his home that will result in his
carrying the right arm in a sling for
a few days at least as the result of
a bad slash received on the left wrist

glass it suddenly gave way and the
left wrist was thrown in contact with
another of the sharp particles of
glass, the result being that a long
gash was cut across the wrist, but
which fortunately was not deep and
did not sever the tendons or cut into
the veins and arteries. The victim

Federal Court
Remands Bank
Suit Back Here
Motion of Defendant First National
r, , , tt t-
iiank to Transfer Lase to U. b.
Court Is Overruled.
From Tuesday's Uaily I
The case of Mia U. Gerir.g, county
Cass count, the motion of the de
fenuant bank to remove the cr;se to
the United States district court ha
ing been overruled yesterday by
Judge T. C. Murger in the court at

This is the action started by Miss

have the funds in the First Xationa
bank belonging to Cass coutty de
clared a trust fund and held for the
repayment of the county. The orig
inal suit was for the sum of $30,000
but this has been amended by the
fact that the bonding company that
carried the bank bond for $20,000
has since paid over this amount to
the county and leaving the funds of
the county still in the defunct bank
some $10,000. This amount is a?k
ed by the plaintiff to be made a trust
for the county of Cass.
In the action of Miss Gering the
County of Cass has been made a party
defendant and the county had join
ed with the plaintiff in opposing the
motion of the defendant bank to have
the case transferred to the federal
court.
This suit was filed originally prio
to the closing or the bank and in
volves the sum of money in excess of
the bond provided by the bank and
which the plaintiff. Miss Gering
claims was obtained through the
representation that a bend to cover
the amount would be provided but
which was not done and after the de
posit of the funds on December 2nd
the bank was closed on December
14th on the order of the board of di
rectors of the bank.
This is the civil suit covering the
funds aud as well there was. filed by
the county attorney an action against
George O. Dovey, cashier of the de
funct bank in which he was charged
with having wrongfully received the
amount on deposit in violation of law
and on which he was convicted in
the jurv trial here and which case
is pending final disposition before
Judge W. G. Hastings of Omaha.

STILL VERY LOW
From Wednesday 8 Daily
The reports today from the St.
Catherine's hospital in Omaha state
that Monsignor M. A. Shine of this
city is gradually growing weaker
each day at the hospital and while
he was slightly better yesterday his
condition has again relapsed and he
is very low, the condition of the pa
tient failing to respond to treatment
and giving but little encouragement
to the attending physicians and the
members of the family. The promin
ence of Monsignor Shine over the
state as a historian and also. as a
leader in his church has caused a
large number of inquiries at the hos
pital as to the condition of the pa
tient and his very serious condition
brings with it a great regret from the
hundreds of friends.
