TROUBLED CONSCIENCE.
Bankers at Mount Ayr Receive Money
Paid by Them Through Mistake
Twenty Years Ago.

A case of troubled conscience and
restitution is reported by Allyn Bros,
bankers, of Mount Ayr. Mr.. Allyn is
state senator and a reputable man.
Twenty years ago, when the bank
was under the management of Nor
ris & Allyn, a Rice township farmer
had on deposit 500. One day he went
into the bank and drew from the de-
posit, which was subject to .echecll,
$3.50. Some time later he drew out
the remainder, and by mistake was
paid the full amount of the check,
500. For twenty years he had the
use of the $3.50, and he stepped into
the bank the other day and related
the incident to Mr.. Allyn, and wanted
to pay back the money with compound
interest. 1t amounts to $50. Half the
money was sent to Mr.. Morris widow,
at request of the repentant farmer,
and the other half was retained by
Allyn Bros.
