SPANGLER is CONVICTED.
Guilty Of Receiving Deposits At
ter Bank was Insolvent.
FAMOUS CASE ENDED.
There Are Many More Suits Still
Hanging Against the Con-
victed Cashier.

Neillsville Wis, Nov. Al Special. l.
John Spangler was this morning found
guilty Of unlawfully receiving deposits
at the Bank of Dorchester after it was
insolvent and he had a knowledge of its
insolvency.
Originally John Schafer & Co. was the
store name under which John SchafeI
and John Spangler were doing business
in this county. In 1896 a bank was or
ganized under the same name with John
Schafer as president and John Spangle1
as cashier. The firm also conducted a
store at Ironwood, Mich, under the same
name until about October 1898. at which
time, the defense allege their interest in
the Ironwood store was sold to George
Varney and about the same time the
name or the bank was changed to the
Bank OF dorchester. 1t now appears that
the new hrm at Ironwood continued to
use the stationery and credit of Schafer
d Co.. and in December 1898. creditors
or the IronWood firm applied to the Bank
OF dorchester to liquidate these claims.
The bank management there, upon advice
OF attorneys and while asserting that the
bank was solvent, protested their lia bility
for the debts of the Ironwood firm. vet
fearing the results of a run on the bank
II suit We're begun, assigned. This was
on January 2 Or 3 of the present year.
Suit was begun against Mr. Spangler in
March last for unlawfally receiving de.
posits knowing the bank to be insolvent
This suit therefore is a trial question
on that charge, and while the amount
alleged to have been unlawfully received
is only 80. it is only one case of sever
al which may be brought under the same
ruling.
The defense has been that the bank.
when it closed its doors, was solvent and
that the management was forced to as
sign precipitately through no act or neg
ligence of it's own. John Schafer, one
of the bankers, died a few weeks ago.

and forced him across the ring, when
they came to clinch in which Shar-
key forced Jim's head back with
his elbow under the jaw. Again
they came to a clinch, from which they
had to be broken by the referee, with
Sharkey holding. Jim jabbed his left to
Toms face and staggered him. Sharkey
clinched and after the bell rang sent his
right over to the head as the referee
was forcing them apart.
ROUND TWENTY -FOUR.
Jeff was quicker this time and met
Sharkey's rush. They clinched, and
after the break Tom sent his right over
to neck. jeff stabbed his left lightly to
face. Sharkey tried his left, but fell
short and received a right smash on the
ear. jeff seems,to be improving steadily,
and as Tom came in close to him, jim
shot right to Toms chin. Sharkey
clinched again, and after they broke
Jim reached the sailor with a right
swing on the ear. Sharkey still kept
boring in, but Jim met him every time
with a left or right hook on the head
Sharkey clinched frequently, but Jim
kept pushing him off. Tom rushed
back, swinging left and right wildly for
the head, but failed to land, and Jim
caught him with the right ON the jaw.
They were clinched at the bell, with jeff
Qecldedly the better man.
ROUND TWENTY FIVE.
They shook hands good -naturedly JEFF
led for the head, but Sharkey ducked.
Again jeff led, but once more Tom was
clever and ducked away from him. Both
swung rights. Toms were blocked, but
Jim's were landed quite frequently. They
clinched and in the break Jim hooked his
left to Toms ear, the sailor returning
with right on body. Tom kept coming
to his man, but was met with uppercut
on chest and a clinch followed Jeff
sent his right to the head and body with
Tom hooking his rights back of head.
Tom swung his right viciously for the
head, but fell short and Jim hooked left
hard to jaw, staggering the sailor. In a
In clinch Tom slipped to the floor, pull
ing Jim's left glove with him as he
fell. Referee picked up the glove and
tried to adjust it; meanwhile Sharkey
tried to get at the Californian. Jeff
broke away from the referee as Sharkey
led for him with his right and jim sent
his right over Sharkey's shoulder. The
referee then got between them and as he
did SO the bell rang, ending the fight.
The referee then declared jeff the Win
ner.

Don't Worry.

Mrs. Langtry was once asked BY a
New York Society woman" how she pre-
served her beauty. ''What do you do
not to have a wrinkle?"
Il don't worry, my DEAR" was her only
answer. The idea and suggestion We're
not new. The society woman" who is
well known in New York, and at present
in the ultrafashionable set, took the
hint. She has tried for several years not
to worry, with good effect, and people
who do not know her age, take her for
ten years younger. This is how she tried
mot to worry" AS soon as anything
would happen to worry her she began by
repeating to herself the two words, "don't
worry" don't worry over and over
again, until it got to be habit with her.
Now, she says she don't have to say,
don't worry" She simply does not al
low herself to become excited and nerv-
Gus. A matter of self-control. She has
money, health and beauty. But still she
has, as every other woman, other things
to worry her. 1t would not be fair to
give her name!-New York Evening Tel

NETTING QUAIL IN EGYPT.

Chicago Inter Ocean,
There has been much said lately of the
capture of quails in Egypt in regard to
the protest made by Frenchmen about
carrying birds across French territory
for English use. The passage of bands
OF quails over the coast of the delta of
the Nile, from Port Said to Alexandria,
begins in September and lasts a month
and half, the birds arriving in little
groups
Generally they are taken by means of
nets five meters high, which the natives
extend on cords fastened to poles. in the
FASHION OF curtains gliding on their rods.
In reality the net Is double The first
near the side Of the sea Is of meshes
very large and loose. but at the back is
another net where the bird will really
come and perch itself in the folds formed
by this net Of small meshes
There is another method of capture
which Is more picturesque Rows of
dried branches are placed on the shore.
AT the foot of each branch is disposed
a tuft of fresh herbs in the middle OF
which is arranged an opening which ends
In snare. The quail tired by it's jour
ney, takes refuge In the branch. then in
the bunch of herbs. naturally. without
nguring to itself that it is going to put
itself into trap where a native will
surprise and kill It, With these means
OF destruction, 1t is not astonishing that
each year more than a million of these
birds are taken.

pressed. and much of 1t Is covered with
an abundant growth of vegetation, con-
s1stfng mostly Of purslain and grass.
Near the center Of the island are thickets
of sman trees covering an area of many
acres. The eastern side of the island Is
composed of a succession Of ridges, gen.
orally of sand and shells. At earlier
stages of the island growth these may
have successfully formed the weather
shore. Bits OF pumice and drifting wood
are scattered all over the island. There
are no springs on the island, but water
may be obtained by digging few feet.
In the center the island spreads out In
a plain containing 400 or 800 acres. This
is susceptible of cultivation, but the ISL
and would be valueless were 1t not for
it's coral and guano deposits. The guano
covers the entire middle part from north
to south, and Is from six inches to four
feet IN depth. At the time Of Com
ruander Meades visit In 1872 the guano
export was about 5000 tons annually.
Considerable coral was also being eX-
ported.

POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE.

Some time ago the G o e mentioned
r. G. Evans for governor and, by the
way, 1t was the first paper in the Twin
Cities to publish the fact that his friends
were quietly working to place his name
at the head Of the state ticket. Mr..
Evans boom was not born yesterday, by
any means, for his friends have been at
work for some time. Mr.. Evans himself
is not saying anything for publication on
the gubernatorial question. He Is not eX-
pected to say much for some months yet.
He is wise enough to see that in politics
the early bird does not always catch the
worm. Hennepin Republicans are con-
f1dent Of Bob's success If he should make
the race. Neither Van SAINT nor Collins
would find any sympathy for their cause
here Both would be sidetracked SO far,
not one Republican has been found who
does not favor Evans for governor. A
local organ says that the Hennepin Re-
publican association is booming Evans,
and insinuates that this is the only sup
port he can count on as yet in this coun-
ty. This is a mistake. He Is the choice
of Hennepin's Republicans beyond ques-
ton.
The friends of County Auditor Minor
are not little bit delicate about saying
that he will be candidate for renomina-
ton, though 1t was given out some time
ago that he would not seek renomina
tion being satisfied with two terms. This
announcement will necessarily upset the
plans of a number of would-be auditors.
Some of the men who would like to fill
the place are at present employed in the
auditors office, and will endanger their
present positions by continuing in their
present attitude towards their superior.
A prominent court house employe told
the G o e yesterday that County Audi
tor Minor would not be a candidate for
denomination next time unless he saw his
way pretty clearly; that his office force
understands his position, and will do just
what he suggests. If this is SO, a proper
understanding will be arrived at long be-
fore the public Is called upon to ratify
the programme at the caucuses. To all
appearances the county auditors official
family are more than happy.
A LEGAL newspaper is making good
deal of noise over the selection of a can
didate for clerk of courts. The logical
candidate on the Republican side Is
Deputy Henry Altnow, but for some un-
known reason the newspaper in question
has already espoused the candidacy Of
e. A. Allen, clerk Of the municipal court,
the office in question, and is already ia
mliiar with all its details. His friends,
who are many. think he is entitled to
Clerk Dickey's place, and say when the
time comes Allen will withdraw On the
other hand, Aliens friends are confident
of his success and say If he is nominat-
ed and elected he will purchase a new
broom, and use 1t freely on the present
office force. The scramble is an interest
ing one, and will be watched closely by
friends of both candidates.
