SHOT HIMSELF.
Tragic End Of the President Of q
Failed Bank

EMPORIA (Kan.). Nov. 16.-This af-
ternoon the First National Bank of
Emporia was closed by order of the
Controller of the Currency An hour
later Charles S. Cross, the banks Pres
ident, and one of the best known breed
ers of Herefords in the West, shot and
killed himself at his farm near the
town
Speculation is said to have led to
Cross downfall. His fortune had
doubtless gone down with the bank.
Among the heavy losers by the failure
are Lynn County and the city of En-
poria. All the city and county funds
were deposited in the institution Cross
was custodian of his fathers estate,
which is also said to be in a wrecked
condition.
Cross ending was tragic. To the ma
iority Of the people of the town The
Controllers card on the door Of the
bans, came as surprise, but in finan-
cial circ'es, both here and in the State,
the result has been anticipated for six
months. Exa1c,iner Charles Topes, who
closed the bank on an order from the
Controller, has been going over it's
books for the past week. There was
smile on Cross face as he passed his
friends on the streets. He went imme-
diately to Sunny Slope farm, and,
speaking pleasantly to the employees,
passed into the bedroom of Manager
Evans house. When he did not come
out Evans entered the room. He found
the banker lying in a pool of blood,
with his pistol in his hand. Death
must have been instantaneous.
The news of the suicide was on the
streets of Emporia few minutes after
the card appeared upon the bank door,
and created most intense excitement
Small Withdrawals of deposits resulted
but most of the business kept faith in
the bank, and up to o'clock heavy
deposits were made

The mobilization of 10000 soldiers

when it is taken into consideration that
four weeks ago this country had a stand

Guards of the several states and terri

as compulsory service, as exists in all

The San Juan County Index remarks.
concerning the New MExIcAN's flag
fund:
"a good sized sum has been raised by
the SANTA FE New MEXICAN principally
among the ladies of the capital city for
the praiseworthy purpose Of purchasing
and presenting a suitable silk flag to the
cavalry volunteers. The flag is being
made and it is expected that the presen-
tation will take place in San Antonio.
An effort is being made to arrange an
excursion from Santa Fee for that pur.
pose. This is a creditable and patriotic
stroke Of enterprise on the part of our
contemporary, the New MEXICAN.
Right here it might just as well be re-
marked that the flag is nearly finished
and will leave the factory some day this
week. 1t will be kept here a couple Of
days on exhibition in the executive office
and will then be sent to San Antonio,
Tex, for formal presentation by Colonel
Wood to the New Mexico squadron.

As a means of giving New Mexico her

for the benefit of eastern and foreign
capitalists, the matter of increased and

treatment is a matter of both protection

an incentive to prospecting. Many
