During his life time he made quite

close out his business and return to

otherwise. For the past two years
he has suffered untold misery from
stomach troubles, and as he told the
writer, II am 80 lonely here, and

it that Mr.. Vega kept in his posses

BANKER MANSFIELD GONE
Charged With Fraud in the Rev
enue Law, He Skips for Parts
Unknown - His Accounts
Much Muddled Up-He
Leaves a Wife Be-
hind.

The sudden departure for parts un
known of Mr.. William A. Mansfield
the widely known "banker and bro
Kerr" who came to this city several
years ago, as mysleriously as he left,
and opened up general pawnbroker's
and paper shaving establishment at
No. Court street, has caused no little
surprise in this community.
When he came here he conducted
his business as if he had unlimited
capital and if appearances are not de-
ceptive he did land office business.
He shortly began a general bank king
business and advertised to allow six
per cent. on daily balances. AT first
he had numerous depositors, but lately
they dwindled down to very limited
numbers.
Although conservative people won
dered at his business methods and re-
fused to transact business with him,
no one considered him dishonest. and
even now the general impression is
that he was more sinned against than
SHINING. His accounts show that
many loaned money on individual
notes and security was never repaid
and an unlucky venture in business
enterprise completed the drain on his
resources. 1t is hardly possible that
this would now be written if certain
violations of the revenue laws charged
to his account had not threatened him
with arrest and prosecution. Lately
he had engaged in the selling of cigars
and cigarettes. 1t is said that he sold
other makes of goods under false pre-
fences and when it was made known
to the authorities Mansfield became
frightened and left town. Some time
ago he married a daughter of Mr..
Lare of this city, and Mr.. Samuel
Werthemer is her agent i'm settling up
the affairs of her husband The Cen
trail Bank has seized his effects left at
his office for rent and the depositors
are clamoring for their money that was
on deposit. His debts in this city are
considerable and an effort will be made
to capture him. 1t is also said that his
name was not Mansfield, but he used
the assumed name to avoid apprehen-
sion for former misdeeds. This, of
course, remains to be seen. His per-
sonal office effects will not amount to
over $500

Famous Springs at Deer Park.

A million and half gallons of the
purest water on earth, is the daily out
put of the famous Boiling Springs in
Garrett County, Maryland. In order
that nothing can contaminate the
springs, one hundred acres of land
surrounding it, are fenced in. In adj
dition, wire building covers the
springs, so that no leaves can fall into
the water. 1t is from these extraordi-
nary springs that the Deer Park Hotel
receives its water supply, the water
supply, the water being piped direct
to the hotel. The medical fraternity
now concede that in the matter of
health, the question of pure water
stands at the head and front. No
summer resort combines so many
healthful features. The air is wonder
fully pure and invigOrating; cool
nights, with absolutely no mosquitoes;
the finest cuisine, with perfect sani-
tary arrangements, makes Deer Park
Hotel the ideal resort.
