ANOTHER BANK CRASH.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 1.-The Omaha
Savings bank failed to open it's doors
this morning, and is in the hands of
the state banking board \ meeting
of the clearing house was held yes
terday, a most unusual proceeding
on holiday, and it lisp resumed they
took the action which caused the saw
ingS bank to close.
The Federal life saving crew at
Evanston We're Immediately notified
and began n quick search for the body.
A tug was also wired for to come
from Chicago for the same purpose
Mr.. Hammond was vice president of
the National bank and active i'll it's
management; in fact is said to have
been the responsible head, since Presi-
dent Schneider was too feeble to do
much work. The large loans to the
Calumet Electric Co. particularly. and
to others which resulted in the closing
of the bank, are understood to have
been made through Mr.. Hammond.
The first open charges against the
business integrity of Mr.. Hammond
were made only about ten days ago.
Then he was accused of enacting the
character of a "kiter." He was ac-
cused of deceiving the directors of the
bank. the depOsitOrs. and deliberately
violating the national bank law. His
alleged irregularities were said to
have begun many years ago when it
is alleged he began to use the money
and credit of the bank in outside spec
ulatiOnS. This was done in such
manner that not only were the direc-
tors deceived but the bank examiners
as well. Even the old employees Of
the bank, thoroughly familiar with
the inside workings of it, were said
TO have been unaware of what was 60
ing on under their eyes. When it was
openly charged that the second vice
president had falsified the bank ac-
counts an investigation was suggested.
The irregularities must have begun at
least four years ago. At this time
Mr.. Hammond is said to have inter-
ested himself in the now famous Cal
umet Electric railway. 1t is now be-
lieved that the first OverdraftS to this
railroad. amounting to $4,000, were
made at this time, when the comp
troller of the currency Immediately
called for a statement from the bank
and Hammond disguised the irregu-
larities by designating the overdrafts
as foreign exchange"

YOUR TIRED STOMACH.

Il have no appetite" you say, land
the little / do eat does me no good.
At first it feels dead and cold in my
stomach and by and bye have aches
and pains that sometimes 90 to my
chest and back. 1 feel weak, low
spirited and out of sorts all over. l
fancy the demon of dyspepsia has got
me-" That's the way you talk and no
wonder But wait a moment. Let
us reason together. Perhaps thus far
your stomach is merely tired. You
have been eating too much, eating the
wrong things, and irregularly. You
have given it too much to do, and like
all living things, when Overworked,
it stops at length from sheer exhaus-
ton. There may not actually be a
diseased condition as yet. Still it is
natures warning, and you must heed
it or worse will follow. But | must
eat or starve," you say. True enough,
but safety usually lies in middle
courses. Here is one for you. You
don't need drastic purges or exciting
StimulantS. The tired stomach won't
work under whip and spur. 1t has
probably had too much of that al
ready. What you require is some
thing that is at once a food. Such
an article is the Shaker Digestive Cor
dial. discovered and prepared by the
Shaker community at Mt. Lebanon.
n. Y. Taken right after eating, so as
to mix with the food. it does the stom-
ach's work for it, gives it the advan-
tage of further rest, strengthens you
in natural way, and soon enables the
stomach to do full duty. There is
nothing else, like this simple. safe,
certain and palatable remedy. Yet
the Shakers respect your doubts. and
authorize druggists to sell a trial bot
tie for ten cents.

Running Fight Before His Capture.
The Fugitive Finally Brought to

the Tragedy.
Quitman Ca. July 1O-Lee Hammond.
a white man, was killed at Pidcock last
night about y O'Clock by a negro named
Scott. and Scott was to-day shot through
the shoulder by Sheriff Connolly while
resisting arrest, he in turn shooting a
member Of the sheriff's posse through the
arm with a load Of buck shot
Hammond was lumber inspector, who
had worked off and on for a number of
pany. He had been absent from Pidcock
for a number of months but had returned
several days before the shooting.
Scott was mulatto barber at Pidcock
and came originally from Milledgeville.
Friends of Hammond claim that the
shooting was the result of an old feud be-
tween the parties was entirely without
provocation. and that Hammond was shot
in the dark without warning.
On the other hand, Scott claims that
Hammond and some other white men had
threatened to whip him and shot at him
several times last night before he fired the
fatal shot
Scott having fed Immediately after the
shooting the authorities at Pidcock wired
Ed McRae to bring his dogs to the scene
10 run the fugitive to cover To-day Nc
Rae, Sheriff Connolly and a posse com
posed of several white men and negro
named Walthour, reached Pidcock and be-
gan the pursuit, but the dogs were not
able TO follow the trail and had 10 be
abandoned, and a house to house search
instituted instead. The posse after scour-
ing the country for miles, were about TO
abandon the search, but before doing so
found a neat negro house three or four
miles from town with the doors and
windows fastened. Sheriff Connolly went
to the front door and called Scott to come
out, as though he were known to be in the
house. Receiving no answer he began to
force the back door, when suddenly Nc
Rae fell on his horses neck and halloed
to Sheriff Connolly to look out Scott had
suddenly opened the front door, covered
McRae with his gun and as McRae hug
ged his horse started on run, gun IN
hand. Sheriff Connolly emerged from
the rear of the house
and began firing on the fleeing negro with
a H-caliber pistol. The sheriff's shots
were wild till the fifth was fired, when
Scott showed signs of being hit, and be
gan to make for a convenient swamp. At
this point Sheriff Connolly stopped to re-
load his pistol and McRae and Walthour
took up the chase. AS Scott entered the
swamp he turned and fired on Walthour,
shooting him through the arm with buck
shot. Sheriff Connolly again took the lead
and after entering the swamp forty or
fifty yards found Scott lying on his face
Frustrated from his wounds. Connolly
Tipped the cuffs on his captive and brought
him here to-day. Scotts wound was
through the shoulder and is not fatal. He
is now in Jail. His wound was dressed
by the county physician.
