The examiner found the were bank the affairs of in a compromising condition and the government now steps in. The charge against the Jacobs Brothers is a very serious one.

They gave bonds for their appearance in the sum of $3,000 each. Gamble Brothers were retained by the defendants, while General H. J.

THE JACOBS CASE. Madison's National Bank Men in a Case at Sioux Falls. E. H. and S. W. Jacobs, of the Madison National bank, who were brought to Yankton last week by the government authorities under arrest, were litigants ID a recent case at Sioux Falls, of which the Argus-Leader says: Saturday announcement was made of the Jacob Brothers being in the city. Since then several other persons now connected with them in certain business affairs have arrived; among them Bank Receiver E.K. Lodewick of late Madison National bank, F. L. Soper of Madison, Jno. R. Gamble of Yankton, L. Hardesty of Mitchell, Wm. McGrath of Madison, and E. Stevenson of Illinois. This morning a number of cases in which the Jacobe are involved came up before Judge Carland. These are probably as important cases as were ever tried in this court. The attorneys for the creditors are Mesers. Hardesty, McGrath, Stevenson, Winsor & Kittridge. For the Jacobs Brothers, Messrs. Bailey, Davis, Gamble Brothers and Soper. The first case is: E. K. Lodewick rer ceiver of Madison National bank VS. E. e H. Jacobs and S. W, Jacobs and Ida E. 1 Jacobs and Erama M. Jacobs-an action against these parties as directors of the d bank, under the banking law, under the provisions making directors personally liable, claiming $41,853,87, and attachf ing all the property of all the defendants, d Case came up on a motion to dissolve the attachment. Upon hearing, the e court intimated the attachment would be dissolved. Mr. Winsor asked for e further time to present authority. which the court said he could do. , The second case was that of James B. d Lzear BB bank examiner VS. S. W. Jacobs , and Lakeside stock farm-damage claimed in the sum of $20,000.00 attachments B made of all the property of the Lakeside stock farm. Upon hearing, attachment was dissolved. A motion in the case of W. L. Elwood 'B VS. Lakeside stock farm-an order had been made upon S. W. Jacobs to make disclosure of the number of shares of e stock which he owned in Lakeside stock B farm. This motion was dissolved for irregularity. a Madison Sentinel: E. H. Jacobs real turned yesterday and S. W. Jacobs to. a day from Sionx Falls where important 18 law suits growing out of the bank diffiBr onlty were on trial. From a report of the trials taken from the Argus-Leader e, and published in another column, it n seems that Jacobs Bros., were eminently re right in their defense in the eyes of the 3e court and won a sweeping victory over d their prosecntors, B fact their friends here will gladly learn. The results e foreibly suggest that there are two sides 0to every case. ve

DAKOTA GLEANINGS. Wheat buyers at Aberdeen are offering to contract with farmers for their entire crop at 68 cents. Clark county farmers have nominated a county ticket and elected delegates to a legisiative convention. LaMoure county will try and collect the fax on grain shipped out by the elevators during the month of April. It amounts to about $700. A hail storm last Saturday did much damage to grain in the neighborhood of Sioux Falls, as well as breaking all the university windows. A young man named Oliver Babcock attempted suicide at Lakota last week by stabbing himself in the neck and breast with a jack-knife. Three thousand Indians were at Fort Bennett on the 25th, awaiting the arrival of the Indian commissioners. Their present disposition is not to sign. The Congregational church at New England City, Hettinger county, was dedicated last Sunday, Rev. D. A. Waldron, of Providence, .I., preaching the sermon. Lathrop Keyes, the missing Sioux Falls creamery man, has been heard from at Winaipeg. Dell Rapids parties seized the creamery on an attachment and are running it. The Farmers' Alliance of Dakota has purchased this year one-twelfth of all the binding twine sold in the United States. Its purchases for the territory amount to over $300,000. After a deadlock of several hours' duration the board of county commissioners of Ramsey county appointed Louis Larson county auditor under the previsions of the general law of the last legislature authorizing all counties to create that office. The contested election case of W. A. Kelly vs. James Kennedy, from Traill county, was up before Judge McConnell Wednesday afternoon on a motion to quash the proceedings. The motion was granted, and the plaintiff given ten days in which to file an amended complaint. E. H. and S. W. Jacoba, president and cashier of the Madison National bank, are in United States Marshal Maratta's custody at Yankton, charged with perjury and other crookedness. A receiver is in charge of the bank and the Jacobses await the grand jury's action. Hunter Eye: We are sorry to 800 that crops that were a few weeks ago looking splendid, are now very unpromising, and will probably not average over half or two thirds of a crop at best. This is discouraging not only to the farmers but to every one interested in the welfare of the country. Squiers says the managers of the Minnesota & Dakota railroad are waiting to see what will be the fate of the Mills tariff bill before they begin active operations. If that bill passes congress it will reduce the cost of their iron about $100,000 and they have decided not to purchase until congress acts upon the bill. The Webster Herald, which is not far from a reservation, says it is not uncommon to see a Sioux come into that town invested with a boiled shirt, a plug hat and a wistful smile. The young bucks play base ball, the girls chew gum, and when the government supplies them with top buggies they will be too much civilized to serve as aboriginal curiosities. F. J. Thompson in Fargo Republican: Returned from Hope this noon; was royally entertained at that place by the Masonic brethren. I constituted the lodge at that place. Rode over the country from Hope to Buffalo yesterday. Crops are looking finely everywhere. Was pleased with everything but the miserable railroad connections at Casselton. It would bring a large trade to Fargo could better facilities be attained for getting back and forth. If it CAN be done the merchants of Fargo would find a material increase in sales. Wheatland Eagle: The farmers south of Erie and north of Ripon, realizing the necessity of a nearer market for their wheat, some time ago asked the Manitoba folks to put in a side track midway between Ripon and Erie, and the road granted the request provided the farmers would grade the track, consequently they all turned out with their teams last week and did the grading, and now all that is to be done is to put down the ties and rails, which the company say they have ready and will have them laid before harvest.

the South Dakota Fair association, north of Yankton. The track is to be put in excellent condition and accommodations for a large concourse of visitors will be provided. Wells Bros., a dry goods firm at Mitchell, were closed Friday by the First National bank on a chattel mortgage for $6,800. Arrangements are expected to be made to continue in business. Crops in Sanborn county are looking good, but need rain and need it bad. In the northwest part of Sanborn the crops are not SO good, while west clear to Buffalo county the crops are better than ever. It shows the shortness of the wheat straw in Beadle county to know that one Huron firm sent out ten headers in one day. Most of the wheat and oats straw is short, although the grain is quite good. The Vermillion cornet band has challenged Elk Point for a game of base ball and a relay race. If Elk Point accepts the boys will give a concert in the evening at that place. Angust 3 is the designated time. A 15-year-old son of Ingwald Grove, a farmer living near Carthage, was helping to drive some wild ponies to town last Saturday when they became frightened and turned back. A long picket rope attached to one of the ponies caught around the boy's ankle and he was dragged to death. The Northwestern Railroad company has just begun extensive repairs on the interior of its round-house in Yankton. Seyeral carloads of Mankato, Minn., stone have recently been brought in, and a new floor and new plts are to be constructed of that material in the round-house. A drive well is being made in the stock yards. G.F. Balch, a switchman at Fargo, kept a hotel at Macon, Mo., cleven years ago. and during his absence one day a boarder took a team of horses and Balch's 9-year-old daughter. and he has heard nothing of them until a few days ago, when he learned that his daughter was in San Antonio, Tex. He will at once send for her. A Sioux Fall special puts it strong when it savs: The failure of the Madison National bank was caused by a t gigantic steal and each day brings new e and startling developments of the modus operandi of running the instituticn. It appears that hundreds of notes aggregating thousands of dollars have been discovered signed by unknown persons. The largest part of the money has gone into the Lakeside stock farm, owned by the Jacobs. The personal liabilities of E. H., F. W., Ida d and Emma Jacobs as directors, amount to $60,000.
