RUN ON THE STOUGHTON BANK
Frightened Depositors Get Their Money
Without Trouble.

A dispatch from Stoughton to the
Sentinel of yesterday. says:
Owing to the recent failure of the
Dane County bank and the frequent
visits of Bank Examiner Kidd to the
Stoughton State bank since that time. a
number of depositors in the latter insti-
tuition took fright, and when it's doors
were opened Wednesday morning, lined
the sidewalk in front of the bank for
rods. Cashier Dow was equal to the
emergency, and paid them off as fast as
they handed their checks and certif-
Gates over the counter. The rush con-
tinued with little abatement until about
2:30 p. ~, when the depositors seeing
that their demands were being meet as
rapidly as they were made, ceased draw
ing, and from that time until the doors
of the bank were closed at 6, more money
came in than went out. The StOughtOn
State bank has been in existence since
1877, and during all that time Mr.. Robe
Dow has acted as cashier. 1t has always
been considered one of the soundest and
safest institutions in the city.
What surprises Stoughton people is
that banking secrets which could only
be obtained by an investigation of the
banks affairs should be known by many
persons. Cashier Dow says he is pre-
pared to pay the creditors of the bank as
fast as their claims are presented and
the business men of our city believe
they can do it and have made their
regular deposits as usual.
The bank has always enjoyed the con-
fidence of the public, as is evinced by
the amount of it's deposits, which on
July Sd amounted to 1924, 1858 for both
time and demand deposits. The capital
stock is $4,000, all S., 400 of which is
held by members of the Dow family,
George Dow, the president, holding $12,-
900; Mrs. Belle G. Dow $4,000; Robe
Dow Srs 81, 800; R. N. Dow 81, 100; Robe
Dow, Jr., 800; Giles Dow 500: E. A.
Burdick of Edgerton $4,000; Mrs. Olivia
johnson of Stoughton 81 400.

DAMAGE DONE BY HAIL.
Tobacco Injured i'm Several Sections.


The storm of last Friday afternoon
brought with it the first hail stones that
has visited the tobacco growing sec
tions in southern Wisconsin. While the
storm covered limited area, few to-
bacco growing towns in the northern
| part of Rock county, two distinct streaks
of hail that did considerable damage
along it's track. One strip varying from
half to mile and a half in width fol-
lowed the Catfish river through the
eastern part of Porter into Fulton, pass
ing across the township in southeast
erly direction into portions of GAINESVILLE,
Harmony and Johnstown. The intensity
of the hail varied and some crops along
I the track of the storm were injured but
slightly while others were almost ruined.
Altogether, possibly dozen fields were
badly cut and others were sprinkled
more or less.
Another distinct streak of hail passed
over the towns of Rock and LaPrairie,
wider in extent, that in localities did
more serious damage. Near the center
of the town of LaPrairie the track of the
hail was fully three miles wide. Buyers
have ridden pretty thoroughly over the
hail stricken districts this week and
have gained fairly good idea of the
locality of the crops injured. 1t is hardly
probable that hail in the townships
named has done more damage than the
crop year ago suffered from the same
cause.
Reports that reach US from Vernon
county is that very severe storm passed
over good portion of the tobacco sec
tions of that county last week and while
no hail is reported the wind was very
destructive, blowing down hundreds of
windmills and tobacco sheds and
whipped and tore the tobacco badly.

William Owen is Coming,

The coming to our city on September
18th of Mr.. William Owen and his splen-
did company, is matter of great i'm
portance to all theatre goers and to all
lovers of the higher class of the drama.
William Owen is one of the rising young
actors of the present day. He has been
struggling along for several seasons with
more or less success, and during the last
year he has risen from mere country
town star" to an actor of note. He met
with greater success both financially and
artistically than any actor who covered
the territory he did last season, that is,
through Iowa and Illinois. He is prime
favorite all through the southwest and
his visits are looked forward to and
waited for. 1t is very rare thing for
Mr.. Owen to play to anything but a
packed house, and it is to be hoped that
the people of Edgerton will take ad-
vantage of al opportunity to see without
doubt the very best performance ever
given in our Opera House, and one of
the very best companies that travels
through the west.

Secure a License.

A Wisconsin exchange says, the game
law passed by the last legislature pro-
vides that all persons hunting any kind
of protected game must take out a
license in the county in which they re-
side. The fee for the issuance of the
license is 81 to all residents of this state,
but non residents are required to pay a
fee of SO for the same privileges. The
license issued local hunters permits them
to shoot deer, but if the foreign hunter
desires to shoot deer in Wisconsin he
must pay an additional fee of S15 The
law will 60 into effect the first of Sep
TENDER and the licenses will be ready for
distribution about the middle of August.
AS the game laws of the state are now
construed, nearly every kind of game is
considered as protected game, and if the
hunters of this county expect to do any
hunting during the season it behooves
them to get in their application for a
license,
