large sum of money unsecured about $26, 6,O00-with very small assets: not more than $3,000 or S4,000 that were negotiable. As 1 figured it out it was practically in solvent.
 I supposed the International Trust Co.,, was out of business. l had received letters from Dessart mentioning "the supposed Inter- national Trust Co.," wanted the charter for purposes of my own. Dessart had borrowed $21 900 from The International Trust Company, and the International Trust Co.,, had borrowed $26,000 from the In- ternational Bank. 1 made Dessart put up to the Trust Company securities which we supposed good.
 1 did not investigate the Arizona Commercial Company. That had gone out of business while l wes in Europe. It had been succeeded by the Southwestern Go. The Arizona Commercial Co.,, had some stock in the Southwestern Com mercial Go. 1 investigated the the Bank in cursory way.
 I had no accounting from the Bank in eighteen months. They never sent me anything which was satisfactory, and l wanted to get out. When came ran through the balances in general way l don't deny my competency to expert books. Inquired into the securi- ties in general way. Was told they were depressed and was asked to hunt money for the Bank.
 l saw that Swain had over drawn about $6,000. (Inspect- ing individual ledgers) Balance struck November 4th, 1903: Swain overdraft s6, 1S6.20, gold, $2,l35.20, Mexican. 1 commented to Dessart upon both accounts and asked how it was. He said Swain had not charged up his salary and certain expenses W h i h would offset that expenses. Swain had no bankable assets except an in- terest in certain mining sale, which may have amounted to 5000
 November 9th, was given Swain's check for $11,S75. Knew of his overdraft. Accepted his check. Did not receive three cer- tificates of deposit for the check Dessart handed me the check. En- dorsed and delivered it to Dessart, who deposited it to my credit. Then drew my own check for Sl1,- S75 and received three certificates of deposit for that.
 Cross examination: My endorse ment upon Swain's check was q solvent indorsement at that time l was worth a great deal money.
 Defence called for production of the check. Receiver said it had not been found in the papers of the Bank.
 Dessart filled the check; Swain signed it.
 The check was delivered Novem- Der 9th, in payment for ninety eight shares in the capital stock of the International Bank. 1 deliver ed three certificates, viz: No. 12, fifty-one shares; No. 2S, forty shares; Mo- B, seven shares.
 Dessart said they could sell the stock at $125 per share. They would sell to others, who wanted to get the Bank to convert 1t into national bank. Was told that

 never resided in Nogales. Was here in 1901 at various times, about ten days all told. Lived in Phoenix. Left there for New York December lst, 1901. Since then up to November 1st, 1903, I had not been in the territory more than forty eight hours, when passing through. My acquaintance here was not such that 1 could tell sol- vency. of loans. 1 believed that if the Bank could realize upon all of it's small loans it was safe, but | consi dered they had overloaned. The law requires a cash reserve of fifteen per cent of deposits, but that is not considered sufficient for safety. z
 Court went into recess until Wednesday morning
 Wednesday morning consldera- ton of the case was resumed with General Lewis still on the stand, who testified:
 The last statement from the ln- ternational Bank 1 received was April 18th. 1903, which was ac- companied by letter from L. F. Swain, Cashier. Letter and state ment admitted in evidence The letter stated that the Territorial Auditor had just completed exam ination of the Bank. 1 believed it true-both statement and the let ter. Had no outside information.
 1 have here statements from the International Bank showing that at all times there was balance in my favor. Statements admitted in evidence and read June 29th, 1902, my balance was S25,0OO. In August or September 1902, in New York, 1 was telephoned by the Ma tional Bank of Commerce that the International Bank in Nogales had an overhaul of S12,000 which had gone to protest. 1 drew my per sonal check apon the City National Bank fCr$12, ,O00, which was certified by the cashier Of the City National, took it to the National Bank of Commerce and deposited to the credit of the International Bank. These sums and others 1 deposited with the International Bank were returned to me. From time to time 1 drew checks against them; but from October 1902 to Novem- Der 1st, 1903 1 drew no checks whatever against this Bank, and when 1 came here upon the latter date the balance in my favor was S231.92.

Republican managers here are sure that
a Republican will succeed Bard, and IL

BURNED TO DEATH
Little Children Meet a fiOr.
ribie nedth in q Hotel
Chairman

Susanville, Cal, July 19.-The Humph-
rey hotel. conducted by Keith r. Miller.
at Longville, Plumas county, was entirely
destroyed by fire yesterday at o'clock.
The flames were first noticed breaking
through the roof and efforts were made
to save articles in the lower story.
No thought at first was given the
whereabouts of two small children in the
house., who had been noticed a short
time before playing around, and upon
search being made, they could net b.
found.
1t was suggested that they might be
upstairs. and. upon Investigation, it prov
ed true, but when found they were past
ali human aid.
They were found in the room where the
fire started, lying upon a bed, both dead.
Desperate efforts were made to secure
the bodies before the flames could con
sumo them, and by the courage of a man
whose clothes had been saturated with
water, both bodies were taken from the
burning room.
1t is thought that the children secured
matches and in playing with them set
the place on fire.
One child was the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
X. r. Miller and the other was the
daughter of Mrs. Laparry, a resident OF
Reno.
The bodies were taken to GAINESVILLE,
Lassen county, for interment in one
grave. Their ages were about four years
each.

Beware Of Chickens

Down in Georgia a gentleman after liv-
ing a quiet, unnoted life has recently
achieved something of distinction by dy-
ing on the ninetieth anniversary of the
day of his birth. His venerable age and
the coincidence of the dates of his birth
and his death led to some Investigation
into his mode of life, and 1t was then
learned hat from the time of his infancy
in all those years taken a single dose of
what his biographer calls doctors med
icinc.'
To nave maintained himself hale and
hearty through so long a period, in a So
ciety so disturbed as has been that OF
Georgia during the vi~cissitudes of the
Civil war and the reconstruction period,
is certainly an achievement worth noting.
deserve attention from all who wish to
avoid doctors medicine, live to be ninety
and die on the anniversary of their birth.
1t is therefore gratifying that the Atlanta
Constitution has sought out the peculiar
tiles of the veterans way OF living and
has published them for the benefit of a
world of men, among whom there is too
much medicine and too little length of
life.
From the investigation we learn that
the long-lived citizen was Familiarity
known as Uncle Jack and it is a
natural inference that he started life with
a disposition so genial and sympathetic
that everybody felt something of kinship
for him. That of course helped him to
live comfortably, but it was not enough
to assure him ninety years of life, for a
good many such genial fellows die young.
1t was further learned that he never
used either tobacco or coffee, but that
nc "ouiu TAKE q uflnh OF Heuor Wnen-
ever 1t suited his purpose" Those hab-
it's also were doubtless of good service
to him. but still they do not account; for
mis- feat OF living nine decades and then
dying on the anniversary of his birthday.
We are told that before the war he was
a Wing, but ever since the war he was a
Democrat. He was once a county clerk.
ice of the peace. his various terms of
office covering a period of more than
forty years. That is a good record as
records go in rural districts. but the mere
enjoyment of the spoils of Office for forty
years and over is not enough to sustain
a man in healthy life for ninety years.
There is still something to be sought for
as a complete explanation of his gooa
fortune. and it is to be found in the state
ment of his biographer: "He never ate
i chicken In his life"
Just how a man of hearty appetite
could live in Georgia for ninety years
without ever eating a chicken is a diff
cult thing to understand. but the story
comes to us on the authority OF a con-
temporary that has always been found
reliable when not discussing politics. we
give the theory. therefore. for what 1t is
