this afternoon Capt. Llewellyn, of the
city police force, walked into Room "a

Chief of Police Stanley received tele-
gram from Minneapolis to keep an eye
on Bradbury until representative

Hatch appeared on the scene. 1t was
then learned that Bradbury had secured
$1,000 of Mrs. Louisa Lewis, a widow living
in Minneapolis, for shares in a stock
company that promised excellent re-
turns. 1t is further alleged that, on i'll
vestigation, Bradbury had misrepre-
sented the facts. This occurred several
months ago, but no settlement could be
effected. Bradbury refused to be ar
rested on a telegram or the statements
of Mr.. Hatch, so the latter went before
Justice Foley and swore out the com
plaint charging Bradbury with grand
larceny. Hatch says if Bradbury will
pay back the money and interest and
expenses incurred he Will drop the mat
ter. Bradbury is well known in this
city as stock broker, and has offices
in the BalIon block. The arrest was
surprise to Bradbury'S many friends.

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-A number of let
ters from country bankers located in
Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and In
diana, have been received on the fin
ancial condition as it affects the farmers.
country merchants, manufacturers, etc.
The banks were asked these questions:
l. Are your merchants and manufactur-
ers meeting obligations promptly?
2. Are you investing at all in outside com.
mercial paper?
3. If not. is it due to home demands or a
disposition to hold larger reserve than
usual pending the outcome of the recent
financial furry?
4. Are farmers in your section large bor-
rowers?
The replies are almost of the same
tenor. and are to the effect that mer-
chants and manufacturers are meeting
their obligations fully as promptly as
usual: that while the bankers are in
vesting in outside paper they are hold
ing larger reserves of cash than usual.
in view of the financial stringency. and
that, Notwithstanding the talk about
farm mortgages the fact is that the
farmers borrow only small portion of
the money loaned by the banks. One
banking firm notes that of s2,25O. .OOC
loaned by it only 100000 has gone to
the farmers.
