took the task upon themselves Of enjoin-
ing the enterprising co It actors. All
day Sunday the carpenters we're busy
erecting the stand and completed it at
shutdown. Mondays dawn, howt ver'
found their work RACED to the ground.
A cyclone of indignation coupled with
little physical force accomplished the de-
sired end. The fact was called to the
attention Of Mayor Wright, and he was
indignant asserting that the maintenance
of a dump at that point could be often:
siye to no one. He said he would call
the councils attention to the matter.
Perhaps if the Mayor had the fumes of
every alley rolling up under his olfactory
O. CANS he would also enter protest and
it the same was unheeded, he would,
unless the ally atmosphere is congenial,
apate the nuisance without further ado.

Assistant Cashier Hawkes., of the
Seven Corners Bank, was arrested Mon
day on the charge of embezzling $4,000.
President Banjo zar swore out the COM
plant upon which the warrant was is
sued The accused has many influential
in the city. The necessary
bail bond was at once secured and great
efforts are being made to yindicate the
culprit. It is claimed that the enorno-
GUS sums that from time to time slid
into the capacious pockets of Mr.. Hawkes.
and his cousinly compatriot, Cashier
Evans, were simply borrowed from the
bank. The defense offered by Mr Hawks
is peculiar. Like the boy
who stole the apples he says S'the other
fell, .ws did the same thing-the other
officers took money from the bank and
left their notes in it's place." Regardless
of whether Messrs. Hawkes. and Evars
are in the eyes of the law guilty of the
crime of stealing, an examination of the
books of the bank makes it plain that
they have been justly condemned by the
entire community. Wildcat schemes were
Matched and fake corporations formed
for the purpose of legalizing the appro-
priations of these men. Mere boys,
without backing, brains or business were
permitted to take thousands of dollars
Of the depositors' money. There is no
use in trying to varnieh che truth. The
of this bank have been
swindled II. the rsnkest kind of manner
by the officers in Immediate charge. It
is not expected that the deposltors will
lose money as the stockholders are
liable on reassessment of their stock.
1t is proper that the loss should fall
upon the stockholders for they have
been shamefully remiss in permitting
the bank to be run in such slip-shod
fashion and finally wrecked by sanoti-
monious swindlers.
On Wednesday evening at $50 o'clock
r general alarm of fire was sounded, oc-
casioued by the fire in Dyer & Bros.
music store on Third street. In an in
slant our efficient fire department was
at the scene and battling with the
flames. The heat was intense and owing
to the peculiar structure it was exceed
ingly difficult to get at the heart of the
great fire. But the brave fire laddies
never daunted, found a way and hoisted
\ ladder from the rear of the building,
thus enabling them to reach the seat of
he fire. Three men, hose in hand, as
,ended the ladder to the third story and
ought with the raging flames. The
1eat was intense and the volumes of
smoke and fumes arising from the burn
