On Saturday night. at the Leather.

there is q large amount OF monev in.

Yesterday about noon when car %,
on the Bellaire, Bridgeport and Mar.
tins Ferry electric railway came to
keohnline crossing. Charles Porter,
who was coming south with a wagon
load OF coke over the Ohio Valley pike,
drove on tho track in front OF the car.
The motorman slowed up his car and
rang the gong for the track. Porter, so
the motorman says, looked back, and
instead OF driving Off the track out of
the way Of the car, kept right in the
track, but started his team on a trot.
The motorman kept a safe distance be.
hind the wagon, till the wagon stopped
very suddenly, and tho car came in
violent contac. with the rear end OF the
wagon. Tho collision broke the pam
els aud upright posts, and the vestibule
Of the car was entirely destroyed. The
damage to the car is about $lo5, aud
the company has taken stops to bring
suit against Porter for damages.

now in the possession Of" the bank
according to the bond. His present
contention is that if the bank had,
prior to July l, 1895, used any Of the
county funds so that it did not at that
time have the money" in its possess
ion, his company is not liable for the
money so used; but that the bond
of the bank that was In force at that
time would be liable. He compares
this case with that Of an officer who
holds his Office several terms, giving a
different bond each term, and is finally
found to be a defaulter His bonds
men for the particular term during
which q defalcatiOn occurred are liza.
Bile therefore and not his last bonds
men liable for the whole shortage.
He says he will investigate the
whole matter before returning east
and then as soon as a third bank is
selected, his company will pay every
cent OF the loss, except that for which
II is clearly and PROFESSIONALLY not
liable.

liability for this $4,000 loss it may
be Of interest to know who they are
The sureties on the bond given July 6,
1894, together with the several
amounts which they swore they were
worth over and above all debts, eY.
emptions and liabilities are as
follows: VIM. Il. Berry, $4,000
N. E. Thomson, $1,000; G. W. Baird,
$4,000; l. K. Ziegler and L. H. Zieg.
ler, executors OF D. Ziegler estate,
100000; 2. Miexsell, $4,000; E. D.
Ziegler, $4,000; B. L. Beattie, no
amount stated.
Mr.. Baird lives In Indiana and the
Zeiglers in Pennsylvania. Our law
requires all sureties on bonds to be
residents Of Kansas, but this would
probably not release these people
from liability on the bond. But 1t Is
almost certain that the executors Of
the Zeigler estate could not be held
on the bond as executors have no au-
thority to sign such bonds. R. L.
Beattie is also resident OF another
state at present.
Taking the matter all In all, the
prospects are very fair for some In

as a county depository. He hangs
tenaciOusly to the theory that his
company's agreement was to be re-
sponsible for the safe handling of
only One-third of the county funds by
each Of the banks; that they did not
and will not agree to be responsible
for the safety Of one-half OF these
funds in each OF two banks. He fur.
ther states that rather than do so
his company will take advantage Of
the terms Of their bonds, AID by Civ
ing thirty days notice, cancel the
bonds OF the Wellington and Sumner
National banks. But he says when
ever third bank has been designat-
ed by the commissioners, bis company
will pay over every dollar for which
II is liable Immediately.
The county commissioners look at
the matter differently. Last July
they refused to take any sureties on
these bank bonds EXCEPT this COM
pany. At that time the wellington
National bank objected TO giving this
company on Its bond, because it cost
$3.50 to do so. They said they could
give an absolutely good bond with
Sumner county citizens a. sureties
which would not cost them anything.
But the commissioners told them
plainly that they must give an indem-
nifty company as surety or not get any
county money. This company was
the only company that was at that
time authorized to do business In the
state. Consequently the Wellington
National paid Its $3.50 for its bond.
This incident apparently established
the policy OF the county commission
ers to be the refusal Of all personal
security on its bank bonds, so that
they could not at this time very con-
sistently accept personal sureties
from any other bank.
The failure Of the First National
bank gave rise to peculiar situation.
The law fOrbids the deposit of more
than $4,000 in any one bank. On
January l, 1895, after the county treas
urer has sent to the fiscal agency
every dollar he could in advance Of
the regular time. there was more than
$1,000 in each Of the three banks
acting as county repositories. Thus
it will be seen that it is absolutely
necessary to have third bankl as q
depository. Moreover the law requires
that all Repositories ushall De banks
at the county seat if the commission
ers consider them responsible and
they be able to give satisfactory bonds.
When the commissioners were in ses-
sion on the Sth inst. this matter was
under discussion and at that time
the commissioners told F. K. Robbins
of the Farmers bank that if this
company settled the First National
loss satisfactorily and If it would
make his bond, they would designate
People's voice. [volume] (Wellington, Sumner County, Kansas) 1890-1917, 1895-11-28

his bank as county depository at the
same rite Of interest the other banks
are paying. He accordingly sent in
his application. They stated these
facts to the representatives Of the
company.
So here you have the crisis cross:
The indemnity company positively
will not pay over any money whatever
until a third bank is selected. The
county commissioners consider Rob-
bins bank responsible and have said
they will designate 1t as a
county depository when this company
makes this bond; provided, however,
that it first settles the First National
loss satisfactorily.
Mr.. Berry stated to US this morning
that his company would not make
Robbins bond. He said that this was
not because they did not consider 1t
safe to do so: that the company had
made no investigation whatever In
that line and that he would request
Mr.. Robbins to withdraw his applica-
tiOn. He took particular pains to say
that these facts ought not to be con.
Sidered as derogatory to Mr.. Robbins,
because this position was assumed
solely because Of the surrounding Cir
cumstances. He compared his com.
pany to an insurance company and
stated that ordinarily one company
did not care to take all the risk on
building and that his company, now
that other indemnity companies have
been admitted to the state, did not
care to assume all the risk for the
county funds In any one county. He
further called attention to the fact
that the position Of the county com
missioDers looked to them like an at.
tempt to force them on the bond or to
make a settlement that would be sat
isfactory to the county whether it was
just to the company or not. We pre-
sumo that the next step will be for
Mr.. Robbins TO secure bond from the
American Surety Company, the only
other indemnity company doing bust
ness in the state.
Mr.. Berry goes to Newton this eve
ming but will return early next week
He proposes to investigate thoroughly
the question of the extent Of the LA
bility Of his company. He does moi
raise any question about the county
being out $4,000 on the First Nation
al bank failure. But what he intend;
to determine is whether the bank got
away with this money, or any part Of
it, before July lst, 1895. In Othel
words he admits that his company i:
liable for any shortcomings Of the
bank with reference to any money il
had on hand on July l, 1895, or has re-
ceived since. But he makes distinct
ion between what the bank stood
charged with on the books of the
treasurer on that date and the money
