MORE BOGUS BONDS FOUND.

Frauds of Z. T. Lewis Amount to More Than SIOO.OOO. Urbana, 0., July 10.—More speculations of Z.- T. Lewis, the bond broker, continue to come to light hourly. E. B. Hutchison of Indianapolis has turned up SII,OOO more of forged bonds. They are Tippecanoe city school bonds. The 120,000 of these bonds held by the German National bank of Cincinnati are declared to be bogus. A Springfield bank has $12,000 more. The total amount of fraudulent bonds so far k nown to have been hypothecated by Lewis aggregates over SIOO,OOO and may reach double t' at amount. The fugitive broker left here Monday and it is an established fact that he first went to Michigan, where his family is spending the summer. From there he went to South America to get beyond reach of the law, but there is no clew to his route.
