OFFICERS OF BANK INCLUDED They, with Ben Marks aad Oae Vtllsen, Alleged ts Hore Allow Hint Be Fleece hr Mtrkrar. Samuel Sutor, the hotel keeper of Cass Lake, Minn., who paid a fee of lft.40O for lh, privilege of being Initiated Into "Th Ancient Order of Mikes." organised by J. C. Maybray and hla gang of swindler, wants hie money back. Evidently realising that Maybray has enough troubles of hla own to contend with and has need of all the spare rash he can rake together to aecune ball and the numerous charaea pending against him Butor has brought ault against Ernest E. Hart, president of th First National bank of this city and others, charging that they were Implicated In the conspiracy which parted him from his hank roll. Th ault Instituted by Butor la brought In the United Statca court In this city and according to the notation of the deputy clerk of the court waa filed laat Tuesday. For some reason or another not yet ex plained the fact of the filing of th action did not become public until yesterday. Thla may possibly be due to the fact that Butor la not represented by any of tha lo cal attorneys, tha petition having been filed by Guernsey, Parker and Miller, a firm of Do Molnea attorneys. The defendants named In, the suit are Ernest E. Hart, president of the First Na tional bank; John J. Rplndler. cashier of th same Institution; George Wilson and Benjamin Marsh. The last named la evi dently meant to be Benjamin Marks aa he la referred to as such In the body of the petition. George Wilson's Identity is yet a mystery, but he Is presumed to be the member of the Maybray coterie, who figured prominently In a. large number of th transactions of the swindling syndicate aa the "secretary" of the alleged Pitta burgh millionaires. As far aa can be learned the officers of the federal court have not yet secured service of the papers In this suit upon Mr. Wilson. Charge la Conspiracy. Sutor charges all of the defendanta named in his suit as being implicated In a deeply laid conspiracy to Jar him loose from the sura of 15.000 which he brought with him from Minnesota to Council Bluffs. The petition, however, fails to disclos th slightest Intimation of what induced Butor to bring thia sum of money with him to thia city. There la absolutely . nothing In the petition on file in the federal court that glvea the slightest hint that Butor came to Council Bluffa equipped with such, a turn of money for the purpose of shearing some lambs, but that aa things turned out Sutor waa shorn of his' own wool, towit, the $8,000 which he now aeeka to recover from the First National bank and others alleged to have been Implicated in th ahearlng of hla wool. Aa to thia the peti tion is evidently discreetly silent. Sutor does, however, allege that on hla arrival in the cltv of Council Bluffa he was introduced to certain officials of tha First National bank. Theae officials, so Sutor alleges, represented to him that Maybray and his associates were all men of large wealth and that in fact they could be classed among the list of millionaires. It was further represented to him, so Sutor alleges, that the members of the million aire colony were putting in their spare time engaging Ineports of various klrfds, sjch as horse racing, boxing, wrestling, foot racing, etc. Sutor brought with him, ao he says, a letter of credit for 16,000, but whan he wanted the First National bank to give him the money on it, he waa refuaed. The officers of the bank, ao Sutor alleges, ad vised him to draw a check upon the Flrat National bank of Cass Lake, Minn., In which he had his account. Sutor says ho did this, because he relied upon the Integ rity and good faith of the bank officials. The check, Sutor aays, was , accepted y tha bank and, In return he waa given a certificate Of deposit for $6,0O. This little formality having been com pleted Sutor alleges that ha waa then taken to the Grand hotel by hla friend, Barney Martin, who Introduced him to several of the bunch of aportlng millionaire who were putting in their spare time, and Inci dentally their aurplua rash, in promoting all kinds of innocent aportlng events, In cluding horse races. During the course of the betting on the horse race gutor'a money, which he had drawn out of th bank, was used as change for large bills and disappeared with the bunco men. In brief, Sutor claims that the bank offi cials and Ben Marka. whom he took to be one of the bunch of millionaires, were fully aware of the inethoda of tha swin dling syndicate and that they willingly permitted him to be led forth "Ilk a lamb and shorn of his fleece." ALOONME- O AXXIOl'S SEAT Jadare Wheeler Haa Twenty Cases fader Advlsesaeat. Some twenty saloonmen are waiting in suspense for the decision oi juoge Wheeler of the district court In th in junction eults brought against them by M. H. Odle of Des Moines, attorney tor the Iowa Anti-Saloon league, in the name of Joseph Leadsr of Oakland, a leading member of the prohibition party In Pottawattamie county. No new injunctions were granted yes terday by Judge Wheeler, but he loot under advisement about twenty of 'ho aaloon caaea. The greater part of yes terday In district court waa taken up by arguments by Attorney Odle and th many attorneya for tha Various defendant aaloon keepers- In th caaea taken unuer advisement law questions are mainly In volved. Attorney Odle contended that the failure of the saloonkeeper to pay the mulct tax promptly on January 1 of each year and to file a new bond each year constituted violations Of the mulct law. The rasa aga'net the aaloon of Bern hardt at Klein waa continued, it being ehow n to the eourt that a prior Injunc tion had been brought against the linn by . J. Whitaker of thla city. The case against the State hetel and C. K. Good rich waa dismissed, aa an Injunction had been secured by the county attorney against thla party.

Aatl-Salosa lesgue five saloons in the city have closed , their doors, but ' with some of them, It la satd, th caseation from buelneea will only he temporary. Many of the saloonmen are rearranging their places ao as comply with all the technical provisions of the law In the future. Those who have had their storks ef liquor In the cellara of their plarea are now bringing them up Into their main rooms, remnants of the old partition are being removed and in fact everything that waa In any way contrary to th strict letter of the law Is being done away with. The salermmen are also awaiting anlously for a correct report of the de cision of Judge Bolllnper at Davenport. If the decision la Correctly reported. It looks aa If all aaloonmen agslnst whom In. Junctinne have been secured at any time will have to procure new petitions of con sent. County Attorney Hess haa aent for a copy of Judge Bollinger's ruling. Several of the saloonmen have filed new papers with the consent of the property owners wtthln fifty feet of their saloons. This Is Is asserted ought to be filed anew every year.
