A Mail Thief Sentenced

SAN Francisco, Jan. Judge w.
w. Morrow, in the United States dis
trict court, sentenced Simon Bendit
six month Imprisonment In the state
prison at San Quentin. The defend
ant had previously pleaded guilty n
the charge OF having stolen package
OF mail matter from private letter
box. Bendit was arrested on the 18th
OF last month at the instance OF Postal
Inspector Irwin. Upon the person of
the prisoner was found package OF
gloves that had been mailed in Los
Angeles by n. Strauss & Co., and di-
rected 10 Sternberger X KaiisheT, OF
this city. Later, the firm failed TO
receive the gloves, and the package
found upon Bendit was identified as
the one mailed In the Southern city.
Realizing the hOpelessness OF his case,
Bendit pleaded guilty and made a
speech begging ror mercy. Taking
into consideration the action OF the
defendant in not forcing the issue TO
trial, Judge Morrow imposed a light
sentence.

Banker Killed Himself.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Jan. 1.-GeOrgC
b. wilkins, Yice-president Of the Com
merclal National bank, of Selma
which failed Tuesday, committed
suicide by shooting himself through
the head in the Episcopal church at
Selma, at O'Clock this morning. He
had been treasurer OF the church foI
80 years.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The Evening
Post yesterday says:
Some very unpleasant stories were
In circulation this morning In con-
nection with the failure of the COM
mercial bank, of Selma, Ala, which
was announced Thursday, These ru-
mors included talk of the existence of
fraudulent or forged paper, which it
was said, had becn put out by the
bank. So far as can be ascertalned
today, the only basis for this report
was the sale by the vice-preaident OF
the bank, George wilkins, to firm
of foreign bankers in this city OF a
draft In: relchmarks equivalent to
about $4,000 which was subsequently
returned unpaid from Germany. The
draft bore the Endorsement, of course
of the Selma bank, and when it was
returned unpaid, the foreign bankers,
1t is said, obtained security for pay
ment of the draft, but what explena-
tion was given for the drawing and
sale of an authorized draft is not
known.
Vice President wilkins sold the
draft when he was lust passing
through town" 1t was said today
that the total amount owed by the
bank for borrowed money in this city,
Louisville, Cincinnati and Chicago is
about 100000.

A Close Call.

Thursday evening about O'Clock
T. A. King had very narrow escape
and came near closing the old year in
another world. He was driving down
Mission street just south Of j, III. AL
bert's residence, and attempted TO
ford the creek below the bridge as
usual, but before driving in he re-
quested his little daughter to cross
on the bridge afoot, which clrcum-
stance probably saved the lives of
both Mr.. King and the lady with
him. The creek had greatly raised
during the day, and before Mr.. King
realized IT his team was beyond its
depth and unmanageable. The little
girl hastily called o. III. Fay, who
lives near by, and that gentleman
with his son brought a lantern and
rescued the team and hack and its
occupants from their unpleasant
predlcament.

Brave Words It Chsitaooosa.

There were brave words at Chatta-
nooga on Orchard Knob, Monday, when
the monuments there erected to Penn
sylvania heroes who fell there were
turned over to the national govern
ment. Better than all, these words
were uttered by brave men renowned
for brave deeds, many of which Were
done in that glorious amphitheatre Of
seven hard earned Union victories that
finally gave to the Unionists possession
of the geographical center of the
Southern Confederacy and the gate
way to the central South. Here for
three months in 1868 nearly 200, 200
men of the same country fought with a
valor and sacrifice seldom equalled. In
the charge of the famous Light Bril-
gade at Balaklava the per cent. of loss
was only 1861 and at bloody Chicka-
manga, one of the seven great contests
fought in the immediate vicinity Of
Chattanooga, and one of the deadliest
in history, the average losses of the
two great armies were fully 80 per cent.
and In some portions of the line went
as high az rs per cent. Furthermore it
is said on the most reliable authority
that there probably is no field in the
world which presents more formidable
