That's the name of the new bank

beck, Mr.. Case having disposed of his
interest to Il. s. Smith, so long the
banks efficient cashier.
The change was made wholly as a
partial recognition of Mr.. Smiths
faithful work in the banking institu-
tions OF Messrs. Case and Whitbeck.
at Kimball and Odcoma, and notfrom
any desire on the part OF Mr.. Case to
withdraw from one of the best banks
in which he was interested. 1t was a
very nice act on the part uf both Mr..
Case and Mr.. Whitbeck and shows
that they reward faithful men in
their employ with substantial rec
ognition.
When the opportunity was offered
Mr.. Smith to quit the Kimball bank
where he was bookkeeper-and take
charge CT a new bank at Oacoma, far
away from all his old friends and
acqualntances and almost on the edge
OF civilization at that time, many
young men would have passed it up
for more inviting field Of work.
Not so with him. He took hold with
a vim and soon built up a splendid
business and made friends right and
left all over the western range and
found a splendid young woman to
share his prosperity to boot.
It's a lesson that many another
young man may well take to heart.
Learn to work and to wait.

and the Prisoner Is Shot
to Death.

if George R. Davidson, in attempting to

is not known. The sheriff then called
for the police. Two officers and several
citizens rushed to the Jail, but despite
their presence the mob battered down
the wooden door at the foot of the stairs
leading to the corridor. The sheriff and
posse made stout resistance, but were
unable to prevent the mob from break
ing in the iron door at the head of the
stairs and entering the cell occupied by
the negro about whose neck they placed
a rope. AS soon as the mob emerged
from the cell it became apparent that
the negro could not be taken from the
jail and hung for fear of being fired on,
and he was shot to DEATH

cape, but the sheriff and his guard cap
tured three of them, andrthey are in Jail.
One of them, it is said, has made a con-
fession, duplicating 10 men in the affair

of assaulting Mrs. Eliza Eggleston, and
at his preliminary hearing the warrant
was amended so as to charge a simple
case of assault. The negro had waived

CATHEDRAL FUNDS SHORT.
Father Callahan, of Denver, Is Said
to Have Lost the Money In
a Mining Venture.

Friday says that Father Callahan, the
pastor Of the Cathedral parish and In

amount of the cathedral fund, $50 600.

he was losing, has gradually invested
the entire money in order to make good.

The abandoned mine on the Patter-

closely guarded all night, and Satur-

without any evidence being discovered
that the men had been hiding there,

the mine was empty.
Early Saturday John Welsh, resi-

of the roll Of bills amounting to about
So, 800. Some $40 in silver were left
