WANT VIGOROUS PROSECUTION.

Creditors of the Bank of Remington Haig Additional Attorneys. A petition signed by quite a number of the large creditors of the failed Parker bank at Remington was presented to Judge Hanley at Kentland Monday asking that additional counsel be employed to assist in the prosecution of the cases against Mr. Parker. The Judge took the petition and informed the committee that he would send it to the oounty auditor of Jasper county, as it will be necessary to call the county council to make an appropriation. We are told that the creditors want Dan Sims of Lafayette employed if he does not come too high, and in conversation with one of the leading petitioners a few days ago he expressed the opinion that they did not want any big sum appropriated like was done in the McCoy cases where >I,OOO was first 1 appropriated and then several hundred dollars in extras also run in. He thought >2OO or >3OO was sufficient. No action in the matter has been taken here as yet to call the council together and will, not be until the judge recommends it, which he will probably do later on.
