Jesse Owen Of Elmire N. Y. who visited
Minot and Fargo in June 1889 and became
q director in the :st National Bank Of
Minot and as used as . reference with
his consent, finds his investments with
Mears both unfortunate and m0rti-
(fyine and would gladly get ou, of the hole
by any means possible to employ.
E.. Ashley Mears conducts his banks on
the same system As Ferdinand Ward did
the business Of Grant and Ward. who il
about to be liberated from Sing, Sing
Prison. having nearly served his time aud
learned the printers trade.
Mrs. Sarah E. Howe, who managed the
notorious Woman's Bank 'windle in Boston
and who scrvsd . term in prison. died .
pau per in Boston. the scene of her sper.
atoms. With these two examples before
