State TREASURER SHORT
W. W. TAYLOR, OF S0UTL
DAKOTA, A DEFAGLTER'

It is Alleged That More Than $780,
900 is Missing State Is
Practically Bankrupt-The Treas
urer Loaned the State Money and
Could Not Get 1t Back.
Probably the most startling failure that
has ever occurred In the Northwest. was re-
vealed when William Walter Taylor, the out
going State Treasurer and President OF the
First National Bank and Northwestern Mort
gage Trust Company, Of Redfeld, South
Cakota, sent word from New York that
he would not appenr to make MS
lettlement at Pierre with his successor,
Treasurer-elect Phillips, Of Deadwood. Both
regarded as firm and reliable beyorId ques-
ion.
No money Is held either at Redfeld or IN
Pierre to the credit Of the State Treasurer,
and It Is estimated that about $3.50, Is
missing with Taylor.
There was quiet run on the bank by
parties who had their suspicious aroused,
and the bank officials decided to close the
bank subject to examination. Cashier Hum,
phrey declares that depositors will be PAID
in full, as there Is an excess OF fully Sbo,oo
In good paper, besides about fortv per CENT
deposited in other banks.
The worst blow tails upon Taylor and his
bondsmen, many OF them leading business
men OF Redfeld. Taylor was last seen IN
Chicago, and thence went to New fork.
In his letter from New York he says: II
am compelled to inform you that l Will NOT
return to Redfleld or P.erre. 1 have count
ed on friends assisting me In making up my
settlement with the State, and felt that II
would be done until the last few days. l
have no excuse to offer for my condition, al
though balieye have many.
II has been known for some timethat Treas
urer Taylor was lard pressed. He was
caught In the Chemical National Bank fall
ure OF CHICAGO for large amount, and LOST
$4,000 In the bank at Mllbank, and Slo,0oO
IN t1at at Gettysburg, which failed during
panic. Altogether he lost $10O. 900. .5
Taylor has always had high reputation
az financier and man Of integrity. The
school fund NAV lose S50, 900. The whole
state Is torn up over the defslcation. State
officers are paralyzed. and no one KNOWS
either the amount taken or the metnod
used. .Ey
Il is utterly impossible to tell anything
about the amount. There are no RECORDS TO
show where the money Is deposited. Taylor
should have had on hand $s4e, 200. he had
ser aSlQe SlSV,VuU " Poy "oAAe "
were due In New York.
Three weeks ago Taylor went to New YORK,
and It is understood that he has been trying
to raise money to cover the. shortage. his
father is very wealthy and his connections
are so influential that 1t is surprise that ne
could not fix matters up. Mr.. Taylor. Sr., is
in Pierre, as is Ex-Governor Mellett, who was
the chiel bondsman. Other bondsmen are
Speaker Howard and Bob Mccoy. OF Aber-
deem. The total bond was $35O. 900.
Ifit Is large defalcntion, as the bonds
men appear to believe, It will place the State
In very embarrassing position. The limit
of Indebtedness has been passed Largely, no
paper or bonds can be sold, and there Is q
deficiency In revenue. It Is now Imp osslble
to make both ends meet.

HORSE THIEVES LYNCHED.
Vigilants Hang Three Captured In
Oklahoma.

News was received from Kinghsher'
oklahoma, OF the hanging OF three horse
thieves in the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
country. The settlers have been the victims
OF marauding bands OF horse and cattle
thieves, and finding the authorities too slow
In bringing offenders to justice, vigilance
committees were organized.
Horse thieves have been particularly bold
OF late, and the yigilants few days ago
started on the trail of one band, followed It
into the Panhandle OF Texas, back, Into the
Cheyenne country. and overtookit near Can
tonment. Here bloody battle was touSnt;
resulting in the wounding OF George Giskeh
and Simeon Campbell.
After several hours OF hard fighting tue
viyilants succeeded in routing and capturing
three OF the thieves. The prisoners refused
to give their names or make any disclosures
that would lead to the arrest OF the pand, OUT
were surly and defiant.
After few moments consultation the vigil
lants took the prisoners to a conVenlent
spruce tree, hanged them, riddled thelr
bodies with bullets and left them hanging as
q warning to their fellows.

THE CURRENCY BILL.
Rejection Of the Rule to Fix a Time
for a Vote.

A dispatch from Washington says: The
Carlisle Currency bill has been beaten in the
House OF Representatives by an indirect vote.
and there is little chance OF its being revived.
The test of strength came oD the
special rule brought in by direction OF the
Democratic caucus to limit the debate and
fix a time for a vote on the measure. The
rule was rejected first by a rising vote OF 90
to 101, and then on yea and nay vote by
124 10 l29.
The advocates of the bill saw that they
has been beaten in the preliminary skirmish,
and the order was withdrawn. This was
the first reverse the Committee on Rules had
suffered in four years. An analysis OF the
vote shows that all OF the l24 votes in favor
of the motion were cast hv Democrats,
while so Republicans, SO Democrats
and Populists voted against it. or the SO
Democratic votes against the motion. it WAS
pointed out that "a were cast by Democrats
defeated for reelection. Alter the vote the
Diplomatic and PostotAcs appropriation
bills were passed.
