AND RECOVERED.

Mccormick & Company VS. John Il.
Clay; suit for $500, dismissed"
This item which appeared today on the
blotter OF the clerk of the district court,
conceals an Interesting little story of a
recent bank transaction and illustrates
as well the proyerbial luck that attach
es to Mccormick & company's big bank
lng house. Last Monday a man named
John r. clay presented at the bank
check for $500. The regular paying
teller Mr.. Whitney, was at lunch and
one OF the other employees cashed the
check. That night the cash Of the bank
would not balance within $500. Every
item OF disbursement was carefully gone
over and the tellers became convinced
that the error lay in this check paid Mr.
CIV, and they were certain that one
of the packages which had been handed
him contained $1,000 In bills instead of
S0OO. An immediate search was insti-
tuted but Clay could not be found. il
was known, however that ne had an
account with the National Bank
of the Republic, and this was
Immediately attached by Mccormick a.
Co. The search was kept up for clay,
who, Il seems, had gone off 10 celebrate
his lucky find He soon became
aware, however, OF the attachment on
his account at the Bank of the Re-
public and sent an attorney to Nc
Cornick q Co., to learn what proof
they had Of his having received the
money and on what terms a settlement
could be made. The attorney, who had
known all about Clays transaction
from the beginning was speedily con-
WINGED by Mr. Mccormick that they
had all the proof they desired and the
attorney was advised for his own good,
and that Of his client to make an i'm
mediate settlement. not only Of the $500
but Of the costs as well which amount
TO SiS He took but little time TO con-
slider the matter, and not long after
Mr.. Clay walked into the bank and
gave his check on the National Bank
OF the Republic for the full amount,
S5lS. departing with his not very jubi-
liant attorney, sadder and Il is to be
hoped, wiser man.
