NELSON RELEASBDONBOND.
His Preliminary Examination
Held at Ogden.
TWO PRISONERS ESCAPE
Each Had Been Sentenced by Judge
Miner TO Two Years in the Pen.
One of them Captured, But the Other
Still at Large-An Attempt Win be
Made to Borrow Money to Pay
Interest on Ogden Bonds.

OGDEN, Aug. 25.-[Special. deputy
United States Marshal Budd of Helena,
Mont. reached Ogden this morning, hav-
ing in his custody A. III. Nelson, ex-man-
aging secretary of the Ogden Building
and Loan association, who is charged
By the officers of that institution with
having embezzled $13, 900, and this after
noon a preliminary examination was
commenced before Commissioner Hulan-
iski, but was not concluded and will be
continued tomorrow morning. Three
witnesses were placed upon the stand,
but no damaging evidence was brought
out, the testimony being almost entirely
confined TO a discussion of the business
methods of the association, and none of it
showed that there is really any defalca-
| ton. The prosecution feel confident,
however, of yet making out strong case.
| Nelson was released on 81. coo bond with
Judge A. B. Patton and NJ. Ii. Wheel
wright as his sureties. To HERALD
man he denied all of the charges made
against him and affirms his entire inno-
cence.
At the morning session OF the district
court number OF alleged criminals were
arraigned upon indictments found
against them for various crimes. Among
them were Charles f. Martin and Ed
! Forrest, men who burglarized the store
of Kuhn & Bro. They pleaded guilty to
| burglary and were each sentenced by
Judge Miner to two years in the peniten-
| tiary.
| When court adjourned for the morning
session Martin and Forrest were in COM
pany with ten others and were marched
from the court room to the north entrance
of the Utah Loan and Trust company
building, in which court quarters are To-
Gated. They had been handcuffed to-
gether, but in some manner succeeded in
unlocking the cuffs, and when the north
entrance was reached Martin made bold
rush for liberty down Twenty fourth
street. He was followed by one OF the
three officers in charge and captured after
chase OF hall block.
The other prisoners were at once
punched, and upon looking around the
officers found that Forrest was missing
and such is the situation at late hour
tonight, notwithstanding the fact that all
day large number of United States, city
and county officers have been searching
the city and vicinity. Forrest evidently
took the matter coolly and walked quietly
away during the excitement consequent
upon the attempted escape of Martin.
This evening the handouts which held
the two together during their stay in the
courtroom were found under the seat
occupied by Forrest, and it is evident the
men held their hands together for the
purpose of deceiving the officers.
The treasury of the board of education
is depleted and the serious question which
now confronts the board is where is the
money with which to pay interest on the
bonds coming due. At a meeting tonight
the board decided to, If possible, borrow
SEE, eco for ninety days on the best terms
obtainable.

THE SENATE a TIE.
vice-President Stevenson May Have the
Casting Vote.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-There is con-
siderable anxiety in Congress regarding
Vice President Stevenson's views on the
pending silver legislation, especially as,
according to a recent canvass, it appears
that if the three appointed Senators from
the silver states are allowed to take their
seats, the Senate will be tie and Steven
son will have the casting vote. Beyond
expressing the belief that the session will
be protracted, the vice president refuses
to talk. 1t is urged that he, being a mem
Der of the administration. will vote for
the administration measure as matter OF
course. There is a good deal of COM
promise talk. 1t is said the steering
committee has made formal offer to the
silver men for the passage of repeal bill
accompanied by a law directing the pur-
chase of 600, coo, GOO ounces of silver at a
specific time, all purchases to close there
after, and that the silver men have the
matter under consideration.

CLEARING HOUSE CERTIFICATES.
They Are Not Legal Tender According to
Kansas state Bank Examiner.

-
Kansas State Bank Examiner.
TOPEKA, Kan. Aug. 25.-State Bank
Commissioner Briedenthal has issued a
circular 10 the state banks declaring that
in view of the fact that the New York
City banks refuse to pay drafts excepting
in clearing house certificates, which are
not lawful money, they appear TO be in
solvent. He points out that the state
banking law requires a reserve of 20 per
cent. of the deposits, half of which may
consist of balance due from solvent banks.
Not considering New York banks solvent,
he rules that the Kansas banks mus not
hereafter count as part of their legal re-
serve more than p per centin money due
from New York. He allows this much
only to enable the banks to supply the
local demand for New York exchange.
BrieGenthai says the circular is issued for
the protection OF Kansas. Local banks
are borrowers in New York, and, if they
transfer their accounts to either city the
New York banks will call the loans.
