taken up, with John F. Walsh the favor

The Irish American Bank has filed a
suit for damages against Otto Bader,
proprietor of the Fall hotel, for maiici-
kously circulating false ru,nors affecting
its credit and financial standing. Bader
is charged with telling some of the en-
ployes of the Washburn mills that
among the banks which closed their
doors during the past week was the
Irish American bank. One of the Off
Gals Of the bank heard the report and
visited Bader's place where he heard
him repeat the story to an other man, adj
ding that it was no wonder as the bank
had only $4,000 in each according to it's
last statement to the bank examiner. To
