The letter was addressed to Mr. Gibson, care
The bank referred to is the Second National
whose president, Mr. Beal, is the receiver for
the Maverick National Bank, in which
Mrs. Davidson claimed she deposited
most OF the money she borrowed from
Mrs. Stevens, and which she lost
temporarily through the failure of that
bank. 1t appears, however, that her de-
posit was only about $3.50, much of which has
been paid in the usual dividends to depositors
from time to time. There are few more divi-
dends to be paid, it is understood, and the last
one of these has been assigned by Mrs. David
son to Mrs Stevens in payment on the back in
terest on the notes.
Mr.. William Avery Carey of % Court street
has the matter in charge as Mrs. Stevens at
torney.
Mr.. ellison called at The Traveller Office this
morning. He said that he feared that lis sister
would never get back her money, but that if the
interest was paid promptlyi it would be of great
service to her. He finds it hard to believe that
Mrs. Davidson meant to deceive Mrs. Stevens.
He wrote to San Francisco several times, be-
ginning last winter. His sister has not heard
from Mrs. Davidson for some time.
She then wrote that 'for various reasons
she had changed her address, which used to be
Ellis street, san Francisco, and had not re-
ceiyed any letters from the East. The interest
on the money amounts to $3.50 year, but that
sum fails to materialiZe from Mrs. Davidson.
Neither note is due until after 1900, so
shrewdly did Mrs Davidson fix things with
her aged friend.
