Zim Dwiggins Sued For Big Sum.

Although Zim Dwiggins, the great ex-Napoleon of Finance finds himself impelled through necessity c r p eference to lie ou», or beg out or kick out, from paying a dozen or more years’ subscription bill, for his old home paper, trusted to him at his own request; and more than that the only paper in the whole country that had a good word to say for the ungrateful cuss when his big string of wild oat banks tumbled over like a row of 10 pins, about 10 years ago; yet as before said, he lives high and seems to cut a big swath out in Nebraska; and th ns be must have money, whatever s’ory be puts up when asked to pay bis honest debts. All of which is by way of iutreductior to the nt ws that Zim has just been made the defendant in a lawsuit for the tiny Napoleonic sum of $177,600. The suit is brouj ht in the Oook county circuit court, in Chicago, and is supposed to be a reminder of the old busted Columbia National Bank. Henry L. Glos is the plaintiff and be is a judgment oreditcr of Dwiggins. -He brings suit in attachment, and a search will be made for money supposed to be held in Chicago to Dwiggins’ ecoount The fact that this presumably prettv well informed creditor thinks that Dwiggins still has large property hidden away in Chicago, tends strongly to confirm th° impression that generally existed at the time, that he salted down a large lump of money justly b-longing to other people when his rotten row of banks fell to piece*. An ther confirmatory fact is the big talk some of bis under agents in Nebraska have indulged in of the big wealth still owned in Chicago by ' Dwiggins or some members cf his family.
