A SAD STORY.

St. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 10
Sanford Murray, an old man,
was picked up on the streets,
where he had fallen from weak
ness. He was sent to the city
hospital and thereit was learn
ed that he had not tasted food
for several days. His condi-
ton is serious. Murray claims
to have built the capitol at
Santa Fe, N. NJ, and had sub
contracts for work on the state
capitols at St. Paul, Denver,
Cheyenne and Salt Lake City.
He said that at one time he
had plenty of money, but lost
it on a contract. About a
ago he took sick and
fell behind with his rent. When
he could no longer pay he was
evicted. and since then he has
been living on the streets.

Representative Schmidt, the likes
of who are the cause Of the deplora-
BILE condition of the country at the
present time, has introduced bill
to make the bondsmen of a defunct
bank preferred creditors. At present
the state is the only preferred credi-
itor, which is an outrage on the un
protected depositor, and if his bill
should become law it would give
the bondsmen the privilege Of pay
ing off the state and taking every
thing else in sight and putting it in
their pockets, beating the depositors
or giving them what they
please. It is wonder hesdid not in
troduce bill that if bank fails the
depositors would be compelled to
sign over everything TO the officials Of
the bank.
