StFaighten Treasurer TayIor's
Shortage.

Chicago, H., Jan. IA secret con-
ference of the bondsmen of w. w. Tay-
lor. the defaulting treasurer of South

OF Lafayette, Ind, and G.. H Vinton and
C. r. Howard of Redheld, S. D., We're in
the city the two former being registered
at the Great Northern hote1. The con-
ference of the bondsmen was mysterious
one. It was rumored that Taylor was in
the city and was to meet his bondsmen,
hat this was phatically denied. All
&he interested parties made every effort
to escape newspaper reporters and pro-
feSsed dense ignorance regarding the pro-
posed meeting.
Late this afternoon eX-Gov. Meliette
consented to talk briefly about the case.
He declared that he never expects to see
Taylor again unless he IS captured. As
TO the defauting treaSurerS whereabouts
the ex-governor said he had not the faint
est idea and he refused to hazard a guess.
Taylor. he thought, took about 100000
with him when he disappeared.
How Will the disappearance affect the
bondsmen:' EIr. Mellette was asked.
Affect them!' he answered CURLY
''Why it viii simply affect them by prac-
tically taking every cent every one OF
the bondsmen has. The bondsmen must
make their bonds good, and as [ said be

bank today announcing that the institu-
ton had suspended and that, by order of
the board of directors, the banks affairs
had been taken in charge by Bank Elk
aminer G. NJ Dorr. To an Associated
Press reporter Examiner Dorr said that
Cashier Isaac Z. Abbott's accounts were
badly mixed and there was shortage
which might amount to between $60, 1000
and $4,000. He could not say definitely
how much the defalcation would amount
to- as the books have not yet been thor
oughiy examined. Cashier Abbott, who
has been under surveillance since Satur-
day. was interviewed today. Mr.. Abbott
admitted that his accounts were short. but
refused to say how much. He would not
say where the money had gone or how
long the shortage has existed.
United States Marshal Campbell ar
rived in the city this afternoon and a
warrant for Abbott's arrest was at once
issued. The defaulter heard that the
marshal was coming to arrest him, and
going to his room, he deliberately shot
himself through the head. He was deaG

state treasurer Taylor, a Banker at
Redfield, S. D., Leaves the
Country.

Redheld, s. D., Jan. 10-ProbabIy the
most startling failure that has ever oc-
CURED in South Dakota or the Northwest
was revealed today in word received from
William Waiter Taylor the outgoing state
treasurer and president of the FIRST Ma
tional bank and Northwestern MORTGAGE
Trust company of this city, that he would
not appear to make his settlement at
Pierre with his successor, Treasurer-elect
Phillips of Deadwood.
1t is estimated that about $320,OOO is
missing with Taylor. Aside from the finan-
cial loss. the action of Taylor is felt terri
bly, by all who have known and done bust
ness with him and the financial enterprises
with which he has been connected in years
past. He and his enterprises here have
handled many thousands of Eastern CAPT
tai, and his bank has always been regard
ed as one of the firm, safe institutions in
the state.
The books of the treasurers office show
there is due from Treasurer Taylor $780,
OOO AL that can be found is 5000 in
the Pierre banks and $500 in the Bank
Taylor has left the country He was last
seen here on January 4, when he left for
Chicago. The letter from him. received
Tuesday, stating that he would not appear
at Pierre to settle with his successor, was
dated New York, January g.
Pierre, S. D., Jan. 11.-Facts have colTre
into possession of the state officials which
make them reasonably certain that Treas
urer Taylor and certain confederates de-
liberately went to work after it became
evident that he could not square his ac-
counts to hold the state up and compel
3 compromise by which he should escape
from the penalty and his bondsmen should
be protected from loss.
The state was in a bard place. fnan-
cially IF not cent had been lost, there
| would have been a deficit on the first
! day of next July of fully 100000, due to
over-appropriations by the last Legislature
and to the slow payment Of taxes on &C
count of the short crops.
| 1t is believed by the authorities on sub.
stantial evidence that realizing he would
| be short 100000 when the transfer was
| to be made on the Sth, he consulted with
some of his friends and hackers, and they
| decided that the best thing to do was tc
seize Ill the money in the treasury and
put it in place Of hiding where it could be
| gotten at when desired.

One of the largest and finest bells in
the world is in Cnina. and was cast by
order of the founder of the Ming dynaS-
ty, about the time Of the discovery of
America, to commemorate the removal
OF the Chinese capital from NankiD to
Pekin. 1t is in many respects the finest
work of art in Asia-the product of ma
tive skill--and could not DO duplicated
by the highest ability or resources Of
Western foundries. IL stands fourteen
feet high, thirty-four feet in circumfer-
ence. nearly one foot in thickness and
weighs over 100. 900 pounds. But what
makes the bell the chef d oeuvre of Asia
is the fact that without tiaw or de-
foct of any kind it is completely COW
cred in relief, both inside and out, with
myriads of Chinese characters. sach one
not an inch in size, consisting of prayers
from Buddhistic classics. Those pray
ers are supposed to be acceptably re-
cited every time the bell is rung.
