MORE CONCERNING JULIAN o. AETIsD4LE.-
We noticed the arrest for the embezzlement
of $50, 900, of Julian o. Antisdale, by our
police force on Tuesday last. He decamped
from venangO County, Pennsylvanis,
where he had been concerned in bogus
banking operations. The following details
of the conduct of the institution, we clip
from the Oil City Mirror of last week:
Some four or five weeks ago company
signing themselves &C. Ames Co., rent
ed a room on the east side of the Creek, put
up sign and opened banking institution.
On the day of opening they commenced oP-
erations by paying out worthless bills
stamped with their signature, saying they
would redeem all bills thus stamped. This
of itself should have been sufficient ground
for strong suspicion of their integrity and
honesty of purpose, and many of our busi-
ness men were warned thereby. Thus
matters stood, the "Bank" in the mean
time receiving all the deposits that could
be scared up by runners and otherwise.
On last Saturday evening the "bankers"
having urgent and imperative business in
some other part Of the world, to US un-
known, skedaddled," !" "vamOOsed," and
made a mastery retreat" carrying with
them the money of the depositors. On
Monday morning, as the bank" was not
opened, the depositors became uneasy, and
| had the institution searched in the after
noon by the Deputy Sheriff. An empty
safe was found to occupy the room, and
note on the counter announcing that the
bank would be open at two o'clock P. N, on
| Monday At the present time (Tuesday)
no intelligence has been heard of these
precious "bankers," and the general sup
| position is that they are safe in Canada ere
this.
The following is partial list of losses
sustained by our citizens: Conrad Co.,
S5, ,OO0 Dr. Egbert, 81 900; Perry Tate,
5000, and Ann G. Fry, $3.50. The husband
of Mrs. Fry is in the army, and her son
lately enlisted and gave the money to his
mother for safe keeping, by whom it was
deposited with these swindling scoundrels.
There are rumOrs Of other deposits, amount
ing in the aggregate to $50, O,OOO' or S6O,OOO
but we think they are greatly exaggerated
1t seems strange TO us that persons would
entrust their money to a coming among Us
under suspicious circumstances, having no
reputation or reference in our community.

nv A, I5Oth o. N. G., the following resolu-
tions were adopted:
