oUssEN's KEYS
The Safe Deposit Case Complicated BY
Discovery


James Cussen thinks he will try to COM
pei the Southern California Savings bank
to make restitution to him Of $500 which he
claims was distracted from ons.,of theis
boxes, where he had placed it last April.
Cussen says he is moved IN. this. direction
by the discovery Of "a sort Of discrepancy
in the keys" which the bank officials had
supplied to him for entering his deposit box.
When Mr.. Cussen rented the box he re-
ceived two keys, supposed to be duplicates.
He said he had understood the reason for
supplying customers with two keya was be-
cause many Of their clients sent agents t.
go to the boxes. '-Cussen says he never
opened the box but four times. Yesterday
he and a companion examined the keys
closely and discovered that instead Of being
duplicates they were dissimilar. Together
they visited the bank andsthere requested
W. D. Woolwine, the, cashier, to allow the
companion to open the boxr Mrs. Woolwine
asked that written order be given, him by
Cussen, which was done. Mr.. Woolwine
afterwards asked that Cussen open the box

e5. The other key was then used, and the
door was easily unlocked.
Mr.. Cussen said last night that he thought
the time had come for him to take some ac-
ton against the bank people for the recov-
cry of his money. He said that he thought
he would institute action against them In
the courts. He is of the opinion that in some
manner he received the wrong key and the
duplicate which properly is his Is either in
the bank or held by some one else. He Is
positive in his statement that In no way
could the exchange have been made since
he received the keys. He had never loaned
them to any one and he had never deputized
q soul to enter the box.
On the other hand, the bank is as positive
that both the keys issued by the bank were
numbered 345 and that the exchange was
made in some manner after Cussen received
them.

HORSE ADDICTED TO LIQUOR
Topeka Equine Consumes Large Guam
titles Of Whisky

Topeka, Kan, poss eSSes a curiosity in the
shape of horse addicted to the liquor hab-
it. The equine tippler is Dan, one Of the
team used on the patrol wagon of the city
police department Dan has been In the
habit of taking his daily grog for number
of years, but the matter has lways been
kept secret among the men having charge
of him. He acquired the habit as many
people have, through having II prescribed
BY the veterinary during spell Of sickness.
Under the use Of the stimulant the horse re-
covered.
When he was given the first dose he re-
belled, and 1t was only with the aid of force
that It was administered. He gradually
acquired taste for 1t, which grew into an
Unsuitable appetite. The officers contin-
ued the doses long after the equine patient
recovered. Frequent raids on the joints In
the city, where all liquor found was confis-
Gated, furnished ample opportunity for the
patrol driver to indulge Dams appetite,
1t came to be expected that the horse was
to receive his allowance of half-pint be-
fore each meal. He became so accustomed
to this that he would refuse to eat and paw
the floor when his keeper neglected him.
On July the police department changed
hands, and Topeka has been the scene Of
a temperance crusade ever since.
The practice Of giving whisky TO Dan
was discontinued; he lost considerable flesh
and became incapacitated for duty on the
wagon. In order to test the matter his
present driver has been giving him his al
lowance for the past four days. He be-
gan showing signs of recovery and Is again
at work. Those who have watched the
horse say that he is as graceful a drinker
as any man and that he does not require
chaser" Within the past two weeks Dan
has commenced the use OF chewing tobacco,
and now uses as much Of the weed as the
majority OF men.
