a Three-Cent Stew.

The insignificant sum of three cents
Is making County Treasurer Buxton
very weary of life. 1t will be remam-
0ered that some time ago a miller at
Crow River started to put in a dam for
power. There was a KICK from prop
erty owners in the vicinity, and the
court was appealed to, after which COM
mlssioners were appointed to assess
damages. In the return of the commits
sloners five of the kickers were given
one cent each as damages. Three of
these refused the cent, stating that the
award was absurd. The owner of the
dam then came to the treasurer and in
sisted that he take the three cents on
deposit, as was provided for by law
IN such cases. The treasurer refused
TO take the money for the reason
that the small sum would have to be
carried forward OH the books perhaps
for all time, and he didn't believe it was
the law. He will appeal to the county
attorney, and it is possible that a writ
OF mandamus will be asked for to conf
pei him To accept the sum. He is dis
gusteu with So much trouble over three
cents.

BANK OFFICIALS ARRESTED,
Charged With Grand Larceny in
Connection With Failures.

DENVER, July 26.-President NJ. j.
Lawrence. of the Peoples Savings
bank. was arrested at his office in the
Peoples National bank shortly after .
O'Clock this afternoon on warrant
charged with grand larceny in connec-
ton with the failure of the savings
bank. The warrant was issued out of
Justice LebertS court, and is sworn to
by w. Nj. Casey in behalf of his wife,
Sophie Casey, who is Il deposition in the
bank to the amount of $500. The
same warrant upon which President
Lawrence was arrested also calls for
the arrest of Cashier +. G. Shrader upon
the same Charge, and he too was arrest
ed before y. IN. The charge upon
which the proceedings are brought is
that the bank received a deposit from
Mrs. Casey within thirty days
previous to the time of failure
This is alleged to be violation of the
state law, and is held to be by that law
prlma facle evidence that the officials OF
the bank knew that the bank was in
solvent. This, under the laws. makes
the officials liable to prosecution for
grand larceny. Mrs. Casey made a de-
pOsit on June % last. The bank closed
its doors July II, it's last business day
being Saturday, July 10. President
Lawrence declares that no official act of
the officers of the bank can reflect upon
their honor and good faith, and that he
has no fears of developments. A meet
ing of the depositurS of the bank is
called for tomorrow, when steps will be
taken to proceed i'll bringing about an
investigation of the conduct of the
affairs of the bank. Messrs. Lawrence
and Schrader were taken before Justice
Lebert and placed under bends of $500
each, ii. NJ. Ohrhad, of the firm of Tel

went into the hands of a receiver yes
day. The application was heard two
weeks ago, and the court at that time
did not appoint receiver for the rea-

save the concern from the reeeiverShip.
After long figuring the petitioning

much too nigh, and he then offered one
half the amount for the plant This
was refused, and the matter rested for a

refused 10 give them up, and the result
was they were fOrcibly taken possession

were arrested and fined s. and costs for
assault. Meantime Charles f. Merrill

coGrt, and came to the scene post haste
and took POSSESSION under a bond of
$4,000 fixed by the court. 1t is thought

president and cashier we'll knew that
the bank was III an unsOund aud unsafe

firm became depoSitor, anu on May 10
offered for deposit drafts ami checks

FOR IMPROVEMENT.
Lowering of the Milwaukee
Tracks Considered.

The first meeting of the special com
mittee appointed to investigate the
feasibility of lowering the Milwaukee
and the Hastings u Dakota srailroad
tracks met yesterday afternoon. No
action was taken except to direct the
city engineer to include Washington
avenue in his track lowering plans. In
order to do this the street which now
runs under the track at Eighth avenue
south must be filled up.
Mr.. Cappelen explained to the alder
men in full what his ideas were, and
illustrated them by carefully prepared
pIats showing the number of proposed
bridges. He stated that if the council
was SO inclined it could at any time
order the work done, as the plan pre-
scented was perfectly feasible, and the
work could be done without interfering
with the traffic of the road to any great
extent, or with its shops and yards. The
aldermen were wonderfully unanimous
on the point that the improvements
would be of great benefit to South Min
neapoii6. and. in fact, to the whole city.
