has crest OF lion and unicorn. If we're to
make crest for the Democratic party Of Chicago

and the unicorn, would put tiger and a coyote.

NEW YORK. Jan. 31.-The Lenox Hill
Bank has suspended payments. 1t is
controlled by the same parties who last
week bought the control of the Sixth
National Bank Of this city, which has
since been closed by the bank examiner.
The knowledge of the relation of the
two institutions caused run on the
bank which it was unable to meet.
The Clearing House Association yes
terday acted on the Sixth National and
decided to drop it from the association.
The Equitable Bank has also been
mentioned in connection with the other
two institutions. Its president makes

interest in the Equitable only, and the
bank is not affected"

dispose of the $685., 900 in bonds owned
by the Sixth National Bank as simply a
case Of highway robbery. President
Classen, after abstracting the bonds
from the safe deposit vault turned them
over to George II. Pell, broker Of I'M
savOry reputation, who attempted to dis
pose of them on the street, representing
them to be the property of his wife.
Mr.. COlsen, the cashier of the bank,
learning of the action Of Classen, mott
fed the clearing house and the bank ex-
aminer. The latter soon learned'enougb
to cause him to close the bank and call
on Classen for the return of the $500. 00O
in securities. BY his prompt action
he succeeded in getting back S2O1,-
600 of the bonds. In lieu or on
account of the rest of the distracted
bonds Classen handed the bank ex-
aminer checks for $685., 900. These
checks fell short of the market value Of
the distracted securities $4,000. The
checks are being protested

They Wanted the Assassin of Dudley MUIR
ply, But We're Disappointed.
WICHITA, Kan, Jan. 29.-Shortly be-
fore ten o'clock last night crowd of
masked men, numbering $50, called at
the Comanche County Jail and demanded
DIR. Stratum, the assassin of Dudley
Murphy. The crowd marched to within
100 yards of the Jail and sent commit
tee of three to the Jail to give the word
and ask what they wanted. They
were informed by deputy, who
stood at window made safe by iron
bars, who said that they could not
be admitted and any attempt to break
in would be promptly answered by firing
on the crowd from within. The COM
mittee reported and scarcely had they
finished when the mob started for the
Jail. The door to the sheriff's apart
ment went down before heavy beam
in the hands of half dozen men and as
many as could get in the room were soon
on the inside. The deputy then being
disarmed said the sheriff had left an
hour before with Stratum and they could
not find him. The crowd could not believe
it for committee had been watching
the Jail all day and night and Stratum
had not been seen to leave. They de-
handed admittance to the Jail, which
was given, and Stratum could not be
found. They were then forced to believe
that he had been taken away for safe
keeping. A squad was soon organized to

north, another went to Ashland on IL

fourth down in the Strip, thinking that
