BANK Is CLOSED.
Defalcation by Employees of Nearly
100000 Causes Trouble TO Lor-
ain, O., Institution.

Lorain, O., April las the result
OF an aggregate defalcation OF almost
100000 by three employees, the Citizens
savings bank. the oldest concern in the
city, has closed it's doors. The decision
was reached by the directors after a
long session Thursday night. At the
usual time for opening the doors Of the
bank Friday there were several hundred
depositors on hand ready to draw their
money should the opportunity present
itself. The crowd was made up for the
most part of foreigners. Posted upon
the door was a notice which read: "This
bank closed for business. The affairs OF
the bank have been placed in the hands
Of T. +. Fancher as assignee"
President Honecker, of the bank, stated
Friday that the defaulting employees had
agreed to turn everything of value they
possessed to the bank. Mr.. Honecker de-
clared that he believed the depositors
would receive every cent due them.
From authoritative sources it is
learned that the exact sum Of the
shortage in the funds of the bank is
$4,000. To offset this the three default
ing employees carried indemnity bonds
in favor of the bank aggregating $4O.-
900, and in addition have turned over
real estate and other property to the
bank to the value of $4,000. leaving the
net loss to the institution $4,000.

,]oSn Hall, his wife's brother are dead
as the result of an exchange OF pistol
shots at Halls home. When Hall
learned that Hazen and his sister were
to be married he warned Hazen that he
would resort to violence il necessary to
prevent the ceremony. Nothing came
of the threat and the newly-married
couple, believing that the trouble had
blown over, started Thursday evening
for visit to the brides brothers home.
They had hardly crossed the threshold
before Hall drew revolver and sent
bullet into his botherin-laW's body.
AS Hazen fell he whipped revolver
from his own pocket and returned the
shot. Hall then left the house and was
supposed to have run away. Shortly
after, however, he broke pane OF glass
in the bedroom window where Hazen
was lying and, showing his rifle barrel
through the window. shot Hazen again.
The coroner and an officer were sum-
moned, and upon their arrival in the
evening the coroner stumbled over the
body Of Hall in the driveway near the
barn, with his head blown nearly Off,
having committed suicide.

AN IOWA TRAGEDY.
Farmer Suspected of Murder and
Fearing Arrest Kills His Two
Daughters and Himself.

Des Moines, Ia, April 3.-Michael
Nelson, a farmer living near Poplar,
Audubon county, killed his two daugh-
ters, aged 10 and -, and then COM
mitted suicide. The murder was dis
covered when county officers sum-
money by the neighbors broke open
the door of the house. The two girls
were found in bed, each with bullet
hole through the head. They had been
murdered apparently as they slept. On
the floor lay the body of Nelson, his
rifle at his feet. Nelson has been sus-
pected by the authorities Of the muir
der of Francis Richardson, a wealthy
money lender, who disappeared seven
years ago and whose body has never
been recovered. An effort was being
made to learn where the body could
be found through the instrumentality
of spirituallst, and it is believed that
Nelson, fearful that the blame might
be laid at his door. killed his daugn-
ters and himself rather than face the
charge.
