The MONEY OF THE ST. Adams BANKs-Tho

The MONEY OF THE ST. Adams BANKS Thu
Burlington Free Press says:
An item now going the rounds of the paper,
is calculated TO give the erroneous impression that
the 81. Adams banks have received from the Can.
pdan Government the full amount stolen from
them by the raiders. The f Ct is that the Banks
lost $4,000 taken by the raiders; of this 800
900 WAS recaptured, placed in the hsnds OF tbe
Canadian authorities and afterwards by Coursol
and Lamothe was handed back to the raider,
This the Canadian Government was legally bound
and agreed 70 restore. TIE amount appropriated
by the Canadian Parliament for this purpose was
$4,000 in coin. At the time of its approprs.
ton, in January last, gold was worth 230 but
payment was delayed till the S.h day Of April fol-
lowing, when gold had declined so that the banks
were not able 10 reaizs over 100 from their saes
The consequence was that the st. Adams Bank
received only about $4,000 in currency the
First National Bank received 1927 600 in curren-
cy, and the Franklin County Bank received $780,
900, Of It's own stolen bills, purchased and re
turned to that bank by an agent Of the Canadian
Government, appointed for that purpose. 1t is
currently reported that those bills were purchased
from the agent OF the raiders, at fifteen cents on
dollar"
Mr. Z. A. Sogles, in letter to the n. Y. Her.

WHOLESALE SEIZURE or LIQUOR. On
Wednesday afternoon Of last week all the liquor
stores, groceries, &c IN tails village we're visited,
withol. any invidiol' distinction, and the liquor
found therein seized and carried into the base
ment Of the Court House for safe keeping. The
spirits consregated in tia. basement embrace
black spirits, white spirits and grey spirits, and
are confined in some seventy barrels and sundry
ugs and demohns. Several ght attempt have
been made to "raiso the spirits" but up to the
present writing they have s,ubbornly refused to
come forth from that vastly deep, call their
friends never 50 loud. The seizure sand removals

some plTley1g, these officers broke gu, panel

the attaching officers guard with an axe, sedge

them, Deputy Sheriff Robinson, so badly injured
that he had to leave for surgeon 10 dre,s the
