Fisher of Chadron is on trial before three supreme court commissioners for disbarment for his connection with the estate of Herman Gocdde , who died leaving land in Sioux county. Under the Nebraska law , passed years ago when the legislature thought foreign investors would gobble up too much land , an alien cannot inherit real estate in this state. Mr. Goedde left heirs in Westphalia , kingdom of Saxony. | Under the law the estate must f escheat to the state , the latter to * pay the appraSKl price for the I property. Mr. Gocddeas not jl a millionaire. The value of his I estate has been much in dispute I and thereby hangs the tale. Twice \ claims were presented to the legis- I lature of the state , once for § 8,000 j. ; and again at § 11,500. These were presente 1 by Mr. Fisher on be half of the heirs. A letter from * the heir ? , written in German , val- s tied t'-ie ' land at 4,500 marks , or § 1,175.r rhe \ local appraisers , provided - * vided for by law , appraised the i land at § 1,500 in 1902. The origi nal appraisement afterwards turni i c i up with tie amount change 1 to § 11,500. The legislature rejected the claims and after an inquiry direct ed that disbarment proceedings be ' brought against Mr. Fisher. In the meantime Mr. Fisher had a blank deed on file with a Chadron bank for the land and he obtained title to it in the name of his wife for § 900. He garnished the mon ey that was on deposit with the ; blank deed. A'l ' this is to be ex- I plained to court commissioners C. IT. Sloan of Geneva , Walter Anderson of L i col. ) ; m-i II. P. Lt'avitt Of Dmahaj appointed by the court as referees to take testi mony. l's FAME. Mr. Fisher has been a dia ui.sed figure in northwest Nebraska - ; braska for many years. He was formerly a member of the legisla ture and had his picture taken with Joe Burns of Lincoln and others , including populist mem- jbsrs , who captured the organiza tion of the house of representatives and had themselves appointed on ! a sifting committee. This occur red at the close of o. senatorial con test in which they were not suc cessful. Mr. Fisher enlisted in the service of his country during the Spanish-American war. lie was captain of a Chadron com- pan3r. He distinguished himself at Chickamauga as the attorney who defended one of his private. soldiers , John G. Maher , against an order of General Frederick Grant against the use of typewrit ing machines in camp. Long be fore this it was said that Mr. Fish er was the "hero" ' of a book.

( Page 2L 4. ) 7 WLat were the highest and MR. BRYAN'S OPINIONS. The plan of guaranteed bank de posits has probably found favor , among all classes of people and ir respective of political affiliation , more rapidly than any other pub lic question. The new state of Oklahoma has already enacted a law taxing state banks , the fund thus accumulated to be used in paying the depositors of any state bank that from any cause becomes unable to meet its obligations. A special session of the Kansas legislature has been called for the purpose of enacting legislation similar to the Oklahoma plan. The governor of Nebraska is considering the advisability of calling a special session of the legislature on account of the grow ing belief among the people that protection to bank depositors in the form of state or federal guar antees of their deposits will stop the hoarding of money , bring into circulation sufficient currency to conduct the business of the coun try , and prevent a recurrence of such disastrous panics as the one through which we are now pass ing. ing.Mr. Mr. Bryan has been an advocate of a law guaranteeing deposits in state and national banks since 1893. The legislature of Ohio has adopt ed a joint resolution inviting Mr. Bryan to address its members in joint session February IS , 190Son the subject of Guaranteed Bank Deposits.
