Atkinson President. Jacob Switzer Vice-President. F. P. Atkinson Cashier, W. W. Miller Asslstan Cashier. “Speaking of bank robberies, the most remarkable case 1 have ever known was in a small Texas town near the Mexican .line,\ said an old reporter, “ and the man who figured in it was an old schoolmate of mine. He was a good fellow and had worked bis way up to the position of cashier. It was in one of the more prosperous Texas towns and the bank was doing an immense business on accountof tho adjacency to some of (he large cLltle ranches. The bank was under the superyision . o f the federal gov ernment, and the inspectors had been around at intervals and had always found the institution in a flourishing condition, and with the accounts of the cashier in good order. But it was all a trick in bookkeeping, yet one of those tricks which frequently fool the examiners. The fact- was that the cashier had been carrying on a system of peculation for four or five years aud was hopelessly in the hole. One day the examiner dropped in and went over tho books, counted the cash on hand, checked up the bills receivable and all that sort of thing, and found everything on tho square apparently. But the cashier was feeling a little worried. He thought the examiner had a suspicious look. The examiner left for somelittlo town □ear by. The next evening thé cashihr happened to be near the depot when the train came' in. He saw the examiner get off. Ho knew this meant something. He told his wife about the whole thing; told her he was hopelessly in the hole, that he was nearly $ 1 , 000,000 short and he would have -to leave. But before going he visited the bank and opened the vaults, and when he got through he had $300,000 or $400,000 in his his trunk. He loft for Mexico. There was no treaty at the time covering the offense of embezzlement, and he knew besides that he could protect himself at all hazards. The examiner went around to the bank the next morning, thinking he would surprise the cashier. The cashier had switched the tables. The vaults were empty. I think the ex aminer foond, all told, $1.85 in the bank. The cashier had the balance and was out o f reach. Guilty con science had quickened the cashier’s sense of danger and be escaped just in time to miss the penitentiary. He was finally located in Mexico, and an officer from Texas arrested him, but the Mexican authorities would not give the officer a place to imprison the fugitive, and I suppose he is still across the border, prospering on the money he pilfered.” northwest have been shipped there, for eastern Canada consumption or n shipment to British markets. This year, however, the American markets are paying the better prices and so great is the difference that many of the Ganadian cattle are being sent to Montana and shipped east. In other years there has been some of this.trade, but never so much as at this early date in the shipping season. ascribes his daughter’s condition the solution which he prepared. to Record B e e f Prices. Wednesday of last woek was a record day for range cattle in the Chicago market, and native ateors also reached the highest figure since 1882. Among the sales of range beef were: Conrad-Price Cattle company, 18 head averaging 1282 pounds, at $7.15, Hirsh berg- Brothers Bankers, Choteau, Montana. Duty on Cattle From Canada. 3 For the present month to date, Collector of Customs Charles 5 . Webster has collected in customs on cattle shipped from Canada to Mon tana over $ 2 , 000 , which is the best record in the history o f the office. The natural market for Canadian cattle is Montreal, and in other years the best beeves raised in the Canadian W c solicit accounts and offer to the public the most liberal treat ment consistent with safe banking. Club C a fe OLIVER HEAD, Prop. THE LONE TUEE. A MEMOKY OP THE PAST. Cattlemen are of tho opinion that the American \markets will remain up for the entire seuson and, this being the case, Die government will reap a large the customs duty col- iucrease in the customs duty lected at that port. The duty on Canadian cattle is $11 on four year olds and $G on three year olds. Notwithstanding this tar iff, the growers in that part of tho continent can mako a handsome profit by coming this aide of the line and shipping. Is Turning: To Marble. Miss Dorothy Stiles, daughter of a retired chemist, formerly of Colum- buB, O., but now living seven miles from Bay City, is gradually turning to marble or a substance rosembliog it. Her father is nearly frenzied, as he believes he is in part responsible for her present condition, which must soon result in death. The young woman had been troubled with a stiffness in her legs for several days, when she discovered that portions of her heels were hurd as stone almost snow white. Screaming in fright, she ran to her parents, who made the discovery that not only her heels, but her shoulder blades aud cheek bones were in the same condition. Since that time the affection has spread until now the victim can only movo her head slight ly- She suffers no pain. The father says that he left some chemicals with which he was experimenting in tho bath, where the girl bathed, and he the highest price ever paid for u ship ment from tho range country. Thirty- two head, averaging 1430 pounds, sold at £7.00, o r $100.10 per head. On the same day tho Bear Paw pool marketed about twelve loads that sold at $0.25 straight through; Geo. Barrows sold 78 head at $0.30, and Robt. Coburn secured $0.25 for 44 head that averaged 1497 pouuds. The latter brought $03.81 per head. A 1520 lb, steer owned by Wm. Hays brought $7.25, o r$110.20 gross. The offerings of native beef cattle on Wednesday included a shipment that sold at $8.90, tho highest in twenty years. The record for this clasB of stuff is $9.30 paid in 1882. ‘Stlm ” Goes T o Cincinnati.
