Did Not Lose in Bank.

Some one sent out a pipe dream
from Davenport to the effect that Viii.
liam Schwarting of Walcott, who was
vice president of the Walcott bank,
committed suicide on account of his
financial losses in connection with the
New Liberty and Dixon bank failures
The report was taken at Walcott as
indicating that Mr.. Schwarting had
sustained losses that might involve
the Walcott bank, and a light run on
the WalcOtt bank was the result. The
run was easily met and checked, as
the WalcOtt bank is in excellent finan-
cial condition. It's directors say. more.
over that Mr.. Schwarting had not met
with any financial losses that were Sc.
rious enough to figure as a factor in
his rash act. He had been respondent
for eight weeks over little matters
that appeared trivial TO others but
that he sadly magnified until he was
ready to sever his connections with
this world.

keepers were arrested for keeping open
on Sunday. Deputy Sheriff Seaholm
served warrants upon the following,
and they are to answer to bonds of
$500: CAMEL Mortier, Sanders Mellon

gained no enviable reputation through
it's saloons and the recent murder in
