Evansville, Ind, July 2S.-For the
past twenty-four hours a number Of
strange negroes have been passing
through this city on their way south,

Many of the negroes who left Evans

CLOSED BUSINESS.

The Bank of DeBeuue is no more,
that institution having consolidated
with the Mesa county bank of this
city and closed its doors for business
last Saturday evening.
Rex Graham, who has had charge
, of the institution and so success fully
managed its affairs was transferred
faom there to his old position in the
Mesa county bank.
The bank of DeBeque was estab-
lished during the first period of the
oil excitement in that town and has
been run ever since. The bank had
a verv fiattering line of deposits, con-
sidering the size of the town and it
was with reluctance that Mr. Orson
Adams, the owner of the bank, decid-
ed that there was insufficient business
to maintain the bank as separate
institution.
The merchants of DeBeque and the
farmers and cattle men of that section
literally patronized the bank and had
the boom continued. which started
with the oil excitement, the bank
would doubtless have grown proper
tionately.
Speaking with DeBequeite today,
he said
I'VE are sorry to lose the little
financial institution but of course the
business that could be commanded by
the institution was entirely too small
