US to tell whether a thing is vertical or

Denver. Aug. c1.-Judge John /.
Mullins, In the district court, has ap-
pointed Guy Leroy Stevick receiver

Depositors OF savings who had been
permitted to draw only 10 per cent Of
their funds since Aug. s, when a run
on the bank began, petitioned the
court to take charge of the institution
and the officers In charge consented
to have receiver appointed. The
bank had more than 5000 depositors,
whose savings deposits aggregated
$1.400,000. In the petition for re-
ceivership it is charged that more
than 100000 had been loaned to
Leonard u. Imboden and associates
on securities OF doubtful value. The
officers Of the bank filed an answer to
the petition denying that the loans
complained of were made on fictitious
securities. The Bank OF North Amer
lea of New York holds 400 shares, a
majority of the banks stock, as Sc
curity for a loan of 100000 These
shares stand on the banks books in

title to this stock. J. A. Hill, presi-
dent of the bank, who Is said to have

WEATHER CONDITIONS IN MAN.
chuRiA RESULT IN AN EF-
FEcTuAL ARMlsTicE.

Peking. Aug. 21.-While the Japa-
nese and Russian peace plenipoten-
tiaries have failed to arrange an
armistice during their negotiations the
weather Is enforcing an effectual ar
mistice for the month OF August. OPP
eratiOns ON large scale by each
army are impossible at the present
time and the situation will probably
be unchanged for the next fortnight or
three weeks.
The rains throughout Manchuria
have been unusually heavy and pro-
longed this summer. The country Is
now = swamp and the roads are SO
soft that attempts to move artillery
and heavy transports would be out Of
the question. There were many heavy
rains In June and July and the rainy
season began In earnest about the
middle Of July. During the following
three weeks there was q downp0ur al
most daily. The valleys east OF the
railway particularly are inundated and
the streams are swollen. making the
movements OF carts and horses very
slow and difficult. The Japanese army
had fully prepared for general adj
vance before the rain began and prob
ably will give battle quickly with its
whole strength as soon as the country
Il sulIlcientiy dry. IN the event that
the peace negotiations fail.
The army is In better condition
than ever before for work. The health
Of the troops throughout the summer
has been kept ct high standard and
the percentage Of sickness has been
far below that OF the same period last
year.
