THE BoGGs BANK SCANDAL.
Two Important Books Missing 80 The
presidenI Has Left Town.

Tacoma. Sept Special. The failure
and assignment of the Bank of Tacoma,
successor 10 the Tacoma Trust and Saw
iugs bank. was brought into court today
on the suit OF Chris Olson. Olson had Sli3
on deposit in the latter bank when the
former bank assumed its liabilities. He
asks to have r s. Alexander. the
signee of the Bank OF Tacoma. removed.
a receiver appointed. and the assets OF the
two banks separated Olson also alleges
fraud in the making Of the assignment.
The case brought out strong array OF
legal talent
A sensation was caused when the first
witness Frank Carpenter formerly tell
er. and later secretary of the bank. made
the statement that the ledger and jour
nal of the old bank had disappeared.
These volumes are Of much importance.
Without them nothing definite can be
learned of the condition of the bank. Car
nenter was closely questioned, but nothing
could be learned of the wheres bouts of
the books. He stated that he had seen
them up to within few days ago. since
which time diligent search has failed 10
locate them The only persons having
access 10 the vault where the books were
kept where Mr.. Molvig. the bookkeeper,
Mr.. Alexander. the assignee, Mr. Allen,
the president, and the witness.
MIR. Allen is reported TO have left for
Chicago last Friday night, accompanied
by his family. but whether the books
Went with him Is not ascertainable.
This Is not the FIRST time books of this
institution have been known to disappear.
\ year ago Judge Campbell i'm trying the
case of the Commercial bank against
Chilberg obtained an order from Judge
Stallcup compelling President Allen. OF
the bank. 10 produce the books of the
Imnerial Trust and Loan Company. the
predecessor of the Tacoma Trust and Saw
iugs Company and the Bank OF Tacoma
but two days were consumed upon one
excuse or anolucr. until "A peremptory or
der 10 bring the books in at O'Clock in
the afternoon was made by the court one
o'clock came. and > o'clock. and no books
and no Mr.. Allen. Tho Judge then ordered
tho sheriff 10 so down and hVing Mr. Al
len before him. Mr.. Allen came and cX-
planned 10, the court with very red face
that he had been unable to find them
and he supposed Mr.. Grattan Wheeler.
the cashier OF the bank. had made some
disposition Of the books before leaving for
New York. but Just what he had done with
them was unknown.
\. q. Richards. the first secretary Of
the company. and J. w Berry. one Of the
directors OF the bank, were examined.
Their testimony mainly touched the
transfer from the OH bank 20 the Bank
of Tacoma. The hearing will he continued

STRUCK THE WRONG MAN.
Disappointed Tramp Sues HumbIy for Par.
don OF Manchester Citizen.

Ralph Prescott Of Manchester, had :
decidedly unique experience with an uu
known man, few nights ago, or per
maps, more correctly, the unknown had
the experience with Mr.. Prescott.
The latter had gone out to his stable &c
| LOOK after his horses, when at the farther
end of the room he saw man. standing
gaunt and grim. This man was all hight.
as far as he went, the trouble beipg
| that Mr.. Prescott went him lone better. =
lie asked the intruder who he was and
what he wanted The intruder, beyond
doubt one of the genus tramp, replied
something to the effect that he would
then and there clearly show just who he
was, and what he wanted.
He made lungc at Mr.. Prescott who
lodged, and lungcd back, landing the
gaunt and grim intruder in a heap.
Again this performance was gone through
with, the result being the same as at first,
the tramp finding the floor as Mr. Pres
colt is very able man.
After this, the tramp began to whine,
and sue for quarter. Mr. Prescott opened
the way for him, of which he was moth
Ing loath to take advantage
Undoubtedly, if the tramps of this sec
ton have code OF symbols, marked be-
fore ones premises, there will be very
few to encroach upon Mr. Prescott's land
in the future.
