A Large Bank at Joliet, ILL.,. and Two
Others in Michigan Succumb.

a
Others in Michigan succumb.
JOLIET, ILL.,, Nov. 30.-The Stone City
bank suspended today by reason of being
embarrassed by the shutting down Of the
Enterprise Company. The bank was
operated by H. Fish & Sons. and was
thought to be one of the soundest finan-
cial institutions in the state. The failure
is believed to he a heavy one. Trouble
began with the Enterprise Company con-
Tossing Judgment for $lS3, l25 and filing
trust deed to Mrs. C. A. Miller for $685. ,3l3
1t is estimated that nothing less than
$500, 600 will settle the firms affairs. The
failure of the Enterprise Company, 1t is
announced. is due TO dull. season. The
affairs Of the bank are so involved with
those of the company that it will take con-
siderable time to unravel the fangie.
Many business houses OF Joliet kept
accounts in the bank. The suspension
will result in great embarrassment to
them. The greatest sufferers, however,
vii be laboring men, as many employees
intrusted funds to the bank and now they
are out of employment and their money
involved.
1t is not believed, however. that the
banks condition is bevond resuscitation.
There is every prospect that its affairs will
be Strengthened out speedily. The de-
posits are from s4O0, 900 to $500 900. As for
the mill, it is not believed that there isany
possibility of its resumption. There was
tremendous excitement when the en-
ployes found themselves out OF employ
ment and when the news of the banks
suspension reached them riot was mar
rowly averted.

Mr. shsrpstein Calls Mr. Holt . Liar
and Pummels Him Besides.

and Pummels Him Besides.
TACOMA, Nov. 3O.-[Special. wv. g.
Sharpstein and K. s. Holt, two prominent
lawyers, came to blows few days ago and
as result many sensational versions of
the affair have been circulated. When the
truth about the encounter is known it
is reduced to a business transaction, fol-
lowed by fisticuffs aud partial reconcile
alton.
Mr.. Sharpstein and Mr.. Holt are inter-
ested as opposing attorneys in q lawsuit,
in which an appeal was to be taken from
the superior court. Mr.. Sharpstein's ver-
sion is that Mr.. Holt agreed in taking his
appeal to allow for exceptions to be
taken inside of twenty days. But when
Mr.. Sharpstein received his notice of
appeal secured by Mr.. Holt. he found
no provision for taxing EXCEPTIONS.
Mr.. Sharpstein was displeased. He
called Mr.. Hollis attention by telephone
to the omission. Mr.. Holt, upon denying
that he agreed to provide for the excep-
ton, was called q liar. Then both irate
lawyers started on q run, Mr.. Sharpstein
for the superior court and Mr.. Holt for
Mr.. Sharpstein's Office. The former was
successful in having the court rectify Mr..
Hollis error, and the latter was successful
in arriving at Mr.. Sharpstein's Office and
in convincing those in it that Mr.. Sharp
stein would either have to fight or apollo
gize.
In the meantime Mr.. Sharpstein re-
turned. Mr.. Holt confronted him. He
inquired il he understood the gentleman
correctly by telephone to the effect that
he, r. s. Holt, was liar. Mr.. Sharp
stein assured him that he understood him
correctly, whereupon Mr.. Holt struck at
Mr.. Sharpstein. Both lawyers are light
weights. physically. Mr.. Sharpstein is
probably the stronger, and while he
warded of Mr.. Holt's blows scientifically,
he did not assume the aggressive flrther
than to nearly knock Mr.. Holt down once
or twice.
Finally, after clinch, Mr.: sharpstein
floored Mr.. Holt and sat on his stomach.
Mr.. Holt was indignant. He finally
gained his feet and acknowledged that he
had never drawn an appeal without pro-
viding for exceptions. 1t appeared he
had not personally drawn the appeal in
question. Mr.. Sharpstein acknowledged
that he should not have used the language
that he did under any circumstances.
When Mr. Holt left it was with the under
standing that he and Mr.. Sharpstein
should hereafter do business at arms
length.
This statement of facts seems warranted
TO overcome the stories about the gentle
men having kicked each other and at
tempted other indignities. They. of
course, did not agree on all things re.
lating to the non-partisan bar nomina-
tions, but that had nothing directly to do
with the encounter.
