INFECTED CATTLE
Shipped Into Cowley County Despite
Protest of inspector.

Winfield, Nov. 21-Word has reached
here that the cattlemen around Dexter
have been much stirred up during the
past week by the appearance of several
carloads of infected cattle. These cat
tie We're shipped in last Friday over
the Missouri Pacific from Arkansas by
Geo. Eddy living southwest of Burden,
and were covered with both the COM
mon and blue ticks and the dangerous
large fever tick.
Cattle Inspector ]. w. Chamberlain.
of Cofeyville was in Dexter Saturday
on his return from Eaton where he had
been called to inspect these cattle and
he seemed to consider it a very rank
infraction of the stringent health laws.
He seemed however to lay the fault
more upon the railroad employees than
upon Mr.. Eddy. The cattle were
brought up from Arkansas on the Iron
Mountain and were transferred at
Coffeyville to this line At that point
he repeatedly asked the conductor to
set out those cars so that he could have
them inspected, but they were pulled
on through in spite of his protesta-
TiOnS.

by the commission of your bank presents
a condition of the banks business and its
management which does not meet the ap-
proval of this board.
We find upon examination that the bank
has resources of 1874, ,465 Is, and that you
have as a cash reserve on hand in bank
the sum of $10,575 O2 and due from banks
the sum of $40 4S3 Is, making a total of
s51. .O5S 81.
This sum is only fraction over per
cent of your deposit liability. In bank
of the character and Importance of the
Union Savings Bank, doing the business
which it does, you should under no cir
cumstances let its reserve fall below 20
per cent in cash of the depositors' liza
bility.
The sum now held by you is by this
commission considered far below the
limit and may cause serious results. 1t is,
in fact, unsafe banking and dangerous in
the extreme.
Again, we find you are sanctioning a
practice which this commission has al
ways condemned, viz, permitting over
drafts to such an extent as is dangerous,
especially so in the cases of Howard &
Co., ]. F. Devendorf, Jersey Laundry
Tract Thomas E. Johnson and the Santa
Clara Fruit Exchange. You have permit
ted Howard & Co. to draw from your
bank the enormous sum of $141, ,72S so, for
which amount you have not even taken
promissory note. In addition to this sum
you have advanced to him the further
sum of SS6, 500 as a commercial loan, max
ing a total of $22S, 200.
This is unsafe banking and very dan
gerous for a bank under any circum-
stances, and especially so of bank with
a capital of only $500. 900
1t is nearly one-fourth OF your loan re-
sources.
