Cincinnati, Nov. 19.-United States
Bank Examiner Tucker has taken pos
session of the German National bank
at Newport, KY, and posted notice
that the bank would remain closed
pending an examination. He also an
nounced unofIicially that Frank Nj.
Brown, the assistant cashier, was miss
ing, and that partial investigation
showed that he was short about $201,-
600. Brown, who is the son of Paris
c. Brown, ex-mayor of Newport and
one of the leading business men of Gin
cinnati, has been with the bank for Is
years, and was one of its most trusted
men. Experts state that his operations
extend over period of 10 years. He
left on a vacation last Wednesday and
is supposed to be out of the country. 1t
is generally believed that he has taken
with him a considerable amount of
money.
Brown, it is alleged, has lived fast
life. with wine. women and gambling
in his repertoire. His career was cut
short by a jealous woman, who made
his doings known to the banks officials.

mored for some time, but the bank Off
Gals and directors have repeatedly de-
clared that his accounts were correct
and that everything was all right.
The widest scenes were witnessed in
Newport when Examiner fuckers an
nouncement was made public, and seri-
Gus trouble>is expected when the bank
officials are confronted by the people
who have hunted in vain for them. The
capital stock of the bank is only $780,
000 Browns shortage is double that
amount, and more than the reserve and
all the assets, including the banks real
estate. He must have gone the full
limit for a small bank.
For two weeks there have been ru-
mors that Brown was short and some
depositors withdrew their accounts.
Three weeks ago the bank examiner
made a good statement and the officers
and directors allayed suspicion by re-
ferring to this report and to their last
| statement.

them of the change in the menu of the
expected feast? He simply couldn't do
it, that was all. BY the light of the moon
that came in the window he saw on the
table before him the nimble little animal
that he had captured lying by the side
of the big turkey, which had been made
ready for the oven and was fairly burst
ing with delicious dressing.
"Oh. | know what I'll do. There" he
said, as he unfastened the stout cord that
bound the bulging sides of the turkey,
scooped out the dressing. stuffed the rab-
bit in the ample cavity and fastened the
cord again Wen have the rabbit any

Then he went back to his room.
When he awoke in the morning the
first thought that struck him was that
his mischievous prank might spoil the
whole dinner. Yes, he was sure it would.
He had never heard of such articles of
food being cooked together and he be-
came badly frightened. He FASTENED to

MINING NOTES.

Two new claims have been located
near Dumping Lake, in the Summit
district, Yakima county, Wn., by Dan
Sinclair.
Some of the finest specimens of gold
nuggets that have ever been seen in
Spokane have been brought to the city
from the mines of the Idaho Consoh-
dated Co. near Pierce City, Idaho.
They were gathered from a recent
cleanup which was made from the plac-
er diggings of that section. The find
was exceedingly rich and the nuggets
are said to be plentiful.
The experiments with the natural
gas found near the city of Spokane,
which were held last week, we're most
successful. The gas was burned under
slight pressure and furnished a clear
white flame that burned steadily and
clearly.
Development on the Tamarack and
Chesapeake, ABOUT a mile from Burke,
idaho. on the Tiger-Poorman lead, has
been in progress for about four months.
In that time 30 feet of work has been
done 1t is believed that the adit is
nearing the main pay shoot.
Judging from reports received Meagh.
er county, Mont. is going to have the
biggest mining boom of any county in
that state next year. In fact, the boom
is already we'll under way. The devel
opment of the copper properties at Cop
peropolis has proved that at that camp
there is a rich body of copper ore, and
IT gets better as depth is attained. A
message from there was to the effect

had just been struck in the 5O0-fooi
level, on the North Pacific. one of the

too late. The turkey, with its strange

- day spent in the wood, and all
were in high spirits. They had succeed
ed in trapping a rabbit, which was now
slung over Dick Morris shoulder in
sportsmanlike fashion. for to him was
due most of the credit Of capturing it,
and he felt very proud.
"What are you going to do with the
rabbit, Dick?" Edward White asked,
gazing admiringly at it.
Eyes, that's it" exclaimed Archie
Rhodes, what will be done with it?
Somebody tell"
wig. cook it, of COURSE" said Dick,
and then a happy thought struck him.
"Oh, III tell you what, fellows. Wen
have it for dinner tomorrow. What did
we catch it for if we didn't want to use
it?" And glowing with pride, he gave
all the boys a hearty invitation to dinner
at his home the next day.
Its go!' shouted Fred Miller; ''its
a go. I'll come early in the morning SOS
to be on time"
With burst Of pleasure his compan-
ions joined him in accepting the invita-
ton. and then all went home to dream
of the morrOw's feast when they would
partake of the spoils of the days adven-

holding the fowl at arms length.
Couldn't we have a rabbit, too?r Dick
suggested as he laid his bundle on the
table.

''where did you get that?"
With reluctance Dick told how in the
spirit of fun he had trapped the rabbit
and how Fred Miller's father had skinned
and dressed it for him, and how he hac
invited all the boys to dinner.
