Special to TimeS-Republican.
Grinnell, Aug. At is stated on good
authority that Bank Examiner Shaw
Avill complete his investigation of the
affairs of the First National bank of
this city and forward his statement of
his findings to the comptroller of the
currency at Washington not later than
Saturday night. Every man whose
name appears on note about which
there is any QUESTION as to genuineness
In the bank is being notified and is
given an opportunity to deny the sig
mature If it be a forgery. An instance
came to light yesterday that indicates
misplaced confidence II not negligence
and carlessness upon the part OF the
bank officials. A notice of an alleged
unpaid note to former wel1-known
resident OF the county fell into the
hands OF his relatives, who came into
town to look the mater up. The man
has been dead for several years, and
his estate was probated in the court.
Had the paper at the bank been ex-
amined properly there is no doubt that
cases OF this kind would have led to u
more thorough investigation.

prepared without his direct assistance
and one of the editors of this paper
went to Grinnell tc collate the facts.
Wednesdays dispatches were CLEANED
from our regular correspondent from
the telephone, which was kept hos, ana
from the Associated Press wires, and
every statement of tact was true. Inc
fact of forging was true. The TACT
of the claim of depositor that the de-
post account had been stuffed was
true, the fact that the forged paper
exceeded 100000 was true, thu. fact
that a receiver had been appointed was
true.
Saturdays dispatch was written by
the member of the editorial staff who
went to Grinnell but the figures were
furnished by Mr.. Norris, of Grinneli.
Every statement OF fact in that dis
patch was true. Again, it was posi-
lively stated on Mr.. Norris assurance.
that depositors would be paid in full.
and that in all probability no assess
ment would be made. 1t was also stat
ed that the bank would not reopen and
that the forged paper would probably
aggregate 100000. The statement or
the Record Herald that Spencer had
conveyed his property was contradict
ed. This is the record. this is what
tha "Attorney for Bradstreets" calls
yellow journalism"
Inquiry at the office of the old lawyer
who has represented Dun 81 Company
for twenty five years, fails to show any
excitement. He has received but one
inquiry, and that by mail. Some fell
lows are always busy. The attorney
for Bradstreets" In his closing remark
is as ambiguous and obscure, and his
grammar is just as bad as In his open
Ing statement. Whether he refers to
Mr.. Norris. or Mr.. Field. or to his
brother Austin Haines, who. in the alb
sence of Mr.. Ray, is the Register and
Leader correspondent, no one knows
Either of these gentlemen will prob
ably survive the attack.
Newspaper men are like other men.
They do not wound people because 1t Is
a pleasure, but because they cannot
help themselves. They are NO more
brutal, spiteful, inhuman or un.'ympa-
thetic ordinarily than the attorney for
Bradstreets" They try to get the news
and it is expected OF them. II Smiths
son goes wrong. commits some s.ct that
startles society, Smith wants the
to suppress the facts, but
if it is Browns son or Jones. Smith
wants 1t published. But the newspaper
man must shut his eyes to the pain
an horror that publicity brings to the
friends, no matter whether the wrong
doer belongs to the upper or lower
crust. Be honest, be virtuous. obey
the ten commandments, and dol't pre-
tend to be what YOU are not, AID then
your friends feelings will not be out
ragged by newspaper publicity.
