GONE WITH THE BOOTY.

Crookcdness Alleged In the Failure of the
Standiford Bros Bank at Chrisman,
Il.-The Financicrs Are Missing After
Securing the Ready Cash of Depositors,
Amounting in All to Between S15O,OOO
and $3oO,OOo.
CHR1sMAN, ILL.,, Oct 3.-This little
town is still in Juror of excitement
over the absconding of the Standiford
brothers, bankers. Nothing else is
talked about. 1t is now thought the
brothers are ahead all the way from
S150,OOO to s3oO,oOo. The coun-
ty will offer reward of $500 for the
losers by the bank failure will add a
like amount if they can scrape to-
gether that sum from their depleted
exchequers.
The Stanifords treated friend and foe
alike in their fleeing game. They
spared neither the rich nor the poor, the
old or young, and among the victims
are the rich farmer, hard working ten
ant, school-tcacher, servant girl, widow
and orphan. 1t is a severe blow to
Chrisman, and it will be years before
the town will recover from it. In July
last the west side of the square
was swept by fire and the
work of rebuilding has been going
on for several weeks. The major
part of the insurance money in the
burned property was placed in the
Standifords' bank, and now that it is
gone the work on the buildings will be
stopped. Among the heaviest losers
are: Samuel Kenton, $40. 900; John Car
away. $4,000; Mel Metheny, 500
Peter Williams. 5000; William Mussel-
man, S., 900: f. Thomas, $4,000; j. w.
Elder, $1,000; Cy Lewis, $4,000, and
Jesse Lowther, $4,000. There is long
list of those who have lost sums rang
ing from 500 to s., ZOO. w. F. Gilkey,
the druggist, loses $4,000, mostly in
papers.
The Standifords stood high in the
community and the greatest confidence
was placed in them and their business
ability. The sixteen years they have
been engaged in business here gave
them an extensive acquaintance with
the prosperous farmers for miles
around and enabled them to reap
harvest. The people here do not be.
lieve the bankers lost anything by
speculating on the Chicago board OF
trade, but think they have left the
country with not less than $780, 900,
and possibly twice that amount

Great Fields Of Grain in the Northwest
Going to Waste-Farmcrs Sustain Heavy
Losses-Unable to Thrash Their Wheat
Through . Lack Of Machines and Help


Going to Waste-Farmers Sustain Heavy
Losses-Unable to Thrash Their Wheat
Through . Lack Of Machines snd Help
and a Furious and Continuous Rainfall
JAMESTOWN, N. D., Oct 3.-An over
North Dakota there is disappointment
to-day. The big crops are lying in the
fields about as they were tossed from
the binders. Rain has been pouring
steadily on the unprotected crop all
night and all day. 1t is drizzly, wet
rain that soaks everything and gives
no promise of abatement. Forty-fve
or fifty millions of bushels of wheat
are out in the wet shocks, and there is
no telling when they will be
thrashed. Never in the history
of the state has the crop been
SO large, and never was its Sc
curity so jeopardized as now. 1t
has been raining more or less for
week past But one full days thrash
ing has been done in seven days and
the prospects now are for several days
more of enforced idleness. There has
been little stacking done anywhere.
The crop seems to nave been too big
for farmers to touch, except to wait to
put it through the separator as soon as
possible. Machine owners are behind
from ten days to month in their dates.
The price for thrashing is advancing
and from the usual rate here of II
cents a bushel it has gone up to Is cents
in the Red River valley. Out
fits are making from $50 to $3.50 day
and not half enough machines can be
had. Railroads are offering reduced
rates and free transportation to men
with thrashing outfits. There is also
great fear of the wheat sprouting be-
fore it can dry. Even with the greatest
good luck there will be a large amount
of wheat land in North Dakota not
ready for next years crop. Spring
blowing in this country is of
little use. The ground must be
plowed in the fall. The outlook in
this respect is very bad, and will result
in decreased acreage next year with
out an extraordinarily open winter.
The winter generally closes in from
the 7th to the 10th of November and
ground freezes too stiff to plow. There
are now scarcely thirty days in which
to thrash the big crop now unprotected
on farms and to do the fall blowing.
Snow will undoubtedly cover the
shocks of grain in many wheatfelds
of the state before the wheat can
be thrashed. The scarcity of good
stackers and farm help is given
as one reason for not stacking, but the
truth is farmers have been trusting to
good weather, promises of thrashers
and good luck, and have but little in
clinatioh to put their grain in stacks.
All seem to be anxious to get few
dollars now. The greater benefits of
the future are left to take care of them
selves. The wheat receipts will dimin-
ish perceptibly owing to delays in
thrashing. 1t is indeed a serious con-
dition that confronts the people, and a
vast amount of wealth lies on the open
prairies exposed to the greatest loss
and deterioration.
HALLocK, Mimi, Oct. 3.-Thrashing
crews and machines are standing idle
all over the Red River valley. Nothing
whatever has been done since Monday.
