escapades. and the last one was SINH
lar But the final escapade had some
thing TO do with General Funston and
the Twentieth Kansas and that was
why the encore made the hit of the

FINANCIAL PANIC OVER.
The Citizens National Bank of
Paso Robles Resumes Business.

PASO ROBLES, March 27.-Paso
Robles has the distinction of noting the
first recovery from the financial panic
in this county. The Citizens Bank
opened its doors and resumed business
as usual this morning. All is quiet
about the bank. The depositors are
satisfied.
Last week form of agreement to
draw only part of the deposits for
the next six months was sent to de-
positors to be signed and returned. The
plan met with the general approval of
depositors, consequently a large amount
of coin was received from San Fran
cisco with which to replete the bank.
Crops never looked better in this sec
ton. The growth during the last ten
days has been phenomenal, and boun-
tiful harvest is assured even without
the usual April showers.
The Bank of Paso Robles will re-
open as soon as the articles of incor-
poration are completed. Ample funds
are now in the Paso Robles Bank
awaiting the arrival of the articles of
incorporation.

WEsTENHAVER MURDER.
The Excitement in the Vicinity of
Hoytsvi1le Rapidly Subsiding.

BOWLING GREEN (O.), March 81
The excitement which has prevailed in
the vicinity of Hoytsville for the past
two days as result of the murder Of
Attorney Westenhaver, and the sensa-
tional resistance to arrest by the Zelt-
ner brothers, who did the killing, is
rapidly subsiding.
The Zeltner brothers are not inclined
to talk. When seen to-day, however,
by a reporter in the Jail here, they
stated that Westenhaver had goaded
them to desperation by threatening to
EXPOSE a crime with which they were
charged in Germany. They declare that
the killing of Wittenmeyer who was
among the crowd that surrounded the
Zeltner house, was accidental, and they
very much regret it. Westenhaver.
they say, had tried to rob them, and
they were not sorry for killing him.

THIRTEENTH MINNESOTA.
The War Department Did Not Pass
Censure on the Regiment.

WASHINGTON, March 27. Gov
ernor Lind of Minnesota has transmit
ted to Acting Secretary Meiklejohn the
action of the Minnesota Legislature re-
garding the censure generally passed
upon the officers of the Thirteenth Min
neSOta.
In reply the Secretary says it would
be impossible to hold the offenders of
the regiment in service after the men
had been mustered out, as all must be
mustered out together. He informs
the Governor that if the Colonel of the
regiment asks for a court of inquiry the
other officers can submit the evidence,
and it will be a matter of record. He
corrects the impression of the people Of
Minnesota that the War Department
has passed any censure on the regi-
ment, saying that such censure was by
the commanding General of the Second
Army Corps.

THREE BURGLARS CAPTURED.
Captured by a Young Man Without
Any Assistance.

NORWICH (O.), March 27.-Ralph
Hoyt, a we'll known young man Of
North Fairfield, without any assistance,
captured three heavily armed burglars,
who broke into and robbed the postof-
flee and a store at North Fairfield a few
nights ago.
The three burglars were tracked to
a barn four and a half miles from Fair
field by the print of new rubber boots
in the mud. The men, who were sound
asleep in the hay NOW, were dazed ana
astonished when awakened by the loud
call of Hoyt to get up and come along
with him.
Supplemented by a cooked Winches-

ed to Fairfield and handed over to the
authorities.
Hoyt will receive 5000 reward.

While the casualty list is a source of
profound regret in army quarters, it
is said to be comparatively low, consid-
ering the number of men enga ged and
the duration of the action. This is ac-
counted for by the long range shooting
of the insurgents, who do not shoot at
a mark, but in the general direction Of
our lines. While their stray bullets
do considerable heavy injury, it is far
less than the result of close range vol
leys from the ranks of insurgents in

Obituary.

On the morning of July I'd the spirit
of Mrs. Mary Huckstep took its fight,
leaving husband, a three weeks-old
babe, parents, brothers and sisters to
mourn her departure.
Although Mrs. Huckstep resided in
our vicinity but a few short years,
she was beloved by all her acquaint-
ances and leaves an assemblage OF
friends better for having known her.
The last rites were conducted by
Rev. p. A. Ostrander and the remains
were Inferred on the third of July.
1t seems sad that one in the bloom
of early womanhood should be taken
from our midst, but when we know
that she has only been transplanted in
fairer cline we can submisslvely
say: Thy will, o Lord, be done"
