MAY DEFAULT ON JUNE INTEREST.
South Dakota Likely to Be Straitened
for Money.
A Pierre, S. D., special, dated yesterday,
says: The attorney general has brought
suit on the bond of Treasurer Taylor. It
is understood that the bond will be con-
tested. Ex-Gov. Millette, who justified for
$50,000, wires that he will be here, and will
straighten the shortage. It is said his
property, however, is only 10 per cent of
the defalcation. The state officials do not
place much reliance in it.
It is believed Taylor is hiding in the east.
It is known that he had when he left
here fully a quarter of a million in cash,
and he could have drawn in New York
one hundred thousand more. It is believed
that he has certain confederates here, who
are keeping him advised of the proceed-
ings. A strong attempt is being made
here to throw doubt on the validity of the
bonds, and it is suspected that the plan is
to force the state into a compromise with
the bondsmen for a moderate sum, and
then, when a settlement is completed and
Taylor is promised immunity, he will make
good the losses of his bondsmen.
All sorts of rumors have been set afloat
here by Taylor's friends to prevent rigid
prosecution. It is said that the shortage
was due to the liberality with which he
supported various banks during the panic,
and received notes on which he has real-
ized nothing. The state officials are mak-
ing strenuous efforts to raise sufficient
cash to keep the various state institutions
running, and a peremptory call for taxes
is expected to produce enough to tide over
the difficulty for some time, but the state
auditor feels positive that South Dakota
must default on the bond interest due in
June. Meanwhile effort is being made to
apprehend Taylor.
A special from Redfield, S. D., says:
Bank Examiner Zimmerman is busy at the
books of the First National Bank. He says
it will take a week to learn the exact
status of the business. The general opinion
is favorable to allowing the bank to reor-
ganize and reopen for business. Rumors
have been rife here today that Taylor had
accomplices with him here to facilitate his
work. If he went to New York, it is sur-
mised that he may have sailed for some
unknown port. He has a brother-in-law
who commands a ship sailing from that
city.
The Northwestern Mortgage Trust Com-
pany, of which Taylor was president, is
certainly defunct.
Chicago Detectives on the Trail.
Five of the shrewdest detectives in Chi-
cago were last night started on a trail giv-
ing fair promise of leading to the hiding
place, probably in Chicago, of the abscond-
ing ex-treasurer of South Dakota. News
of the development that prompted this
action was flashed to Redfield, S. D., where
Taylor lived, and while detectives were en-
deavoring to find Taylor in Chicago detect-
ives in Redfield were trying to unearth the
story of the circumstances that caused one
C. H. Vinton of that city to write the fu-
gitive at Chicago, under date of December
28: "I presume when we default in New
York on January 1 in coupons we will get
wires, and the devil will be to pay about
January 3."
Dispatches received in Chicago late last
night from Reafield about "a conspiracy"
makes this at least interesting, say the de-
tectives who have the matter in charge.
The papers were brought into police
heaquarters yesterday afternoon by a man
who remarked: "This may help you to
bring the criminals to justice."
The man disappeared so quickly that the
police were not able to track him, and
nothing is known of his identity.
Detective Rafferty was sent to look up
some of the people whose names were left
by the stranger. He went first to the Re-
vere House, as Vinton's letter to Taylor
was directed there. "Any mail for W. W.
Taylor of Dakota?" Rafferty asked of
Clerk H. M. Lawson.
Mr. Lawson knew who Rafferty was, and
he answered: "Why, one of your men
called here for Mr. Taylor's mail this after-
noon, and took a large envelope to Mr.
Taylor, who, I understood, had been taken
into custody."
"Describe the man who got the letter,"
said Rafferty.
Clerk Lawson described the mysterious
man who came into police headquarters
like a shadow.
The police are following the case closely.
