuated. She rejected his love and proposal of mar riage , and ho imagined that ho could not live without her. His attempt to end his exist ence failed , however , nnd after ho had re covered ho remained in Lincoln and finally foil Into the clutches of the police for the oxov- else of another bit of eccentricity which im- Veiled him to steal about $50 in pennies from a fruit stand proprietor. Ho was convicted nfler lying In jail for several months. Dur ing his Incarceration ho has kept the jail ofll- clals in a ucrpetual state of worrlmeut by his attempts to commit suicldo and his many exhibitions of a weak mind. Upon onn occa sion ho declared himself deal and dumb nnd would only carry on a conversation with his keepers by the use of a slate. Ho after wards regained his speech , and over since has behaved like a man with a choice assort ment of machinery In his head. His father , who resides at Jefferson City , Mo. , has promised to take the young man homo and euro him of his mental disorders. _ I'ostmimtor In Trimble. Constable Hunger went to Davy this after noon with a warrant for thu arrest of J. II. O'Brien , the postmaster at that point , who is accused of having sold property upon which ho had previously given a chattel mortgage. The complaint was sworn out yesterday before Justice Spencer.

The records of tlio sahno land leases were finished in the otllco ot the commissioner of public lands nnd buildings today nnd for warded to the clerk of Lancaster county. Thuro are about 11,000 acres of sallno lands "included in the record and as these lands have all been appraised by the county com missioners nothing now remains but for the holders of thu leases to walk up to the cap tain's desk , pay the amount ot tlio appraibo- inent and secure their deeds to the uroporty. Despllo the ridiculously low nppraisumont the dtato will realize a tidy sum from the Halo of these lands. County TriMRtircrs Settling Up. The ofllcn of the auditor of public accounts is an excot'dlnply busy place these days , us the county treasurers of the state are mak ing tholr Kcml-annual settlements with the auditor and treasurer. Ono or moro treas urers nro presenting tholr accounts every day and probably \vholo month will elapse before the settlements nro all made. It Is upon thcso settlements that Treasurer Hartley Is dopmidinc for resources with which to wipe out a largo share of the lloat- Inc Indebtedness of the state. Ho bollovos that If ho ran Induce county treasurers to imiUo settlements monthly during thu coming ht \ year that he can clo&r away a very largo proportion of the warrant indebted ness of the state before the close of the present fiscal year.
