Sensational story Regarding a De-
fauItinE Bank Cashier.


DIES MONIES, Ia, Sept. 4-Nearly a
year ago c. o. Davies, cashier and
manager of the Citizens Exchange
bank of East Peru, Madison county,
wrecked the bank and disappeared with
$4,000 of its cash. He left absolutely
nothing in the little institution. which
was a private concern. Davies had
come from the east with good letters
and small amount of money and
started the bank. He was located in
New York after several months, where
he was running another bank in the
same way He was found to be an old
hand at the business. He was brought
back to Madison county and locked in
jail. After two months he and another
prisoner named Streeter escaped by
digging out of the jail. Posses of the
Infatuated farmers of Madison county
went to search for them, and caught
Streeter, but Davies was never found
and IS still ait large, unless the sensa-
tional story which has just come out is
true 1t Is said he was lyncfled by the
posse that caught Streeter.
The story is told by a man named
Ed Jones, who is now in Omaha. He
was in the Madison county jail at the
time Davies and Streeter escaped. He
tells the story that after Snreeter was
brought back, some of the vigilantes
called on him, and Jones overheard
their conversation. From it he learned
that Streeter and Davies had been to-
gether when the posse came upon them
in the woods. The farmers shot Davies
full of lead and then buried him.

York This decision was reached at a
conference of leaders in the movement
held in the quarters Of the national COM

noon Bynum will name the executive
committee of the national committee N
a FEW days Active work will be done.
Literature will be circulated and speakers
nut in the field. Both candidates will be
called upon to make some speeches. DuI
no oratorical tour will be attempted.
Tt is conceded by the active men in
the movement that the fight is to be
made in the states of Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa. Kentucky, Michigan and WIS
consfn. and Chicago was decided 70 be
the best location from which TO direct
the campaign. Mr.. Bynum will name

committee in a few days and active
work will be begun. Literature Will
be circulated and speakers put IN the
field. Both candidates will be called
11pon to make some speeches, but no
oratorical tour viii be attempted.
Mr.. Bynum, when seen by a repre-
sentative of the United Associated
Presses, was in a. happy frame of mind.
He said:
THE success or the 'SOunQ money
convention has far exceeded the most
sanguine expectations of its promoters
1 consider it's achievement the marvel
of American political history. The or
ganization perfected is no temporary
affair We have planted the seed of
true Democracy, and glorious will be
the productive fruit The banner Of
Democracy has been at last properly in
scribed ard we will calamity march be-
hind it to ultimate success 1t is my
opinion that the ticket nominated, rep
resenting as it does the blue and the
gray, signifying union forever, could
rot have been improved. The charac-
ter of the two men is beyond reproach-
They represent true soldiery and honest
public servants"
In reply to question as to how many
of the states represented in the con-
vention will place electoral tickets in
the field, Mr.. Bynum said:
" think nearly every state will do SO.
Of course, in a few sections where the
cause is absolutely hopeless, no cleo
toral ticket will be named. We will
make our fight where it viii do the
most good Although it is too early
to give any figures of our strength.

today. His majesty was accompanied
by the empress, who was attired in a
steel blue robe and wore the ribbon
of the order Of the Black Eagle. Both
of their majestieS were attended by
their full suites and were welcomed by
the civil and military authorities. The
weather was clear, warm and sunny.
After listening to the speech of well
come by President Seidewftz, the en-
peror unveiled the statue of Emperor
William 1 on the Zwingplatz. His maj
esty'S mien was very auStere and his
equanimity was still more disturbed by
the antics of the restless horse which
he rode. After the unveiling ceremonies,
however, the emperor got into lively
conversation with President Seidswitz
upon the merits of the monument.
Prince Hohenlohe accompanied the
emperor and looked worn and i'll.
y reception at the city hall followed
the unwilling ceremonies and the en-
peror and empress drank from a loving
cup in the Hall of the Princes, where
their majessies' received the formal
welcome of the city fathers.
The speech of welcome was made by
the burgomaster, and the emperor re-
piled to it, saying, in the course of his
remarks:
