TOOK A TRAIN FOR PORTLAND.
Couple Supposed To Be Abscondipc
Teller Murphy and His Wife.


Teller Murphy and His Wife.
Biddeford, Me-, December Ga man
and woman, whose appearance led to the
suspicion that they were Clarence
Murphy, the absconding Salem bank
teller and his wife, took late train for
Portland last night. About $50 last
mig hit two men and woman drove ND
to the eastern division station in this
city and inquired if there was a train
for Portland due in short time. When
told that there was the man and woman
3alighted from the sleigh and entered the
small, dimly lighted waiting room. That
1he man ana woman were strangers to the
oIiver, was evident from the conversation
when they settled with him, The connie
were covered with snow and were nearlv
frozen when they arrived at the depot.
Inc woman was of medium height. of
light complexion and quite good looking.
Inc couple are supposed to have come
from Goodwin's mills, in Alfred. Their
description tallies with that of the
abscondlng cashier and his wife. The
train was over an hour late and the two
passengers appeared to be very anxious
at It's non-arrival. They purchased
tickets to Portland on board fhe rrain
when it arrived. From the inquiry made
by the man and woman it was apparent
that the couple were never in this city
before, and they did not appear to care
II Ihey never came again.
The supposition is that if the couple
was Clarence Murphy and his wife tfey
went from some Massachusetts city to
Alfred via the Portland & Rochester
either Saturday or Monday. and in
stead of going through to Portland they
stopped off at the shire town in order to
throw the officers off their track.
Murphy on Saturday last it is alleged
stole $500 from the strong box while the
directors were in the directors room of
the bank, waiting for him to explain
some figures he had made in a book.
Since his departure the bank commits
sioners have been busily engaged in an
examination of the books Of the institu-
tion, and find that the missing teller is
deficient about 5000 in his accounts.
There is reward of 500 offered for the
apprehension of Murphy.
The train on which the couple are said
to have left Biddeford was examined by
Deputy Marshal Hartnett upon it's arrival
here Tuesday night. Mr.. Hartnett was

First National at Hot Springs Fails.

A ripple Of the great wave of financial
disaster which has been sweeping the
country reached the Hills on Friday
morning Of last week, when the First
National Bank of Hot Springs closed its
doors. A few hours later Cashier Parks
made public statement to the effect
that the closing was the result of the
withdrawal of deposits, and the inabili-
ty of the bank to Immediately convert
its securities into cash. The bank
officials claim that their securities are
first class, that depositors will be paid
one hundred cents on the dollar, and
further that the bank will be opened
again in short time. During the sixty
days preceding the failure nearly S40.-
600 in deposits had been Withdrawn,
and with no prospects that the run
would cease, the suspension was newt
able. The bank had $4,000 of city,
school and county money on deposit,
and it is hinted that the recent judg-
ment Of the court, compelling the coun-
ty treasurer to honor the large warrants
held by Fred Evans, had something to
do with the failure. A run was made
on the Minnekahta State bank the same
day the National went under, but it
weathersd the storm.

We have been requested by a number
of the citizens of Custer and vicinity to
warn all persons residing along French
creek against dumping saw dust or other
refuse into the water. Three years ago
several thousand trout were put in the
creek, and they are now rapidly grow
ing and increasing. The sawdust kills
them and it is not right that they
should be destroyed through someone's
carelessness. Those persons who were
instrumental in having the fish placed
in the creek are especially interested in
this matter. and they propose that these
violations of the law shall cease, even if
they have to resort to the prosecution
of the offenders. However, this is ir-
tended only as friendly warning. and
notice that there is such law in
existence.

Beatrice, Neb., will, within the next
week or two, bring his family to Custer,
where they will pass the remainder of
tho summer. Mr. Griggs is in posi-
ton to maintain his family at any resort
in the country, and their selection Of
Custer each summer season, is certainly
a card for our beautiful little city.

and will visit here indefinitely. The
