farm loans negotiated by the Globe Invest
meut company brought foreclosure proceed
Ingi. In each Instance the amount of thi
loan had b * n paid to the company , bu
never turned over to the holders of the sc
ctirltles. The defence was that the securl
tic- * were not negotiable , and ale that It
the course of dealings the Globe Invretmen
company had been permitted to' make col
lection * ! and had the appearance of authority
to do so. and that plaintiffs were estoppoi
from disclaiming the agency of the company
The court announced that It considered tin
paper negotiable , but found for the defend
ants on the second defense. In Antelopi

the decision. The leading council for tin
defense was Judge N. U. Jackaon of Ink

a half-brother of the Kaffir king. Ho live
In a sod house about twelve miles northwes
of this city , and. If his story Is true , as re
lated to his attorney , James Linlwlch , It i
possible a portion of the estate of Barnati
will find Its way to thl city.
According to Houser , who Is a man o
limited education , about 51 years old , wit ]
a decided accent In conversation , he came t
this country from London In 1S76 , taking u
his residence In New York City , where h
found employment for several ye > ars as gen

Wls. , and for nine years worked on Milppmi
vessels plying the lakes. About seven year
ago he came to Cutter county , wbere h
took up a homestead and suffered the hard
ships Incident t : poverty and misfortune
Mr. Houspr alleges that his fath.-r
Stephen Houscr , died when Martin was abi i
4 years old , and two years later his moth-
married Mr. Isaacs , n Hebrew- merchant > <
London , and the fruit of this marriage v. . .
Barney , or Barnett Isaacs , the diamon
king. The second marriage wa.- " not pl-asan
to Martin , and he left home when a buy n
14 years , and made a living by trav.llni
over England as a fuklr until he set sail fo
America. Barne-y Joined him In his huslnr-s
when he was about 17 years of aii . at whu !
early period he manifested those traits o
reckless daring that marked his later year *
They remained together until the fall o

In his peddling and jugglery , at which h

and that Ms title Barney Barnato Is taken
from his mother's maiden name. Barnettl.
Mr. Hotiii"4 is satisfied that he can pro"
his title of relationship to the dectss--

LEWJSTON , Mo. , June 24. The speech of
Senator Allen In the United States senate
yesterday denying Date-man's cbargca agalust
Hryan and Uryan's explanation aa to why
ho printed Hateman's name to Allen's letter
of notification in the last campaign have
attracted wide attention in those cities
where Datcman Is well known. To the As
sociated Press Mr. Hatcman said :
"Mr. Hryan says bo took my name from
the newspapers and added It to all the lettera
of notification. This t decidedly rich and a
unique method of writing history. It would
have cost him only a 2-cent stamp to have
found out that I did not sign the letter and
that I had promptly repudiated the senti
ment * which it contained. I shall not strain
myself to furnish Mr. Hryan any further
proof. The forgery of a name to the letter
lies between Hryan and Allen and they can
settle the matter to suit themselves.
Senator Allen's tirade In the senate yester
day U renewed proof that only the wounded
bird flutters. Tne lawyer who ba a bad
case usually abuses the opposing counsel , I
hall not retort In similar language. I
have not seen the full text of the senator's
arraignment of myself and therefore do not
know the exuml of his denials. Quite
likely he denies everything In sight.It Ii
most as easy work a to deny In fragments.
The senator Is an old hand at that business
and U strains neither his conscience nor
hla constitution. I trust that they may
have another field day Iu the senate over
the matter. "
