DESSART BELIEVED INSANE
Reason DethrOned as Result of the
 International Bank Troubles

The Bisbee Review of Sunday pub fishes the following dispatch from Nogales:
 For several days there has been great nneasiness among the friends of John Dessart, presidentof the defunct International bank. A great many believe that MT. Dessart is on the very brink of insanity, and two of the best physicians in Nogaes have been close ly watching him for several days, and 1t is expected that they will reach a conclusion on the case tomorrow.
 Since the bank failure MT. Dessart has been acting strangely, and as time passes his acts are more and more those of a man not in his right mind. It is known that he sleeps but little, and spends most of his time during the night walking over the hills sur rounding Nogales. During the day he insists on sitting on the back porch, fishing, using broomstick for rod. The condition of Mir. Dessart has brought to him the sympathy of his old friends, many of whom believe that while he committed crime against the laws of his country in the way he handled the banks funds, still believe that he was drawn into the trouble by placing unlimited confidence in his business associates.
 The latest story concerning the fail ure of the International bank is that on the advice of R. Allyn Lewis, Des- sart placed a good sum of the bank funds in Greene Consolidated stock last year when the stock went down to ST, which was considered to be bed rock. Stock was purchased on margins, and as it steadily declined the bank was drained to meet the continued de. mand for margins. Bank securities were hypothecated for cash in the hope that the stock would take an up. ward turn. At last slump came, and the stock dropped to $7 90 and the bank being unable to further protect it's holdings, went down aud out
 Friends of MT. Dessart claim that he had both letters and telegrams from MT. Lewis, who was in New York, that if the bank should get em mbarrassed he was ready to send s50,000 on call to protect 1t. This money never showed up.

 Colonel Herring has sent to the board of supervisors the printed brief in the case, which he has prepared. It will be placed iu the hands of every member Of congress. The brief re- cites the history of the fraudulent bonds in concise manner, showing how the fraud was perpetrated.
 Colonel Herring wrote that both he and Delegate Wilson are hopeful of securing favorable report on the bill by the committee on claims in the house, to which the bill was referred. Tucson Post.

sooNeR's GRAFT.
Another Case Of City Administration
Extravaganza and Negro
Offieiallsm.

Nero Booker. who for a number OF
years has boen the city jailer, and who
has recently had his salary increased
from $40 to about $50 per month. is

cavation for the federal building at

The question is can a man perform
