Their Losses in BanI, Failure.

Their Losses In BAnl, Failure.
Special to Times Republican.
Fl. Dodge, Dec. 26.-Tfe college stu
dents from Fort Dodge, who have been
attending Oberlin college, and who
lost considerable thru the failure OF the
Oberlin bank by reason of the Chad
wick manipulations have been recon-
pensed for their losses, and are now
nothing behind financially thru the
wiles of this woman who disturbed the
serenity of Oberlin banking institut-
ions.
When questioned regarding the
losses and the amounts of them, the
boys who have just returned from
there, said that in a very short time
after the losses had become known,
the citizens in the city and the college
faculty had raised an amount sufficient
to reimburse them for all that had
been lost in the bank. ..she bank that
fail,.i 1, it seems, was very popular with
the college students, tn. greater part
of them having their savings in that
Institution. Most of the Fort Dodge
contingent there followe the style set
by their predecessors, and made that
bank q depository, with the result that
their savings were thre atened for a
time.
The feeling against President Beck
with and Cashier Spear .suns very high
at Oberlin, it is said, and the people
have been swearing vengeance against
the officials who SO carlessly permit
ted themselves to be beguiled into
trusting their own and other. peoples
money to be handled by the smooth
manipulation.

Davenport, Dec. 26.-Heman Jas
ner a dog tax collector, shot and
wounded, perhaps fatally. Jack Glib
son, formerly well known switchman
In an alteration over the payment
OF Gibson's dog tax. The bullet broke
thru the third rib and lodged In the
pleural cavity. The gun used by Jas
per was cheap weapon of 32-calibre
size. It was six-shooter and when
handed over at the station, had one
shell discharged, this being the one
which had contained the bullet that
lodged in Gibson's body. The gun was
badly rusted and the bullets had never
been creased and had therefore become
furnished and dirty A dirty bullet
makes much more serious wound
than q clean one and for this reason
there was some apprehension on the
part OF the officers after the shooting
lest blood poisoning should set IN.
AS justification for his act Jasper
stated that he went to Gibson's nome
to collect dog tax which was long
past due and which he was promised
that night When he arrived there,
Gibson told him he didn't have the
money and ordered Nhim off the place,
at the same time using harsh Ian
guage at him. Gibson, so Jasper al
leges, then struck him with his left
fiss on the left side of the cheek and
almost at the same time secured a
knife from the cupboard. Then to
i protect himself, Jasper alleges he shot
his assailant. Gibson's written state
ment alleges that Jasper abused and
shot him without provocation other
than his inability to pay the dog tax.
Jasper is In Jail.
