from business and quietly SOLD his inter-
est in the bank to Mr.. Mitchell He had
more money than he could ever spend,
but one morning he awakened to find
that every cent he owned had been swept
away. He was practically out of the
bank, but the special law above referred
to made him equally liable for a period
o: six months after selling his interest
in the bank. Had it held out ID days
longer John Johnston would have es-
capped with his fortune. There was no
h.sitancy or legal quibBling on the part
of these three men as to their liability.
They promptly and voluntarily surren-
dered every thing in the world they
owned the dag after the banks collapse.
To further complicate matters, Mrs.
Mitchell has brought a suit for her IN
terest in the estate or enough OF IL TO
keep up hor income Of $4,000 year.
Sensational charges ar*mede in her suit,
and she asks that she be made q preferred
creditor and that she be paid before the
creditors of the bank. She also asks that
her son be removed from his trust as
executor of the estate, averring that ne
is the victim of mining sharks and others
and that through his inexperience or in
attention to business the bulk of the
magnificent estate has been dlsSlpated.
The trial of this suit will begin at the
fall term of the court.
Since her husbands death few years
ago Mrs. Mitchell has received about
$3.50 900 from the estate, yet she says she
is today without funds and in almost
needy circumstances, although she owns
the slslen1id summer home at the Thou
sand islands and the plantation in
Florida. These assets are not money,
however. and as Mrs. Mitchell has been
living at the rate of $4,000 to $4,000 a
year the expenditure of the large sum
she has received thus far from the estate
can elsily be accounted for. 1t costs
enormously to keep up these widely
separated establishments. The outcome
of this suit is awaited with interest, as
the inner circle has it that relations be-
tween the mother and son have long been
strained and that the breach has been
widened instead of narrowed by the
events Of the past few weeks. A great
deal of Mrs. MitchelPs money goes to
charity, and many are there who are de-
voutly praying that she may win in her
suit.
The creditors of the bank are scattered
over the east and northwest. The stand
ing of the bank was so good that people
in different parts of the country sent
money to it for investment. It is con-
fidently asserted that it will take three
years for the assignee to wind up the
business. If Mrs. Mitchell loses, the
assignee may pay dollar for dollar. In
any event the bank, which for SO many
wears was veritable mine to it's owners,
will be abandoned, and it's franchise and
good will, at one time actually worth
millions alone, will go out of existence,

Miss Pauline johnson is the daughter
of chief of the Mohawk Indians, one of
the principal tribes of the Iroquois Ma
ton. Through her father she is descend
ed from long line of warriors and ora
tors. Mr.. johnson was an educated man
and an interpreter in one of the Indian
churches presided over by an English
clergyman. It was at the house OF this
man-her sisters husband-that Miss
Emily S. Howells, as young girl, be-
came interested in the man she eventu-
ally married. Mrs johnson is a c. arm
ing little English lady, and she and her
daughter are devoted to each other.
Miss johnson has been literally pad

g. years old, with the remarkable record
of never having had an upset She owns
Peterboro, "The Wildcat" and in ''The
Cat" as she more Familiarity calls this
boon companion of hers, she spends
much of her spare time from early spring
until late in November. She makes
cruises, shooting the rapids when occa-
sion requires.
In padding her own canoe, fgurative-

experience, but she is doing it now most
successfully, for she is blessed with tai

is a poet, not mere versifer, but a

nature and beautifully clothe the secrets
she finds there for the public gaze. She
does some journalistic work as well,

Especial Correspondence


MILWAUKEE,, Sept. For period of
over half century Mitchells bark was
considered one of the great financial bull
warks of the west and northwest. 1t
was worth millions and was supposedly
bacAed by estates worth anywhere from
ten TO twenty millions. Its profits fire.
quently reached $500, 900 year, and the
three men who owned it were consid-
cred conservative and shrewd bankers.
One can imagine the effect of the col
lapse of such jill institution, and its fall
nre during the early days of the recent
financial crisis fairly paralyzed the en-
tire business and social community.
The details of the failure have been
told, but the story Of the bank and the
elements that combined to send it on the
shoals of the financial sea are of absorb
ing interest. Mitchell's bank was found
ed in 1889 by the late Alexander Mitch
ell, who for over half century was one
of tie most successful and conspicuous
financiers in the west. just previous to
Mr.. Mitchelrs death he had backed two
friends in a great wheat dealt has al
ways been claimed that the willy old
Scotchman never specialized himself
and the deal failed.
This financial defeat, the first he had
ever met, is supposed to have fastened
his death, and the TACT has just leaked
out that the estate was called upon i'm
