In the Oanebrakes.
The news that Gilbert L. Crowell, the
president Of the Empire mining company,
Of Utah, has failed, after sinking
his own money and over $664, 900 of money
held in trust Tor other people, startles
business circles in New York. He is very
well known by business men. for he was
cashier Of the Peoples bank for many
years. He founded and built the village
of Arlington, N. j., and the town win be
crippled by his collapse. There is not
much to be added to these facts. He was
considered most excellent business man
and had charge of various estates, the
most conspicuous of which was the Tall
of the bank some time ago to take the
pany. Into this concern he began to put
estates he was managing. The chief loser
by him is the Tallman estate, the heirs to
which are elderly women. Their losses
foot up five hundred and fifty thousand
dollars. DR.. J. Martin Sims losses six
thousand and various other persons
more to swell the sum to $664, 900. Of
this money $431, 900 were paid out in as
sessments on the Empire mine. This
property is represented to be entirely
wrecked.
Crowell has made general assignment
of what he has. His failure was first told
to the residents of Arlington, and it created
the greatest excitement. He was conspic-
uOus in all that made the town-its
churches, its schools, and its society geu.
erally-and he was generally beloved and
respected by all, and no one there has
aught to say against his integrity or his
character. It seems to have been q most
unfortunate venture all around, and the
case is not sufficiently developed to permit
of any accusations of fraud in the matter.
He invested trust estates in the mine,
which, under the power of attorney, he
seems to have had a perfect right to do.
Naked Murderers in the Canebrakes.
All of the convicts who killed MIR. Cant,
at Helena, Ark, and escaped the other
day are at large, excepting the five who
hiding in the woods and canebrakes almost
nude and exposed to every suffering.
They have thrown off their outer clothing
and are even barefooted. The hunt has
been continued since Saturday, day and

zen was armed and out at his post endeav-
oring to cut of the march of these despera-
does. They were thought to have taken
to the hills, and pursuers patrolled and
searched all day Sunday, but without
effect, except to learn that they we're
hiding in the hills and had invaded several
houses begging for food and drink. Final
escape is almost impossible, as nothing is
being left undone to secure them and rid
the country of such desperate characters.
A reward of $500 has been offered :Or Their
capture.
The convict who shot Mr.. Cant is q
white man named Mccarthy, his formei
crime also being murder. Mr.. Cant only
spoke once after the shooting. When
asked by the superintendent if he was
hurt he answered 81 am killed." His
wife was two miles distant. When hear
ing that her husband was shot she jumped
on horse, with mans saddle, the only
means near, and wading and swimming
deep water, she reached her husband only
to find him corpse. The scene was
pitiful. An old Irish soldier who witnessed
it said that he shed tears for the first tims
in twenty years.
