Looting of First National Bank of Milwaukee.
by President Frank q. Bigelow.
SPECULATION and RECKLESS SON BRING RUIN
Man in Whose Hands Had Been Placed Vast Trusts
Proves Faithless and Is Self-Confessed Defaulter
to the Amount of Millions-May Wheat
Deal Figures in the Crash.

Milwaukee, Visit has been de-
clared that all the worlds a stage and
every man as an actor in the human
drama Of life plays his part. At the
present moment Milwaukee, the me-
tropolis Of Wisconsin, the great city
on the shores of Lake Michigan, second
only to Chicago in it's financial and
commercial Importance, has shifted its
busy scenes to the center of the stage,
has trotted out in unexpected and
startling manner the star performer in
the person Of the president of the First
national bank Of the city, and has held
the public of the entire country spell,
bound by his amazing manipulation of
the millions Of other peoples money.
Now you see it and now you don't.
By Way Of Contrast.

handsome profit to boot, and that the
heavy losses caused by the breaking
Of the corner and the dropping of the
price of May wheat from S1.211s to
981a cents, fell on the tailers whose
holdings in some cases were enormous,
as is evident from the fact that one
line of 100000 bushels for an outsider
was bought at s1.19, nearly the maxi
mum price reached. And it is more
than likely that Bigelow was caught
for big sum, and it was this loss
which precipitated the exposure. If
John w. Gates made by the deal, there
are those who are firm in the belief
that Bigelow's losses helped to cover
the Gates losses and leave the latter
handsome margin. And so the
sensational May wheat corner, which
is story of fascinating interest by it.

night, carrying a chest and bags. We
took to the woods and slept the next
day. For three days and nights we
had nothing to eat. At length, before
reaching the Alabama line, we struck
some railroad construction, where we
found a Swedish sailor living in tent
only big enough for himself. He was
also deserter and had found work
on the railroad.
HE took us in, and we worked for a
couple Of days. Chips found a job and
kept the boy with him. Between Fort
Morgan and BENEFIT we had to cross a
stream near Daffney. We plunged in
as high as our shoulders, and after we
had got on the other side built a fire
and hung the contents Of our bags to
dry and the clothes we wore also. We
were awakened by peculiar odor and
found that all our extra clothing had
caught fire and been burned. My un-
derwear was burned up also, and my
shipmate'S trousers were burned of
below the knees, so he was a funny
sight as we took up our tramp through
the forests to Mobile.
1.-THE engineer of a lumber train
through the forest took pity on us and
gave us lift Of forty miles. After
this we got something to eat at a soil
tary house, walked six miles to the
bay, crossed IN a skiff and finally found

EUENT THROUGH
MANY PERIL.S
Sailor ECHO Deserted From Ship
In Florida Had Horrosv-

fnG "A dxjenfureS.

In Florida Had Hdrrose-
ing a dUenfures.
AnderS HjOrth, an able seaman on
the barkentine J. B. Rabel, which ar
rived from Mobile at Bridgeport Conn.,.
recently, went through fire and water
to escape from the Russo Finnish bark
Sulphate, on which he says he found
life a torture. Hjorth signed on the
bark several months ago in Liverpool,
and the vessel set sail for Pensacola.
On account Of the currents and the lack
Of wind she could not go through the
Florida strait and took the route
through the West Indies.
Zone night" said Hjorth, II was call
ed out at six bells of the first watch,
as 1t had been discovered while the
yards were all square set that the ship
was heading directly for the island Of
Guadeloupe. We could scarcely get
food enough to keep our bodies within
our clothing on board the bark. Abuse
working up, blows and starvation were
our whack every day and night of the
long, terrible trip. At Pensacola the
captain refused to give us any money,
for, he said, if he did we would run
away, SO the carpenter, little Norwe-
gian boy, and my bunkie and myself
decided to run away, although five
months pay was coming to us and the
law in Florida Is now strict, reward
Of $40 being due to anybody who will
bring in DESERVING sailor.
1.-THE bark lay at the Muskoka wharf,
where many crimes had been commit
ted. Here ships steward was shot by
two negroes who mistook him for the
captain, the victim being accompanied
at the time by his wife. The negroes
were lynched. On the day we ran
away l saw queer sight. A negro was
throwing old fish from a fat bottomed
skiff near the wharf, and the sharks
would jump from the water for them
One shark jumped into the skiff and
took hold of the Negroes foot.
'The negro, in great furry, howled
with pain and beat off the shark with
an oar. He killed the man eater and
was then taken to hospital. The sight
of this shark made me all the more
anxious to desert. I got permission
from the mate to go ashore, borrowed
boat from a friend, rowed under the
wharf in the dark and signaled to the
carpenter, who was afraid to bring out
his tool chest and bag, for the lights on
the wharf were shining on the deck.
At last he and his chums lowered their
bags over the side, and the chest also,
unseen by the watch. Handicapped as
we were, we started on trip to Mo
bile, which took us ten days, and we
were lucky at that.

thieves because we were travelling at

that throws in fresh coloring and gives
increased dash to the scene.
The Lessons.
And then the clerk that uncovered
the steal, the directors that brought
the transgressor face to face with his
crime, the frenzied public which
stormed the doors of the bank to re-
cover it's money, the flight of Chicago
bankers with millions to the rescue of
the imperiled bank, these all play
their thrilling part in this remarkable
drama. Such it is as it has been
played on the stage of life. Perhaps
some playwright will here catch the
inspiration which will enable him to
present strong drama, whose lessons
shall be the necessity of honesty and
integrity, the danger of speculation, es-
pecially with other peoples money, the
certainty of harvest from the sowing
Of wild, reckless and dishonest seeds,
and the absolute truth of the Divine
declaration: BE sure your sin will
find you out"
Nearly 100000 Losses.
The revised schedules show a total
liability on the part of Mr.. Bigelow of
1927 1000, of which $1,975, 900 is wholly
or in part secured. Of the remainder
S1,110,000 is a secondary liability on
notes and bills discounted, in which
Bigelow figures as indorser. These
items are notes Of the National Elec-
trio company, the Grand Rapids Edi-
son company and S. w. Watkins, and
are evidently connected with the
financing Of the National Electric CON-
pany. The balance, $4,000, repre-
sents unsecured loans, the largest one
being an Indebtedness of 100000 to
the Broadhead estate, of which Bige-
low was executor.
Schedule Filed by Bigelow.
The schedule of assets and liabilities
filed by Mr.. Bigelow is as follows:

news FROM THE MINES and MILLS

A dispatch from Grand Encamp-
ment, Wyoming, says that Andrew
Olson brings news of rich strike in
Hog park, near the Colorado and Wyo-
ming line, where sylvanite ore has
been found that runs as high as $1S.-
900 to the ton. The ore was found at
a depth of eight feet. The strike has
caused intense excitement along the
Colorado-Wyoming line and many
claims are being staked.
The ore output of Leadville for the
month of November was between 49,
900 and $4,000 tons. The average
value Of the ore being SIS, fair aver
age, and the output being $4,000 tons.
also a fair estimate, the total valua-
tion of the ore taken out during the
month was $1,125,OOO. OF the ore that
was mined the Arkansas Valley plant
took about one-third. The other smell
ters of the trust and the Salida smell
ter took the remainder. The zinc peo-
pie have been taking from $1,000 to
10000 tons per month. The Iron-Sil-
yer Mining Company, the Western
Mining Company and the Ibex pro-
duced about $4,000 tons during the
month.
