BIGELOW OVER ESTATE
Defaulting Banker an Executor for
Brodhead Million.

from Kingston, n. Y, says: "Frank
G. Bigelow, the defaulting banker, is
an executor of the estate of the late
E. H. Brodhead of Milwaukee and for
merly Of Ulster county, this state. Mr..
Brodhead left an estate estimated by
heirs here to have been worth $1,000
600, and it is understood that it's secu-
rites are under the direct con-
troll Of Bigelow. The Kingston heirs
include the family Of John c. Brod
head, and they are now asking an in
vestigation to ascertain whether Bige-
low has made improper use Of any Of
the Brodhead funds. e.
Bigelow Denies in Part.
Mr.. Bigelow, when shown the Kings
ton dispatch, said:
"Most Of the personal property of
the Brodhead estate was divided some
years ago. The estate consists princi-
pally of real estate. I owe some money
to John G. Brodhead, but not large
amount. I expect to see John G. Brod-
head this afternoon.
George P. Miller, attorney for the
the property consisted Of real estate
not affected by the defalcation. The
personal property, Mr.. Miller said, was
under the immediate control of Mr..
Bigelow.
Another story that Bigelow has
turned over stock in an electrical COM
pany to the amount of $1,8O0,O00 to his
wife is untrue. It was stated today
at the First National bank that the
stock was turned over to the bank some
time ago by Mr.. Bigelow as security for
loan.
Interest now, centers in the capture of
the former assistant cashier, Henry G..
Coll, who Is believed to have left the
city. United States Marshal Thomas
B. Reed has enlisted the services of the
city police and Chief John T. Jensen has
notified the police departments in every
large city Of the country to look out for
him. The authorities are confident of
effecting his capture within a short
time.
Business Normal Again.
Milwaukee, April 26.-The excite
ment in banking circles caused by the
defalcation Of Frank G. Bigelow, former
president of the First National bank of
this city, has entirely subsidized and
business has again assumed normal con.
ditions. There was total absence OF
depositors within the region of any OF
the banks prior to the opening OF the
doors for business.
1 The depositors who for two days
clamored for their money at two of the
banks were given reinsurance from sc
many sources of soundness of the In
stitutions affected that the excitement
died away almost as rapidly as it had
sprung up.

The Prepotent Sire.

Proficiency is of so much value
In any kind of an animal that
1t cannot be overlooked. A sire
that has proved prepotent should
be kept as long as possible on
the farm, for in changing to a younger
animal there is always the possibility
OF changing to an inferior animal. The
practice on some farms of using a sire
for only short time and then chang.
ing to another without regard to what
the first sire has done is rather of a
lottery, as 1t is not possible to know
within a year or two the results of
the prepoteney of the animal in ques.
ton. The old sire that has proved
himself prepotent breeder should be
purchased in preference to a young
animal that has not proved his prepo-
tence, but too often this is not the rule
that is followed.
