ATCHISON BANK RECEIVER
Leland and Curtis May Lock Horns
Over the Appointment

Washington, D. C., Sept 14.-Comp-
troller of the Currency Charles G.
Dawes has taken up the question of ap-
pointing a receiver for the wrecked At
Gibson National bank. Five applica-
tiOns for appointment to the lucrative
Office of receiver have been filed with
the comptroller and probably that many
more whose applications have not been
filed are under cOnSidera ton
Comptroller Dawes is finding it hard
er to meet the exigencieS of the politi-
cal situation than it is to select a re-
ceiver who viii embody all the financial
requirements. Because of the fight be-
tween Representative Curtis on the
one hand and Senator Baker and ''Cy''
Leland on the other, the selection may
be delayed for some time.
The applications for receiver filed
with the comptroller up to date are:
Frank CrOwel, Atchison; W W. Fa-
gan, Johnson county; John Watts,
Newton; r. a. Parke, jr., Atchison; J.
W. Harris. Nortonville. Among those
being considered, but who have failed
to apply are; David Aud. w T. Don
aid and w F. Guthrie. all of AtchisOn,
and J. NJ Simpson of Mcpherson.
It is understood here that Senator
Baker and Cy Leland have indOrsed
Frank CrOweu, county attorney of
Atchison county, and that they are in
sisting upon his selection 1t is like
wise known that CrOweIl IS an anti
Curtis man and for that reason he may
not be named.
Representative Curtis has not, up to
this time, indOrsed anyone, but Comp
trOIler Dawes will not act hastily where
the congressman's interests are attack
ed
The comptroller said today that the
impression that an outsider would be
selected was based on no tangible
ground. There is no treasury rule, he
says. which would bar any citizen of
Atchison from competing for the ap-
pointment if he had no connection with
the wrecked bank. It is usually the
custom to select a local man because
of his understanding of the local stu
alton, the only requirement being that
he must not have been connected off,
cially with the failed institution.

seiIs-Forepaugh Show Entertains
Large Crowds.

Large Crowds
The Forepaugh-S Sells circus has come
and gone and the sheriff was unable to
serve legal papers on one of the Sells
brothers.
The reason was that members of the
Sells family are almost afraid to set
foot within the limits of the county, for
they have had enough legal notices
big top tent Lewis Sells, the man
Sheriff Cook was looking for, did not
come with the show and the papers are
unserved.
The big tent was packed both after
noon and night. There was nothing
particularly new, although some of the
acts were especially good The Han
Ions executed daring fea+s on the fly
ing trapeze and then dove head first for
the net many feet below.
The clowns were better than usual
and the burlesque 'Soo-SoO" band was
really funny. The sliding trombone

was a success. There was just enough
tune in his blowing for the audience to
recognize Say Au RevOir." He stood
on one foot and blew and gaZed. When

The boxing match between kid Nc

than the average match of the kind.
Corbett was very tall and the Kid was
very small and the big man had it all
his own way.
Marietta COrea, Emma Stickney and
May Davenport did their three ring

rel a particle. The school of trained
seals brought forth a good amount of
applause.
In the black tent on the outside the
battles around Manila were fought by
a picture machine on a canvass. In the

smiles on the audience and then on the

that no one can run him.

is in jail at Barbourville, Ky. on a
charge of assault with intent to kill
committed in Kansas years ago.

The fugitive finally settled down at

James s. Black. He engaged in the
banking business and was at the time
of his arrest participating in some i'm
