The Northwestern National Bank of
Minneapolis, Mimi, has been robbed of
S135, 900 by w. w. Keene, Assistant
Cashier, during the absence of the
Cashier in Europe. The money was
lost in stock speculations, and
the Bank officers attention was first
directed to the deficit by the National
Bank Examiner. The Bank is consid-
ed a strong one, and it is expected will
pull through all right. 1t is almost
needless to add that Keene was consid-
cred a young man of good habits and
irreprOachable character.

up to few days ago had very poor luck
Up TO that time one bear had been killed,
and Scott was 50 mad about their Ill luck
that he had guawed OF nearly all the alder
brush IN that locality. When Mr. wiIhoit
passed there he saw two or three fresh deer
hides, 50 they are probably not now in a
starving condition
The Payne-Brown party were eamped at
WIIhoit's. and had all grown muscular and
robust from the exercise they had with that
balky horse. He baked and bueked on
every grade between here and the Mountain
House, and at one time kicked himself clear
Of the wagon and rolled down the grade.
The party Is having splendid hunting; in fact
there isn't better hunting ground on the
