Small Depositors Get Scared and
Rush For Their Money.

Denver, Col, July 1S,-No such scene
was ever witnessed in all the west as
could be seen here this morning shortly
after 10 o'clock when the banks were
supposed to open their doors for business
The failure of three savings banks yes
terduy had affected the masses as
the smell of blood would wolves,
and at the hour Of opening
the streets were'crowded with anxious de-
pOsitOrs. The eleven clearing house
banks located within four blocks of each
other were surrounded, and far into the
streets crowds gathered, until officers and
special police were called out to clear
a way for traffic.
THREE CLOSED THEIR DOORS.
At 10 o'clock the Union National, with
a capital of 81 900, 900, posted 4 notice that
they would not open their doors This
started panic and the Commercial Ma
tional posted a similar notice, and then
the National Bank Of Commerce, and
people asked where will this stop" A
run was Immediately started on all the
other banks, though to no great extent
upon the Peoples National.
The First National appears to be the
soundest OF all, they having over sixty
per cent of their deposits on hand, with a
private fund of 81 100000 in addition to
draw upon, making it impossible to close
their doors. The Colorado National and
several others are in equally as good con-
dition.
ALL SMALL, DEPOsITORs.
The mob withdrawing their money are
all small dcpositors, large holders being
satisfied to let their accounts remain in
the banks
The banks are paying all demands ex-
NJ sv,c
that these remain until the expiration of
the time
AS every bank is crowded, the clearing
house is rendering no assistance, each
institution being compelled to stand upon
its own foundation
TWO MORE CLOSE.
The Commercial National Bank closed
its doors within q few minutes after
opening, because it was apparent from
the size of the crowd in front of the bank
that run was to be inaugurated. A
notice was posted on the door reading:
CLOSED for liquidation by order Of the
directors" The bank was in a bad
shape. 1t had a capital stock of $3.50, 900,
and only had 50 900 in cash in the bank
The Mercantile Bank private insti-
tuition, with a capital stock of 500, 600,
closed its doors at noon. Its failure was
caused by the failure of the Union
National Bank, through which it cleared.

Washington, July 18.-News of the

in the controllers Office, for it was be-
lieved there that the worst was over and

Some Trouble Among Them at the
Chicago Fair.

Chicago, July 18.-There was trouble
for a delegation Of 120 newspaper people
from Iowa representing the Iowa Editorial
Association at the Sixty-socond street
gate this morning. All had single
admission press passes properly signed,
but they were refused admission on
the piece of paper because its color was
brown instead of yellow All brown col
ored passes had been summarily
Cancelled by order of Superintendent
Tucker without any warning to bona fide
holders of them because a lot OF them had
been stolen and were being used. So the
only alternative presented TO the visiting
newspaper men was to leave 80 cents at
the ticket Office. They We're not the only
sufferers, however, as many Chicago
newspaper men holding cancelled
passes were compelled to pay
their way in. The showing of badges
or personal cards availed nothing with
the gatemen and inspectors, who followed
their orders literally There was conse-
quently some lively talking to-day in the
press admission Office Of Maj. Handy's
department.

The Judge Holds That the Evidence
Against Him is Sufficient.


Charleston, S. c., July 1S-The post
poned case against Vincent Chicco, alleg-
ing illegal sale of intoxicating liquor in
violation Of the dispensary law, came up
before Judge Milan this morning The
Judge yesterday issued a second warrant
in which is Incorporated the name of
Sanders who acted as Chieeos agent
Both warrants were before the court to-
day, the first alleging the sale of three
glasses of beer on July IL to constables
Pepper, Jolly and Chappell, and the sec
ond alleging the sale of two glasses of
beer to constables Jolly and Chappell
The only witness heard was Constable
jolly, who was sworn by the state. He
swore that he bought beer on July II from
Chicco once only, and in the
presence of Chappell He affirmed
that he never purchased any on that day
either with or in the presence of Pepper.
Lawyer Bissell argued that the first
warrant Olny was before the court, and
that Jolly's testimony proved to be false
He asked for the dismissal of his client
on that warrant. Justice Milan con
suited Solicitor Jervy and decided that
inasmuch as the sale of liquor was a
material point, and not to whom it was
sold, Chicco be bound over on the first
warrant and that the second lie dor
mant. This was done Lawyer Bissell
threatened to begin habeas corpus pro
ceedings upon the evidence given to-day.
No new arrests have been made.
