Rev. s. j. Fleming Goes Wrong.

LSpecialto THE HERALD-Examlner Dispatch. |
ROCKFORD, ILL.,, March 21.-Something of
sensation has been created here by re-
port that Rev. S. J. Fleming, of Monte
Vista, Cal, has been found guilty of de-
frauding creditor to the extent of $4,000.
Fleming is well known here, having mar
ried Miss Minnie Lyman, daughter of the
late N. E. Lyman, president of the Peoples
bank. Miss Lyman became acquainted
with Fleming while on visit to school
mate at Los Angeles. Fleming was quite
attentive and an engagement soon followed
which eliminated in an elaborate wedding
at the Lyman residence here. While Flem-
ing was visiting with the family, Mr..
Lyman died very suddenly of apoplexy.
The widow soon disposed of her property
and of late has been making her home in
California. Soon after the marriage of
Miss Lyman her friends here heard that
Fleming had had trouble in Pennsylvania
and that he was only recently divorced
fsom his wife in that state. For the sake
of the family, IL is said, the matter, which
was quite thoroughly ventilated in the
keystone state papers, was suppressed in
the local dailies. Mrs. Fleming's MANY
friends in this city sympathize with her in
her troubles heartily

Beaver Wants a Bank.

A bank would certainly pay and some
time ago certain of our citizens agitated
the establishment of a banking institution
in this city, even going so far as to obtain
the names of some of our leading citizens
who were willing to become stockholders in
the concern. For some reason, however,
the project failed to materialize and was
forgotten. Now comes other outside par
ties, at least two in number, each of whom
are talking of establishing banking insti-
tuition in our city. That such an institution
will pay in Beaver is beyond any cavil, but
why should we await the coming of monied
men from the outside to establish onea-

The Union Pacific Extension.

The Phoebe Record sets forth very cogent
reason why the Union Pacific extension to
Phoebe should not be abandoned. 1t says:
1t is generally, and with good reason, be-
lieyed that the extension of the Union Pa
ciic railway, when finished to this point,
will be pushed across the country south
west into California, either by going down
Meadow Valley wash from where the line
first enters it, to the Muddy river, thence
across the desert, or by building from here
via Bristol Pass, surveys being made on
both routes. With the terminus three
miles northeast of town, as now graded,
eighty-tve miles of the road will be within
this state. A further extension of fifteen
miles will run the line to the day mine,
where it is wanted, and will make full
100 miles of the road in the state.
Under the provision of the law of 1887,
which we approved by petition, subsidy
of $1,000 mile is to be granted to any
road which, within five years, builds and
operates not less than 100 miles of road in
this county. This is the fifth year, and
unless the railroad company rushes its
work somewhat it will miss this bonus,
which though small, will, if they extend
their road through, amounts to about six
hundred thousand dollars, or to a practical
exemption from taxation for several years,
as the law declares If the 100 miles is not
finished this year the county will derive
revenue from it in taxes TO a good round
sum.
The Record adds that w. S. Godbe, presi
dent of the Phoebe Consolidated Mining
company, has again gone to New York to
confer with the stockholders and bankers.
The company has more to gain by the build
ing and operation of the railroad to this
point than any one else here, and it is re-
ported that to hasten work on the enter
prise the mining company will guarantee
an output of ore for shipment sufficient to
justify the railroad company in pushing
their work to early completion. The bodies
of low grade ore now exposed in the Day
mine alone and the developments con-
stantly being made there, make this COM
paratively easy thing for the mining COM
pany to do.-Bedper Utonidn.
