SHORT IN THEIR ACCOUNTS.
Assistant Cashier ~nd Paying Teller of =
Salt Lake Bank Under Arrest.

Harry L. Duke, the assistant cashier
of the Wells-Fargo Co. bank, Salt
Lake City, and Alexander A. Robert
son, the paying teller, were arrested
Wednesday afternoon, on the charge
OF embezzling 500, 900 from the bank.
The story OF the alleged populations
of Duke ADD Robertson, as revealed by
the Investigations of Special Detective
j. N. Thacker. shows a remarkable
system of defalcation, extending over
= period of ten years. During this
time, Mr. Thacker says, no less than
800. 200 was taken from the funds of
the bank and the evidences SO carefully
concealed that no one was suspected
until few weeks ago.
Both OF the men are well known and
very popular in the capital city. Mr..
Robertson is a member of the city
council and is serving his third time in
that body. On Saturday night, June
2s, Robertson disappeared from his
usual haunts, and his friends feared
he had suicided. A search was made
for him, blood hounds being placed on
his track, but he was not discovered
until Sunday, when he confessed he
was short in his accounts and that he
had contemplated suicide, but finally
decided to face trial.
The disclosure of the shortage and
the arrest of the two men has created
q profound sensation.

THE CHORAL SOCIETY.
Van Rooy to Substitute for Schumann-
Heink Tonight,


At late hour yesterday afternoon the
Choral Society was notified from New York
that Madame Schumann-Heink. after her
appearance In Baltimore in Tristan Sat-
urday afternoon, was taken so i'll that she
was obliged to return to New York and
could not sing at the concert here this even
ing. AS the Congregational Church has
been entirely sold out for tonight, the
Choral Society was placed in very diff
cult position.
Maurice Grau was seen Immediately, and
offered to arrange for the services Of the
great basso. Anton Van Rooy. He comes
over Immediately, and will appear in to-
nights concert in Madame Schuman-
Heink's place. In addition to the numbers
sung by the society, he will sing the fol-
lowing, program: ''Blick ich umber." from
Tannhaenser," nI n Wagner; Lied an die
..Todessehnnicht," Bach; phyllis und die
Mutter,' Erik; "Du bist die Ruh," Schu-
bert; Der Doppelganger,' Schubert; Der
Tod M und 1 das Madehen," Schubert; IAN
There is no doubt that, if the society had
had ample time for choice to sup
ply Madame Schumann- Heink's place, it
would have been impossible to find any one
VINO could do 1t more satisfactorily than
TINS singer. He has sung but once in
Washington. and then with the Grau Opera
Company. In New York city, his appear
ances as Wotan in Wagner's "Tetralogy"
aroused the greatest enthusiasm, and he
mas given series of song recitals where
his admirers completely filled Carnegie
Han. He is recognized as one of the great
1nterpretative artists Of the day. 1t is par
tlcularly fortunate that he opens with a
Wagnerian selection, in which he is SO
justly celebrated.
The society has been very greatly en-
barrassed In its efforts tc make certain of
the appearance of Madame Schumann-
Heink The original engagement was made
IN october, and contract then duly signed
for April p. About the 1st of April, no.
tlce was received that she had been obliged
to give up her concert engagements after
the opera season on account of illness, but
desiring not to disappoint her admirers
mere, arrangements were finally made with
Mr. Grau, and confirmed by a positive
telegram, for her appearance this evening
instead of tomorrow, and the date of the
concert was changed for that purpose so
Even as late as Friday night her program
was received by the society, making nu-
merous changes from the program sent
earlier and Offering no suggestion of any
thing, but compliance with the contract.
The agent of the society, who called on her
personally in New York yesterday, found
her at hotel there, too i'll to leave her
bed. The society, ia it's anxiety to deal
with perfect good faith with the public, is
assured that in this case it has itself been
treated by this artist with good faith, and
that it is only her Illness which prevents
her appearance. The management feels,
too, that in presenting Van Rooy in her
place it is giving a fun measure of satis-

his name was Fender. On reaching the

New Legislation IN South Dakota Put TO
Use by People of Pierre.
PIERRE, S. D.-About two years ago
an ordinance was passed fixing certain
streets on which no saloon license should
be granted. This remained undisturbed
until few days ago. when the city coun-
ell, by; a bare majority and after two
trials. passed an ordinance repeating the
dead line" ordinance, and granted a
license for a saloon within what had been
the prescribed district. The mayor ve-
toed the ordinance and it was impossible
to secure enough votes to carry it over
his veto; but the license had been grant
ed, and the interested persons were TAX
ing steps to begin business in the loca-
ton selected. They have been stopped
by the filing last evening of a referendum
petition to bring the action Of the coun-
Gil in granting the license to a vote Of the
people. Under the law governing the ref
erendum of city matters, a special elec-
ton on the subject must be called within
thirty days. AS long petition was pre-
sented to the council against wiping out
Of the dead line," the election Will prob
ably be interesting. -
The matter of the cattle trail across
the Cheyenne river reservation to Evarts
has again been under discussion by the
Indian council Of that reservation. The
last indications were that the original
trail, fully six miles wide across the res
ervation, will be modified and the trail
be of much narrower width at many
places. The desire Of the Indians is to
cut it to a bare mile at some points.
The report of South Dakota national
banks show individual deposits of $27 per
capita, on a population of 100000. The
state and private banks probably carry
almost as much more, showing a good
financial condition among the people.
