$ MOOOO. A H Clark Is on Hartley's bond
for $300,000 , on the Plrst Nallonil bank de
pository bond for $100000 and apaln on the
Jleservo bond for $100000 Mary Pllrgerald
Is on thn Hartley bond for $10i ) 000 on the
i ejected Plrst National bank bond for $50 000
nnd on the subsequently approved Meaervo
liond for $100.000 , Charles A. Hanna Is on
the Hftrtloy bond for } 50 000 on the rejected
Tirol National hank bond for $ .10000 and
apnln on the approved Meservo bond for
$40 000.
The difference In standing which these
officers of the Plrst National bank of Lin
coln acquired between November , when they
signed their own depository bank bond , and
December , whpii they consented to help the
populist mate treasurer provide the neccs-
Hary bond to enable him to assume olllce. ap
pears fltlll further In Hie altitude of the gov
ernor toward the hank In his message to
the legislature already eiuoted , the governor
nhovvs clearly thai the $200.000 state deposit
In the Plrst National bank at Lincoln was
placed there Illegally by Treasurer Hirtley
before any depository bond whatever was
offered , and puts In question whether the
bond subsequently given really covers this
Illegal deposit
\\hen the populists took complete control
of the state house last January It was loudly
proclaimed tint they would Insist upon a
cash Kcttlemcnt by Hartley , and that de
pository banks would either have to show
the cash nnil accept It upon a now deposit ,
or glvo new bonls to secure their holdings
One ot the first things Treasurer Meserve did
after taking possession of his olllco was lo
AddrcsA a letter to the officials of all the
nolvent depository hanks defining his post
ilion and requesllng them to turn their hold
ings of htale funds back Into the stito treas
ury as soon as possible In this letter ho
Btatcd that If any of the banks wished to
continue as state depositories they might do
BO , but that ho preferred them to furnish
A now bond. It was further announced that
.many of the depository banks v.cro adopting
the treasurer's suggestion and forwarding
their holdings to the state treasury , some of
ihom In hulk and others In Installments and
that two binlcs had at that time already fur-
jilshed new bonds
U would be supposed that with this an
nounced policy Governor Holcomb would In
sist that the $200,000 deposit , which ho says
was deposited Illegally with the Plrst Na
tional bank of Lincoln , should ho covered
by some security on which the state could
jccovcr In case of loss That much would
bo required by plain business principles The
fact Is , however , that the bank that acco-n-
modated Treisurcr Meson e with nearly
$500,000 on his olllclal bond has been al
lowed to keep this money and has It todiy ,
though it has not yet put up a bond which
Governor Holcomb would consent to approve
TreaBiircr Meservo siys he his not unite
any new deposit under the bond rejected by
Governor Holcomb , and has withdrawn borne
ot the money , tut admits that there Is still
on deposit unsecured except by thia bond
nearly $100,000 ot stite funls Governor Ilol
comb Is said to bo aware of all those Irreg
ularities , but up to date lie has taken no
action elthei to require a new bond fiom
the bulk or to replace on the Meservo bond
with batlslaclory sureties the names which
he rejected when presented by the bank.

Governor Holcomb said on the stand yes
terday , In the stated suit against the Hart
ley bondsmen , that the state statute vvnlch
Is construed to moan that a governor shall
require a state treasurer who succeeds lilm-
self to produce In cash state moneys that
are not on deposit In state depositories , was
a "farco and a sham. " Therefore , ho did not
rcqtrlro Hartley to produce at the end of
his first term some $149,000 In money , but
ncccpted certificates of deposit In lieu , which
ho did not know wore genuine , although ho
considered them to bo ao from their appear
ance This is the sort of testimony ho was
called upon to glvo by the state In order to
refute Iho defending bondsmen's open charge
that If the governoi hid required a strict
accounting from Hartley a shortage would
have been found to have existed at that
time.
" 1 did not think that the statutes com
pelled mo to require Hirtley to produce In
money such part of his cash accounts as
wore not In depository banks , " he said " 1
considered It a farce and a sham "
In this connection It also developed dur
ing llio day's proceedings that these certlll
catro of deposit did nut appear In the rcc
ords of the olllco at all. Hartley did no
have them entered on the books The ccr
Ulltales themselves were kept under Hart
ley's cvvn kev all the while. Consequently
when the books were examined thcro was a
shoiUgo of $149,000 on them Hartley made
up this shortage by producing the ccrtlficitcs
of deposit and showing the.in to the governor
After this accounting Hartley took Ihe cer
tlficatcs of deposit ind pul them , in his owi
inhale receptacle-again , but at the opening
of the second term the books of the olHco
hhowcd that Hartley had produced In casl
this missing $ ll',000.
CONTUNTION OK THC STATR.
Herein lies the stale's contention The
bondsmen allege that the books showed a
shortage of $449,000 In cish This they say
was an actual shottage , undlscoveied because
the governor filled to observe the statutes
by requiring a strict accounting of the
money In the firet place , they hold tha
the governor did not know that the cerllH
ciles of deposit Hirllcv turned over to hln
vveto genuine. Then they contend that the
governor did not know w bethel or not they
icpre entctl the actual money It t'le slgni
tures upon them were corrccl. The stale
will piodticc witnesses to contiovert this
position.
Governor Ilolcomb was In attendance a

their ease before noon and the gov 01 nor
was called to Ino stand by the stite foi le

yesterday morning for the llrst time since las

law weie being discussed they have been
In elm go of a bailiff The case was taken
up al llie point where It had been Intcr-
utpted Under the ruling of Judge Powcl
last Prlday afteinoon , the defendants wcte
allowed to show that Hartley's bond was
not approved by the goveinor on Jauuiiy 3
Ib9j , the firsl day of the term , aflcr which
they maintain It could not have been legally
approved Cx-Secrotary of Slale Piper was
Iho first witness called
DCPENSn CONCLUDES ITS CASE
Ex-Seeretaiy of State Piper testified that
it > nnd others , Including Hartley , went to
Govctnor HoLomb's olllce at 5 o'clock ci
January i , 1805 Ihe first day of the term , to
iavc him approve the bonds of the Incom
ing olllcers
According to the witness , Governor Hol
comb told Hartley that he desired him to
strengthen the bond ho offcreil 'ind Hart-
e > said he would do so If he was given
noi o time Governor Holcomb staled thai
10 was not satisfied with the sulficlency ol
the bond Hartley took his bond and left
the governor Th court would not permit
; ho witness to s.ay that he hid given Instiuc-
tlons to his deputy , Evans , to remain In the
secietary of stale's office until a late hour
of the fame day to tecoive Hartley's bond if
t was offered for filing purposes The uur-
) ese of Iho question was to show lint the
bond had not been offered for filing
Attorney General Smyth put the witness
through a long cross-examination to test his
recollection of the meeting. He asked if ho
ild not know that the bond had been left
with the governor and did not leave his
ollice until Jinuary 7 01 8 , but Piper was
positive that Hartley took it with him
When Piper was excused General Cow In
somewhat surprised Iho attendants at the
.rial by announcing that the defending
jondsnicn's cose was completed.
The state began its rebuttal testimony
by endeavoring to disprove the sworn
declaration of ex-Depuly Secretary of State
-Ivans , who swore poblthely a few diys ago
hat Hartley's bond had not been filed until
January 9 Ex-Secretary of State Piper was
called to the slant ! and was asked to iden-
.Ify the bontl record of bis olllce. accorllng
to which Hartley's bond was filed on Janu
ary t , 1S93 This conforms with the on-
dorsemcnl on the bond , but the defense
Introduced evidence thioiigh Evins to show
that this endorsement was a forgery , Evaiib
sweating that the filing did not take place
until six days aftciwaitl
The witness swore that the entry In the
bond record showing that the filing took
place on January 1 , 1S93 , was made by II
L Puller of Imperial , a clerk In the secre-
taiy of state's office
Iho stale did not at this time Introduce
the lecord In evidence Piper was excused
fiom the stand and ex-Deputy State Treas
urer Hartlull was called Through him ,
whom the defending bondsmen iicetl to try
tn show that a shortage existed at thu end
of the llrst turn , the state now endeavored
to piove that no sliortago existed
Haitlett testified previously that Hartley
had on hand on January 3 , 1S95 , in cash and
in depository banks 'ibout $450,000 less than
HIQ $ U58 OC8 75 ho should have had on hand
The state Insists that this difference was
deposited In other than state depositories
and that Hartley hold certificates of deposit
for the amount.
KUNDS IN OTHER BANKS.
The bondsmen bold that Hartley had no
right to put state money In other than
state depositary banks and the state treas
ury , and that , therefore certificates of de
posit In other Instllutlons cannot be con
sidered as cash
Attorney General Smyth went to the heart
of the matter by asking Hartlctt If. on Janu
ary 8 , 1S95 when ho and Hartley checked up
the books , it had not boon found that the
amount of cash on hand , the certificates of
deposits In othei than depository banks and
the deposits In depository banks equaled the
a mini tit with which ho was chargeable
Thu defense objected on the ground of
Immateriality In the first place , U held
that as deposits of state moneys In other
than dcposltoiy banks weio Illegal , they
could not bo Included as part of money in
the tioasury In the second place , It was
maintained that the state must confine
Itself to showing the condition of the treas-
111 y on January 3 , 1895 , the day the account
ing should have occurred and not on some
day afterward , U wa urgued that be
tween January 3 * nd January g Hartley
might have collected or borrowed a sulll-
clcnt sum to make up the alleged $450,000
defalcation at the end of the first let in
and thus conceal It Moi cover. It was
argued further , lu support of the conten
tion that deposits ot money In other than
depository hanks should not be considered
cash , that Hartley might have borrowed
money to make up his shorUgo , deposited It
In the hanks and received certificates far
it and afterward wlthdicw and returned the
money , leaving the shortage again
OBJECTION IS WITHDRAWN
When Iho trial was ituuuiEtl In the. after
noon the ilefeiiso withdrew Us objection to
tlis question. Ex-Deputy State Tieasurer
HarMctt then proceeded to relate how the ne
counting wns made on January 8 ISO'S.
The witness testified that Hartley had re
ciupsted him to mike up a s'ltement of thi
aniount of money In dcioslloty banka thi
cish In the treasury and money In some
other liinks To that s'ateznent Hirllpj
added what he had In his charge which con
slsted of rprtlfintps of dcposltsln banks noi
depositories , drafts and other papers Tin
totil equaled the amount chargeable to the
treasurer , so far as the witness knew Or
January s the governor went to the trcaa-
uror'u ofllro and Hirtley handel the state
ment to him. Hartley explained the state
ment to the governor and handed to him the
bunch of certificates which he had added
to llartlett's stvemcnt The go\crnoi
checked the statement and the certificate *
and they apparently balanced
Hartlett did not know what the papers
and certificates of deposit were , as Hartley
kept them lu a pocketbook which was locketl
In the Rate or In his desk Hirtlett had ur.
access to them These certificates of de
posit were not recorded In the books of the
trcaaurer , So iDartlctt testified last week
Ho said then that some open hank accounts
appeared on the books , but not the entire
amount of the certificates of deposit , which
In said by the state to cover the alleged
shortage ot the first term
NO ENTRY OP CBUTIPICATES.
Upon crosa-ox.amlratlon Hartlctt elated
that there was no entry on any of the books
In the treasurers office of these certificates
of deposit.
"Was there any record whatever kept on
the books of these certificates of deposit
which made up the difference between your
statement of the amount In depository banks
and of the cash on hand ami the amount
with which Hartley was chargeable ? " askeil
General Cow In.
"No. sir. "
"Weio not the accounts carried on the
books of the second term as If cosh Instead
of these certificates of deposit were pro
duced' "
"Yes sir. "
Thus , according to the evidence so far
produced , the hooks of the ofllco showed that
there should have been $958,000 or more In
the treasury , hut that there was actually
$149,000 less accounted for by the same
books This wis the condition when the
accounting was made to Governor Holcomb ,
but Haitlcy made up the difference by pro
ducing certificates of deposit and drafts of
which no record waa kept Aftciwnrd no
lecord of these certificates was made on the
books , but the books were cairled as If the
ictual cash had been produced. Hartley
again loolc possession ot them and Hirtlett
or no one else had access to them The pa
pers were put under Hartley's private Kcv.
Hartlett of his own knowledge did not know
whether the papers were really ceitlficalcs
ot deposit
GOVERNOR ON THE STAND.
Uartlett also said that ho did not know
whether It was state money or Hartley's own
money that appeared In the running accounts
In bulks other than depository banks v.hlch
ho Included In the statement for Hu Hey
Ho wns of thu opinion that the money be
longed to the stale
Governor Iloleomb was called to the stand
and , after being sworn was asked to testify
regarding this accounting with Hartley on
lanuary S 1S05 about which Hartlett had
Just been testifying
Governor Holcomb said he told Hartley tha
it was 1m duty to ascertain the condition o
the t'easury ' and he had called for that pur
posa He said Hirtley too'c the books an
wont over them 1 hov asccrtlined the bal
anccs against the heasuier , thu amounts i
depository banks , the other bulk crcdi1
consisting of certificites of depjsil ahnos
exclusively ot llio amount In the cducatiot
fund , "which could not be put in state deV
V > OHitorles , ' and the cash on hand Iho ro
suit was reached that Hartley accounted to
all the funds clnrgciblo lo him by his loc
o-ds The credits in depository banks , th
certifitvites of dtvoslt , the cash on hand am
one running account In the Plrst Nationi
hank of Lincoln equaled the a.nount o
money chaigcable to Hartley on Januiry 2
189ri at the close of the term
When the governoi had made this statement
mont Attorney General Snivtb asked
"Stale whether or not the accounting on
that day showed Uaitley was a doiaulter
mid state whether you know it. "
SMYTH MAKES AN OPFEU
The defense at once objected siylng tha
it was for the Jury and the court to de
termlne whether ot not a defalcation existed
The objection was sustilned The attorney
genet al then whispered an offering to the
court icpottcr so that the Juiy mi ht no
hear to the effect that he wished to show by
the witness that Hartley was not a defUlte :
at the end of his liist teim and that Gove'nor
Holcomb did not know hu was a defaiiltei.
Governor Holcomb was also questioned by
the stale on the matter of the filing of Ihe
bor.l and he fiatly ccntradlctcd the state
ment of ex-D puty Secretary of State Evans
that the bond hd nol been filed 111 ! Janu
ary 9 , 1S91 Governor Ilolcomb said
"The bontl had been filed In the olllce of the
secrctity of state just prior to the time on
January 3 , 1S ! ) " > , when Hartley prcse'iited It
lo mo for approval "
Governor Ilolcomb also contradicted the
statement of ox-Secretary of State Piper
that after the governor refused to approve
Hartley's bond Hartley can led the bond
away with him.
The governor said that Hartley was liii his
olllcu it 5 30 o'clock on January 3 , 1895 , but
that ho did not present the bond to him
until some time about G o'clock , when no
one else was present. Governor Holcomb toll ]
Hartley that he could not appiovc the bom
then for lack of time The governor kept
thp bond for some days and then returnetl
It to Hartley It was then that Hartley
sccurctl the additional signatures in this
city.
COWIN ALLEGES NEGLECT
Upon crcss-oxamlnatlon General Cow In set
out fiom the beginning to attempt to shaw
by Governor Holcomb that he had been neg-
Icclful In not icqulrlng Hartley to have the
actual cash Instead of certificates of deposit
at the accounting Gineial Co win , Insisted
Ihat the statutes requlicd In thu case of a
state treasurer who succeeds himself that
the governor shall not approve his bond until
no bad "produced und accounted ' lor public
funds and property Ho maintained that the
word 'producttl" meant that aotual cash
should be on hand Going on this theory
Geicral Cow in for almost an hour cross-
examined the governor on his construction
of this statute
Governor Holcomh said he knew there
was a staluli thai contemplated that thu gov
ernor should not upprovo the bond of a
treasurer succeeding himself mull the fundj
lad been produced and accounted for and he
nsistod that he had obeyed this Ho did
lot regaid that the stalulo contemplated
hat the "production/ ' should be made In
- ash "I dltl not think It my duty to require
t ' said the goveinor , " 1 regarded It as a
jl.um and a furco to do so "
Did you decllno to loqulio Hartley to
produce the cash because you considered It
would bo a aham and a farce' "
' I did not decline. I did not think It was
required,1'
"Did you consider It right that the treas
urer soulil scatter the educational funds
among hanks which did not piotcct them by
L depository bond and should loan them to In-
Ihiilualb ? "
Governor Holcomb vvould not answer di
rectly , although the question was repeated
several , times Ho said that the depository
aw did not permit school funds to bo In-
rested In depository banks Ho did not
hlnk that a big amount of money was safe
n the treasury vaults and theretoe under
ho circumstances regarded as proper that
t should bo placed In other banks
CERTIFICATES APPEARED GENUINE
In ccisvvci to furthei questioning the gov-
'inor said that the certificates of deposit
verti on some fifteen or twenty banks , but
10 hail made no memoranda of them He
lid not know whether or not they were
; enuliip , but considered from their appear-
ince that they were The certificates ropro-
ented funds that belonged to the cduca-
lonat fund General Co win again asked
uvcral questions whether he did not know
hat the treasurer could not legally place
he funds except In depository banks and
ho treasury , but the court would not allow
horn over objections
Geneial Cowln then turned his attention
o the matter of the presentation of the
> ccid to the governor by Hartley on January
: , 1S95 The governor Insisted that after
la it ley had given the bond to him on tint
lay about C o'clock ho had kept It and Hart-
ey did not take It away The governoi do
lled that ho had examined the bond , told
laitley the sureties were insufficient and
uggestod that hu fchould get additional
Ignatures Ho salti he , did not examine tht )
iccid at that time at all
General Cowlu gave the bond to the gov
ernor and asked him to Indicate what nig-
i natures were1 on It * heti U had been presented -
sented to hlrii The state objected. Gen-
I oral Cowln starelTihut he Intended to show
tint the bond vvifs' offeretl the governor on
January 3 1S9S , that It was taken away
that same daJ"bJ"Hartley ; that Hartley se
cured addltlrrtMr signatures and then brought
tt back to thb gfrvprnor The purpose was
to show that iJho Instrument had not been
proferly filed. . JulKC Powell took the point
under advisement , as the regular hour for

all mounted an the best of stock known In
this section , and we thought It would bo n
mere latk to run them In The band had
been stampedl"- stock , and finally got
u > o bold that they would como up near the
camp on the run , then stop short nnd look
at us , giving a soil of challenge as It were ,
ami then wheel off like the wind
"Wo started early In the morning and rode
across the inesi fo- about ton miles without
seeing a thing , then one of our party though
ho saw some antelopes ovei by a big butte
They weie coming our way , so wo stopped
and In a few minutes It dawned upon u
that they weto n band of wild bronchos
They v.eie moving along in a bunch anil th
wind had lifted a column ot dust , so th it they
looked like a hi ? comet flying ilong th
ground with the tall In thu air They hat
evidently sighted us anil were going to'stam
petlo oui horses You know how Indhn
thiow themselves out of sight on their horses
Well , wo played the same gunc and rod
siowh along looking at the flyltiR b onho '
lust under the necks of our animals Oi
they came nearly fifty of them like i whirl
wind and cnesL'titly ' we saw that they were
led by the big black stallion llml so inanv
ncrsons have Hied to catitutp It was will
the greatest dllllcuKy tint we ke.H out horse
quiet and It was t'asy to see how the wlL
horses could stamptAle othot animals Whei
the tlrovo was'within twenty y-irds of us i
scuarated , as though to sur ouncl us ' 1 hot
wo could hold oui anlmils no longer and a
Iho word from Hie boss wo dashed nt the
diovo /
"It was the sight of my life , and I've been
on the plains for veais In all kinds of places
The wild hoises stopped instantly , all ex
cept the black tstalllon He came on until he
reached us then Ihrew himself on bis
hau'ichos , pawing the air Per a moment
his head seemed l to bo uroundel will
lariats anil I would have s-voin thai two
went over , bu& ho dodged them all and ran
at us striking our horses , anil nfler healing
his way illiectjy tluough 1m turned and lan
The ojthprs had deserted llim and it w r
now a i ace to thu finish 1 ve scon some
ildlng , but this beat anything in my ex-
perlpnco. It was a fairly good country , but
cut by v ashouts , so that ono moment we
were In the bed of a wash and the next fly
ing along the mesa 01 leaping some creek
over the botildeis , 01 circling around billies
Pinally we ran down inlo Ihe level country
wheie big biittes rise up like ruins of houses
a place the men called the Enchanted
City Here the herd gained on us and after
four hours of the hardest riding , we saw
them climb out of a big arroyo , golrg right
up the slopp that our horses half an hour
later absolutely refused , and so they disap
peared We were dead beat , anil all icady
to acknowledge It I don't believe1 there is
a horse In Arlrona that can catch that
stallion "
'Iho Rovernor of the state has been re
quested to take some action , and undoubtedly
the curious exhibition of men tiylng lo
exlermlnatc horses will bo seen Ari/ona is
cot thu only stale where such horses aio
found Largo herds are lo be seen In Cali
fornia , and on the San Joaquin plains a
noted stallion has led the forces for years
a magnificent creature that has aroused the
cupidity of many a lover of horscllesh
One man offered $1,000 for him , and over
fifty men have laid traps to capture him
Afler various methods had failed , they
formed stations and ran him at full speed to
one , or near it , where a now man would
start In In this way he was chased by
fiesh horses for over 100 miles at what was
supposed to be full speed , but the pursuers
never got nearer than 500 yaids to him.
