tance have not. however, transpired, and
the market has simply retained its inert

of wheat and silver, though unparalleled
in their severity, have been practically
diSregarded. Speculative interests, il is
true, have taken very unfavorable
view of the effects of the former

also be added that professional

advantage of the circumstances by sell.

seemed to have no other effect than to
increase the already extensive short

and discriminating character of invest

lack of public Or European interest in
speculation, there is little or no pres

though disposed to put out shorts, seem
to discover that such activity simply
results in dangerous augmentation of
their outstanding contracts, A move

Suffers to the Extent OF $4,000.
WATKINS, N. Y, Feb. 9.-John w.
Love, the president of this village and
cashier of the First National bank, has
absconded with $1,000 of the funds of
the bank. The greatest sensation that
! has been created in Watkins and the
surrounding country in years was
caused today when the doors Of the
First National bank were closed, and
the following startling announcement
posted on them:
''CIosed, because the cashier has run
away"
1t has been learned that Love left
Watkins soma time last night, and the
amount he took with him from the bank
vault is estimated at $4,000. For some
time Love and others of this place have
been interested IN a city boom at West
Muncie, Ind, and it is generally be-
lieved that he became involved through
speculation there. Love is thirty-fve
years of age, and has family.
The bank has many depoSitors in
Watkins and vicinity, and groups Of
men are to be seen everywhere discuss
ing the matter. Love left letter for
his brother James, stating that he was
insane and would kill himself by jump
ing into the lake; but this is thought TO
be bluff on account of his taking the
bank funds. 1t is rumOred that there
we're $4,000 of state money in the bank.
The funds of the town of Dix were also
there.
The excitement has been intensified
by the finding of Loves coat and hat Oh
the dock at Magee's DoathOuse.

the following version of the crime, which
he apparently deeply deplores amid
sighs and sobs. He says that when he
met the Stanleys and their men yester-
day afternoon they ordered him to turn
out of the road, which he refused to do
because he had load and they were
coming along empty, but they insisted
and came at him with clubs. He then
showed them that he had a revolver
and meant to stand his ground.
About this time Stanley came
running up and pulled out revolver.

get out of the way. He jumped from
the sled and Stanley fired again, and he
shot back at Stanley over the load.
Stanley then started to run around the
sled and came at him. when he shot HIM.
He only shot twice, and says he did not
see Stanley fail, nor does he remember
about shooting the boy. After firing
twice he turned and ran. and says he
was pursued by man, who fired at
him several times as he ran through the
brush. Those who talked with John
Yesterday afternoon all agree that this
is his statement of the shooting. The
jury at the coroner's inquest, which was
held this afternoon, returned verdict
that Stanley came to his death at the
hands of August John by shooting. The

of the Seattle dispatch. Rev.
jenkins left wife and two
beautiful children, one of whom
died several weeks ago. For days Mrs.
Jenkins lowered between life and
death, the shock of the husbands dis
grace almost killing her, and for this
reason the matter was kept from the

Universalist church was organized here,
Jenkins occupied the pulpit. and also
busted himself in organizing new
churches aud preaching throughout the
Dakotas and Minnesota. Infatuation
for woman whom he met while oc-
cupying pulpit in another city led
him astray, and the woman is supposed
to have gotten the money which he
stole from his employers. When the
