CASHIER BROUGHT BACK,

Edgerton, Wis, Nov 90 Cashier
Charles L. Burnham of the Bank of
EdgertOn returned to Edgerton last
night in the custody of Sheriff Ache
son, who went to Minnesota for him.
He was arrested on a charge of receiv-
ing money after he knew the bank
was insolvent, but it is expected that
other charges in connection with the
failure will be preferred against him.
The warrant upon which the cashier
was arrested was sworn out by Ed
ward Peters, who had a claim for
$120. Burnham will doubtless be
held for trial. There is a movement
to bring about the appointment of
another receiver for the bank on &C
count of the personal interest in the
bank which the present receiver has.
Some 225 depositors have petitioned
the court to have George Sutherland
appointed receiver in place of Mr.
Towne.

bushes serve as weathercocks, as they
