United States District Attorney
Purcell returned the latter part of
last week from Madison, Dakota,
where he together with an U. S.
bank official, closed up the National
Bank of Madison, the officers having
undertaken to deceive the U. S. Of
licials. The bank was found to be
in rotten shape, and Mr.. Purcell
says it was a caution to tlieving
bank officials to see the U. s. official
go through their books and instantly
point out the attempted deception.
A receiver will soon be appointed
and the affairs of the bank wound
up. Mr.. Purcell says the admins
tration is after the rotten national
banks, and will see to it that all
public servants do their duty in
trying to save the public from swim
dies of this character.
Our friend Wilford Parcher, farm
ing a few miles south of the city,
hitched his team at a neighbor's
house last week and stepping inside
for few moments, the team broke
loose and running against a barbed
wire fence broke through it,leaving
the wagon box, and passing on
toward the barn ran round this a
time or two when the wagon tongue
dropped down and being driven into
the ground some two feet, the four
wheels of the wagon-which up to
this time had remained intact
was thrown squarely over the horses,
dropping in front of them, just as
Mr.. Parcher got hold of them and
succeeded in quieting them down.
And strange to say. while the wag-
on was nearly demolished the horses
were scarcely hurt, they being only
scrtched up a little as they went
through the fence. 1t was mirac
ulous escape for the horses.
