There was q further decline in stocks after

A Trust's Bunco Game.

from the Kansas City Times.
There is ground for belief that the whisky
trust has been playing an expensive aud inter-
esting bunco game with the public and with
its sh ,reholders. The eighty-one distiiling
plants controlled by the trust are capitalized
at about $4,000, 900. although their selling
value, according to experts. is not above 1900.
600. The shares issued by the trust we're listed
on the New York stock exchange under the rep
resen:ation that these eighty-one dstlleries were
owned by the trust. Itnowappears that five CT the
largest establishments have announced their
withdrawal from the trust because Of nom
payment of rental by the managers of the
combination. Either the whisky trust owns
these distilleries or it does not. In the former
case the alleged withdrawals can only be re-
garded as a trick to depress prices and frighten
out innocent shareholders; in the latter case
there has been false pretense as to the owner
ship of the properly, which would render the
stock fraudulent. Out of this peculiar situa-
ton should arise some exceedingly interesting
developments.

one, but wen the assets Of the American Ma

pronounced not good enough and the aid of
the associated banks was withheld.
The ominous sign appeared on the door this
morning and the crowd which had collected be-
came greatly excited. The McCagues tried to
reassure the depositors, telling them that every
account would be paid in full
At the Omaha Savings Bank the German Saw
lngs Bank, the American Savings Bank, the
Giobe Loan and Trust Company and other
institutions there was steady drain of deposits
all morning. Cash was paid out as soon as
called for and there was no apparent limit to it,
Toward noon the lines had dwlndled till they
appeared no larger than upon any day of BUSH

Taking Precautions mt Detroit.
DErRoiT, June 13.-For some time there has
been uneasy feeling in the banking atmosphere
Of this city occasioned by the numerous fail

occurred throughout the country
especially in the west. Although until
this morning there had not been a decided run
on any Of the savings banks Of Detroit, con-
siderable money has been Withdrawn In quiet
way. and to forestall any movement that might
result disastrously to them and as all act of
self-preservation the officers of these institu-
tions met last night and decided to require the
notice allowed by law in case Of unusual de-
mands.
This morning depositors were handed copies
OF the foregoing circular and told that their
deposits would be paid in full at the end Of the
specified time-sixty days. This seemed to
