THE NOGALES BANK FAILURE Fred Herrera Has Probably Been Appointed Receiver. Territorial Auditor Nichols returned yesterday morning from Nogales, where he went to look into the affairs of the suspended International bank, which closed its doors nearly two weeks ago. President John Dessart, of the bank, announced on the morning of the suspension that the bank would resume on the following Monday. At that time announcement was made that the bank would be opened on the next Monday. It was found impossible to make the necessary arrangements for/ resumption. When Judge Nichols arrived at No. gales he brought about a meeting of the officers of the bank and the creditors. It was decided to put the institution ito the hands of a receiver, and Fred. Herrera was agreed upon. His appointment was recommended by the territorial auditor to Judge Davis, and Judge Nichels said last night that he supposed the appointment was made yesterday.

ALMOST A MURDER.

Sequel of the Wrecking ot the Nogales Bank.

As a result of a hot word battle oyer the affairs of the International bank of Nogales, L. F. Swain and L. H. Rhuart, both officers of that institution who are confined in jail on the charge of embezzlement, engaged in a personal encounter one day last week, and Swain had strangled Rhuart almost to death before the men were separated by John Dessart, president of the bank and likewise in jail.

The jailor rushed between the antagonists as soon as he could open the steel gate of the section in which the bankers were confined. Dessart did not interfere in the struggle until the jailor arrived. He had sided with Swain in the dispute over the affairs of the bank. It is said that Rhuart threatened to make startling revelations to add to the list of alleged scandals brought out by the investigation of the receiver, unless Swain made a statement absolving him from any blame for the wrecking of the bank.

Rhuart was not revived until several persons were called in. They worked over him for more than an hour and his condition is still serious. Dessart and Swain are now locked in separate cells. Sheriff Turner is contemplating moving his prisoners to another county if the feeling against them grows stronger.

But none of the considerations such as enumerated have counted with those who have struggled to control the municipal government of Nogales: the promised millenium has come, the town is "wide open", and good times will now proceed to return immediately to the line city. With exclusion of the women from the saloons prosperity deserted the place, trade languished, every body lost money and the International Bank collapsed. Now that the women have been restored to the saloons prosperity will straightway return, goods laying unsold upon the shelves of our merchants will go off like hot cakes, everybody will make money, and no doubt the receiver of the International Bank will shortly begin declaring dividends to depositors. Hurrah for the good times now so plainly in sight!

R. Allyn Lewis, one of the defendants charged with wrecking the International bank at Nogales and skinning the depositors to a fare-you-well, arrived from New York this week and was in Phoenix Monday. His trial will come up at Nogales next week.

President John Dassart of the defunct bank, became insane brooding over the fate of the bank. Dassart has the sympathy of his old-time friends, who believe that he was not responsible for the looting of the bank, which was a clean job, as only about $300 (Mex.) was found in the bank vault when the receiver got hold of the vault key.

Gen. Allyn R. Lewis Set Free.

R. Allyn Lewis and L. R. Rhuart have, in a measure, been cleared of any charges of a criminal nature in connection with the failure of the International bank at Nogales, and both are now free, says the Phoenix Gazette. Mr. Rhuart arrived in Phoenix Saturday morning and Mr. Lewis is now en route to New York City. Both have recovered judgments in civil proceedings brought against them by Receiver Fred Herrera of the defunct International bank.

The criminal charges were not considered by the grand jury of Santa Cruz county, that body having been dismissed on the day it was empaneled, owing to the fact that a case of smallpox had been discovered in the county jail, and it was feared to have prisoners thrown in contact with the officers of the court, making a possible spread of the plague likely. John Dessart is in the insane asylum and L. F. Swain is now in jail at Nogales, his bond having been withdrawn by his bondsmen.

Wants Deeds Cancelled.

Suit was brought in the district court yesterday (Monday) by Fred Herrera, receiver of the International Bank of Nogales, against R Allyn Lewis and his wife Laetitia Lewis. This object of this suit is to obtain satisfaction of a judgment which was granted the receiver against Lewis last summer in Santa Cruz county for $5,371.37 covering the amount alleged to be due from Lewis to the bank for money which he had withdrawn from that institution Executions were put in the hands of the sheriffs of Santa Cruz and Maricopa counties and both were returned unsatisfied, no property having been found in the name of the defendant.

The complaint filed Monday describes various parcels of property owned by Lewis in the Simms addition including his handsome residence as well as the old Frazier property and several other lots and parts of lots in the immediate neighborhood. The value of all this property is estimated in the complaint at $14,000.

It is also stated that there appears on the record in this county two transfers by Lewis to his wife covering all this property. This first was executed at Cologne, Germany, on August 25, 1903. The other was made at New York later.

It is alleged that these conveyances were executed with the intent of preventing the collection of the claim of the bank against Lewis and the court is asked to set them aside and make them of no effect as to the plaintiff-Republican.

GENERAL LEWIS IN TOWN

The Nogales Litigation Has Been Transferred to Pima County,

General R. Allyn Lewis of New York arrived in the city yesterday. He came to the territory this time on account of the litigation pending at Nogales growing out of the affairs of the late International Bank. He took a change of venue, and the cases were sent to Pima county, where they will be tried at the next term of court. Genera Lewis was accompanied to the city by his attorneys, Street & Alexander, who also acted on the part of the county of Santa Cruz and established a lien on the property of the bank in the hands of Receiver Fred Herrera to secure the money of the county which was in the bank at the time of the failure.

General Lewis was in New York at the time of the excitement on account of the attack upon Amalgamated Copper and the beginning of the controversy between Col. W. C. Greene and Thomas W. Lawson. For several years Mr. Lewis has been more or less intimately associated with Col. Greene in the affairs of Greene Consolidated, and at one time was a heavy holder of that stock.

Judge Kent's Decision in the Local Option Case.

Judge Kent yesterday decided the case of the territory against B. F. Reakseker who had been indicted and tried for a violation of the local option law. The defendant was discharged and his bondsmen exonerated. This ending of the case had been forecasted since it had been shown that the election establishing the local option district was invalid. The court held that arbitrary lines could not be established. That the lines of the district must coincide with those of the precincts. As has been stated this had been decided by the supreme court of Texas from which state the law had been copied by the Arizona legislature. The law itself is held to be a good one though in the formation of this district an improper use was made of it.

The case of Fred Herrera, receiver of the international bank of Nogales, against R. Allyn Lewis was tried and

Lewis owned some real estate at Phoenix which he conveyed to his wife to save it from being levied upon. Fred Herrera, the bank receiver, contended that the transfer was illegal and his contention was upheld by Judge Kent, who set aside the transfer, thereby allowing the property to be levied upon. The property is worth between $15,000 and $16,000, and the suit was to recover $5,300. Attorneys F. S. Nave and Selim Franklin, of this city, represented the receiver.

QUITE A DIFFERENCE

Arizona has never had a bank defaulter in its history. The territory is somewhat behind the times in this respect. Ohio today has thirteen bank presidents in the penitentiary, but Arizona is not up to Beveridge's idea of "high civilization. -Phoenix Enterprise. How about the International Bank in Nogales? November 30th, 1903 the report filed with the territorial bank examiner presented resources aggregating two hundred and five thousand dollars, and deposits amounting to one hundred and fifty-five thousand dollars. Six weeks later-January 13ththe institution closed its doors, and the receiver could not find in the bank sufficient value to wad the traditional shot gun. Money, securities and everything but the safe and furniture gone. By aid of the courts he has succeeded in wresting some little property from those who had it. It is true, as says the enterprise, that Ohiosends her defaulting bank presidents to the penitentiary. Arizona don't. That's the difference.

EXECUTION RESISTED BY MRS

R. ALLYN LEWIS In the Case of the Suit by Receiver Herrera of International Bank. Suit was filed in district court yesterday by Laetitia M. Lewis against Fred Herrera, receiver of the International Bank of Nogales, and J. E. Walker, sheriff, to prevent the sale of certain property claimed by the defendant under a judgment rendered against her and her husband, R. Allyn Lewis, in favor of Herrera. The amount of the judgment was $5371. The property levied upon consists of the north twenty-five feet of lots 1 and 3 in block 75 of the city and lots 10 and 12 and the west twenty-five feet of lot 8 in block 16 and lots 3 and 4 in block 2 and lot 2 in block 1 of Simms' addition to the city of Phoenix. It is claimed by the plaintiff that all this has been separate property since August 25, long before the failure of the-International Bank, in which her husband was involved, and more than a year before the appointment of Herrera as receiver. Another reason why she thinks the injunction against the sale of the property should be ordered is that the matter has not yet been settled in the courts. When Herrera began trying to save something out of the wreck of the bank he took notice of the above described property and began suit for possession of it in the name of the bank. It was alleged in his complaint that the deed by which the property had been conveyed to Mrs. Lewis was fraudulent and he asked that the deeds be set aside. Herrera was granted judgment and Mrs. Lewis and her husband appealed ao the territorial supreme court, where the judgment of the lower court was affirmed. Thereupon an appeal was taken to the supreme court of the United States, where the matter is now pending. In view of this situation of <the case the injunction is asked for. The date set for the sale of the property is June 26.

AN ECHO OF THE

NOGALES BANK FAILURE

The Wife of R. Allyn Lewis Now Asks For an Injunction in the District Court

Application for injauction has been made in the district court by Loetitia M. Lewis against F. Herrera and J. Elliott Walker to prevent the execution of a judgment against property owned by Mrs. Lewis. The suit grows out of the International bank failure at Nogales a few years ago.

R. Allyn Lewis was an officer of the bank and in a civil action judgment was obtained against him by Herrera who is the receiver of the bank. The property in question rests in Mrs. Lewis' name but was deeded to her by Mr. Lewis and suit was brought to set aside the deed on the ground that it was made by him after the suit for judgment against him had been established by Herrera.

Herrera won the suit which was appealed to the supreme court, where the lower court was sustained. The matter is now under appeal to the United States supreme court, and the injunction was granted by Judge Sloan upon the filing of a supersedes bond by the applicant. The matter was argued before Judge Sloan, who sat in the case for Judge Kent. -Gazette.
