A KANSAS BANK CLOSED
BANK EXAMINER PLACED IN CHARGE
OF THE ATCHIsON NATIONAL.
One Deposition Permitted to Draw Out
$4,000 just Before the Doors of
the Institution Were Shut.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The controller Of
the currency to-day closed the doors of the
Atchison National Bank of Atchison, Kan
According TO its report of June so last the
bank had 4 capital of 1000; surplus and
undivided dividends. s11 1856; due depositors,
s1S9, 1853; circulation outstanding, $4,000; to-
tai resources and liabilities, $295,54S c. S.
Jobes, national bank examiner for Kansas,
has been appointed temporary receiver The
suspension of the bank is due, generally
speaking. to bad investments
ATCHISON, Kan, Sept. 5.-There was
some excitement when at noon to-day notice
was placed on the door of the Atchison
National Bank stating that the controller
had closed the concern. The bank was or
gained twenty years ago by Milton Barratt,
recently deceased. w. F. Guthrie, attorney
for the bank, in a statement says the fail
ure is due to bad investments made by Mr..
Barratt. Norman Barratt, the founder s
SON, and now president of the bank, is the
principal stakeholder. When notified a few
days ago by the controller that $4,000 of the
banks paper would have to be charged off
as bad and be made good by the stock
holders President Barratt made strenuous
but ineffective efforts to raise the amount.
Mr.. Barratt, who is at the Bryan Hotel I'M
der the care Of a physician, could not be
interviewed. 1t is estimated the banks as
sets will pay from 50 TO 80 cents on the dol
lar. The county has $4,000 deposited in the
bank, secured by the American Security
Company. Some comment is made on the
fact that one depositor withdrew $1,000 this
morning before the failure was announced.
1t is stated that Norman Barratt was liter
ally both president and cashier, although
Charles Barratt was known as cashier. The
directors are s. F. Stoll, of Atchison; B. +.
Denison, of Lincoln, Neb., Mrs. Norman
Barratt's father. and H. Solomon, of Kan
saS City.

2:O7 Pace OF the Grand Circuit Meet
Goes to Royal r. sheldon Also
In Straight Heats.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-The weather was
perfect for the second day of the Grand Cir
cult meeting of the Empire City Trotting
Club and nearly 5000 people were In atten-
dance. in spite of the fact that the card was
light. The first event of the day was the
2:07 pace, for which Royal r. Sheldon was
the favorite at 30 to 50 for the field. The
race was quickly decided as the favorite
won in straight heats and seemed to have
lot to spare. The Speedway purse, which
was supposed to be the big event OF the day,
was reduced by the blue pencil to only three
starters the well known roadster Newcastle
selling favorite at IS to 10. The race was
practically match between the favorite
and Mcmillan. the latter winning the de-
Gliding heat
The best race of the day was the 2:l6 trot.
in which there were eleven starters. The
chestnut mare Precision was the favorite at
40 to so. the field end believing that the
gray gelding Surpol could win. They were
justified by the result. as Surpol won in
straight heats with quite a little to spare.
Tomorrow. in addition TO the regular
programme. there will be a mile dash for
the 2:10 class. and the 2l4 class will also
be added. To-day's summaries:

Western League standing.

1t was upon a summer day,
The hottest OF the year,
The players got upon the spot
To give the folks good cheer.
The rooters sizzled on the boards.
And vainiy wished the Miliers dished
Three straight by Buffalo.
Now. Hartzell is mighty man,
And this i do aver:
He stood so brave. and with his stave.
He soaked three-bagg-er.
There followed him the brave Frank Motz.
Who snote the ball so well.
That although Hart played well his part.
: 1t scored young Hartzell.
But in the second came up Vaughn,
And exc he smote for three;
And on the plays OF other jays
A score was got by he-
Now, Spies next got base on balls.
And Haskell sprained his voice;
But 10! on Spies there were some hies,
And Denzer got choice.
Then Kautz and Geier singled each,
And the rooters in the sun.
Saw Roger skate across the plate.
And swipe another run.
Now gone was all the rooters' hope.
And great their miseree:
Strong men wept tears as big as beers,
A piteous sight to see.
But hip, hooraw! and hip. hooray!
There came on inning five:
And Aliens men revived again,
And showed they were alive.
For fearless Hickey saved the day,
When everything was blue,
BY batting out, SO good and stout.
And getting bases two.
And Heydon would have sacrificed.
And died the Saints to beat;
But DenZer dropped the ball and stopped
To pound 1t with his feet.
Then Newton singled good and true,
And Hoggie's suicide,
A man did place on every base,
And scored run beside.
A base on balls next Hartzell got,
And Rogers day was done;
In deepest woe he saw them go
And walk the winning run.
For one more run the Paulines took
But fate had said them nay:
For none can do the Hoosiers true
II they're inclined to play!
