I. B. MARTIN, Cashier.
MOBB FCHOE8 OF FLACK.
Mortgage and Note of Ilepoaltor Tak
en from Deposit Boy.
Jobn D. Cramer, by his attorneys,
Moore Humphrey, filed a petition
today In tba district court against
the Abilene State bank, Edward Ma
kins, receiver, and J. N. Dolley. bank
commlsslc-ier, asking the court to do
clare certain funds in the bands of
the receiver In the sum of 34223.33
to be a trust fund and belonging to
Cramer.
Cramer claims that he had a note
and mortgage for the above sum- In
bis private safety deposit box in the
bank vault, and that the officers of
the bank, presumably the defaulting
bank cashier, J. A. Fiack, opened
his box, and took the note and mort
gage out and placed It among the
assets of the bank, and afterward
tbe bank sold and Indorsed it to a
depositor of the bank In payment
of tbe money due the depositor.
Cramer's claim Is that Inasmuch as
the assets of tbe bank were Increased
and bettered by the wrongful act
of the officials of the bank, In un
lawfully intermingling his note and
mortgage v.Hh such assets, he
Is entitled to have the amount de
clared a trust fund In his favor.

No effects belonging to the de
ceased bave been found, He was
well known In Alaska and in Seattle,
and Is believed to bave bad consid
erable property In the vicinity of
Sitka. One of the three surviving
brothers will probably go to Alaska
In tbe near future to look up the
estate.
Robert and. John Mark are well
known In this county, having lived
bere more than twenty-five years.
Their sister, Mrs. Ellen Knapp, Has
resided in Abilene and vicinity over
forty years. Another sister, Mrs.
Martha Head, lives in Las Vegas,
N. M.
Robert and John Mark, residents
of Garfield township, returned last
night from Seattle, where they were
summoned by a telegram stating that
their brother, William Mark, bad
been fatally shot December 23. They
had .accompanied the body to Lead
City, South Dakota, where a third
brother, James, resides, and where
the funeral was held Sunday, Jan. I.
Messrs. Mark stopped last night
at the borne of their sister, Mrs.
Ellen Knapp on West Fourth street.
They report that they were able to
secure but little new light on the
circumstances of the murder. Their
brother had lived In Alaska for sev
eral years, conducting a profitable
contracting and mining business. He
came down from Sitka to Seattle to
spend tin holidays, bringing a con
siderable sum of -money with him,
aa he Intended tckave some dental
work done.
On the night the shooting occurred
he had been invited out to dinner at
tbe heme of a friend. Shortly before
eleven o'clock he boarded a street
car to return to his hotel, his friend
accompanying him to the car. When
ke stepped off the car down town,
three men ran out at him, and one
at them ahot him. It la supposed
they had followed him and finding
-that be aad money on his person,
planned to rob him, A maa whom
the police believe to be one of the
three guilty parties Is now under
arrest at Seattle, but It Is doubtful
whether there la sufficient evidence

(From Tuesday's Dally J
The jury In the case of Hull Bros,
vs. Tolman, In which suit was brought
for commission on a land deal, found
a verdict for the plaintiffs, awarding
them Judgment in the sum of $500
and 344.75 interest. The defendant,
through bis attorneys Hurd & Hurd,
filed a motion for a new trial,
Theo. Hasshagen, suing J. W. Noll
to recover $12.20, was given Judg
ment for that amount.
Tbe suit of C. S. Miller versus
Levi Taylor, which occupied the
greater part of today's sessions, went
to the jury this afternoon. This Is
a case In which the plaintiff, a Brown
county real estate agent, ia suing for
his commission for closing a land
deal In which the defendant is said
to have entered Into a contract of
sale, but in which no deed was given.
Hurd ft Hurd represent the plaintiff
and 8. S. Smith tbe defendant. No
verdict had been brought at tbe hour
of going to press.
The case of A. L. Adams versus
N. W. Smith and Alice E. Smith to
recover money to the amount of
$ 1 6H0 was being tried at tbe hour
of going to press.
. MILLER IS CONVICTED.
Guilty of Manslaughter la Fourth
Decree the Verdict.
nrrom Wodnudar'i Delly.1
Late last evening tbe Jury in the
Todd Miller case brought in a ver
dict of manslaughter in the third
degree, the penalty for which is six
months in the county jail or three
years In tbe penitentiary. Tbe Judge
will probably pass sentence this week.
U Following are the members of tbe
Jury before whom the case was tried:
W. W. Herr, Abilene, foreman, Henry.
Rut, Carlton; W. Stark, . .Patrick
Ryan, Cnapman; J. 7. Koby, Abilene;
T. O. Kauffman, Abilene; C. F. Moore

W. O. Martin, Herington; B. M.
Johnson, Abilene; J. A. Bushey, Abi
lene; Dave Dobson, Abilene.
8. 8. Smith, attorney for tbe de
fendant, has filed a motion for' a
new trial, but it Is probable that tbe
present verdict will be final.
The Jury In the case of George B.
Slas and Fred Homan of Solomon-,
charged with illegal sale of intoxi
cating liquors returned a verdict of
guilty of maintaining a nuisance.
The greater part of today has been
occupied with tbe taking testimony
in the case of the state vs. William
Dunlap, charged with assault with
Intent to kill. The evidence showed
that Dunlap had got Into an alterca
tion with Royal Tyler, a young man
who lives with his parents near Dun
lap's home on North Fifth street, be
cause Tyler had forbidden Dunlap's
grandson, Willie Phillips, to play
in the alley back of the Tyler barn.
Defendant regarded Tyler's action as
malicious, while Tyler explains it on
the ground that be feared tbe child
would be injured by the horses in
the barn. Sunday afternoon April
10th, when the trouble occurred, wit
nesses said the defendant brandished
a heavy Iron bar at Tyler, who, he
claims, bad seized a monkey Wrench.
Tyler afterwards seized a neck-yoke
from a wagon standing nearby, ana
there is a disagreement In the testl
money as to which struck first. It
Is admitted that Dunlap struck Tyler
on the head with the Iron bar, In
flicting a pain'ul injury. 7 be de
fendant also admitted on the nta-id
that he bad previously threatened to
snllt Tsfler's head open with an' aso
If the latter came upon his promises.

". J- 'Balance; ' y-
From Tuesday's Dally.1
The case of David Todd Miller,
charged With the murder of his fath
er last January, went to the Jury at
11:30 thla morning. Several new
witnesses were put on the stand, but
very little new evidence was Intro
duced. The prosecution based Its
plea for conviction on the claim that
Todd attacked his father first and
then beat him to death. Tbe defense
relied largely upon the testimony of
the mother, who said on the stand
that when the father followed the
boy out of the house he told her
tbat It wouldn't take him long to
finish tbe boy and tbat she would be
next
Tbe afternoon session of the court
was devoted to the trial of J. B.
Slas and Fred Homan, charged with
illegal sale of intoxicating liquors.
A number of witnesses testified that

had become more or less Intoxicated
by It. They said it cost them It
cents per quart. '
One of the witnesses, George Craig
of Solomon, on cross examination by
C. S. Crawford, attorney for the de
fense, said that he had absorbed
about five quarts of the "cider" be
tween 8 and 6:30 p. m. on Novem
