Los Angeles. Dec. A.-It 10 now con-

the cowboy miner who lately attracted
such widespread attention through his
lavish scattering Of money and various
spectacular episodes, has been muir
dered in Death Valley. On December
/ he left his mine in Death Valley.
siding mule and carrying with him
$1,000 and two repeating rifles. Ac-
cording to letter received by Rol.
King, SCOTS manager in this city,
from SCOTS brother, William at Ben
nett's Wells, the miners mule galloped
riderless into camp there on December
z with the saddle pierced with bull
let and blanket and saddle covered
with blood. To-day King telegraphed
$1,000 reward to Barstow and Bullfrog
for the recovery of Scott's body. King
is satisfied that Scott has been muir
dered for his money somewhere In the
desert. Already thorough search for
the miner has been instituted In Death
Valley and throughout the Funeral
mountains. SCOTS brother, accompa-
MED by Shand Merricks, well-known
desert scout, went back on the trail
Of the miners mule for 80 miles after
it came into camp but terrific sand
storm finally wiped out all trace and
their water supply having become ex-
hausted the men were compelled to
return to camp. Later they started
out again to continue the search.

KANSAS CORN COUNTIES.

Topeka, Kan, Dec. 21.-1ewell coun-
ty is the banner corn producing county

952 bushels. Marshall is close sec
ond with a production of 6,17S,S0S. Ne
maha is third with 5,S53,s54; Washing
ton fourth with 5,162,940, and Repub-
lie fifth with 5,074,080. Republic would
have been first but for the scheme
Of county seat grabbers who. in the
early day, robbed her of her southern
tier Of townships and left her with but
four-f1fths the area Of the counties
which have this year exceeded her In
aggregate corn yield. Forty-three Of
the 105 counties raised more than 1000
900 bushels Of corn each this year.
The present condition Of winter wheat
is 30 per cent. The growing crops
seem to be in better condition in coun-
ties outside of the wheat belt. The
average in the 20 counties in the wheat
belt ranges from 70 to IS per cent.

RAID ST. LOUIS CLUES.
The Police Under Orders from Gov
Folk VIII EndeavoP to Suppress
Drinking Associations.

st, Louis, Dec. 22.-President Stew
art of the Board Of Police commission
ers Thursday received letter from
Gov. Folk instructing that the police
raid so-called "clubs" organized for
the evasion Of the Sunday liquor law
and the avoidance Of dramshop license
payment. Gov. Folk instructs that the
clubs be raided not only on Sunday,
but on week days in every case where
It Is apparent that liquor Is being sold
to the general public in violation Of the
charters issued to these organizations
as social clubs. In his letter Gov. Folk
states: "A club has no more right to
sell liquor without the liquor license
than any other corporation would have.
If liquor Is in fact sold to the public
1t is utterly immaterial whether there
Is a club charter or not"
The proposed campaigns against or
ganizations known as "clubs" was be-
gun early Thursday night, when act
ing under orders from Chief of Police
Kiely the police raided FIVE OF the es-
Establishments arresting the proprietor
of one, the bartender at another and
the secretaries at the two others, be-
sides is persons found in the various
places. The principals Of the clubs
were held on charges Of selling liquor
without licenses, and the persons
found in the places were held as wit
nesses.
Late Thursday night two more
squads of policemen were ordered out
to make further raids.

WHY BANKS FAILED.
Comptroller Of Currency Explains
Recent Chicago Failures.
TWO THINGS ALWAYS DANGEROUS,


washington, Dec 21.-Comptroller
Of the Currency William B. Ridgely
Wednesday made statement in re.
gard to the trouble of the three Chi
cago banks controlled by John r.
Walsh. The newspapers, he said, have
given all the facts in regard to the
matter and there was nothing Mr..
Ridgely added. that he could say which
would add materially to what already
has been published. Speaking gener-
ally in regard to the matter he said;
"In this case as in all others with
which have had to deal. must de-
cline to make any statement or give
out anything for publication In regard
to criminal violations Of law. 1t is for
the department Of justice to say wheth-
err the evidence as we find 1t justi-
ifs criminal proceedings, what facts
shall be given out and how the cases
shall be conducted. In spite Of the
great difficulty there always is in get
ting evidence and convicting men OF
such standing, the department Of JUS
tice has been very successful in pun
ishing bank offenders In the cases with
which have had to deal. notably
those at Asbury Park, N. j.; Doyles-
town, Pa; Oberlin, Newark and Gal
latin, o.; Elkhart, Ind, and Milwau-
kee, Wis.
I'm all these cases am sure the
prosecution has been more successful
than If the evidence had been hunted
up with a brass band and the case
had been previously tried In the news
papers. The trouble with the Walsh
banks was due to two things which
are always dangerous--the holding Of
large amounts of public deposits and
the managing officers of the bank be-
ing interested in outside enterprises
requiring the use of very large
amounts Of borrowed money which
they supplied from the funds Of the
bank in larger and larger amounts.
No bank whose officers are using its
money to any considerable amount Is
ever free from danger They do not
all fail by any means, Of course, but
when bank does fail 1t is almost
invariably from this cause. There is
seldom a failure which is not due to
excessive loans either directly to the
officers or to various concerns in which
they are in some way interested. There
was no money stolen from the Walsh
banks, or shortage in their securities.
as there was, for instance, In the En-
terprise bank Of Allegheny, Pa.
John R. Walsh was for years con
sidered a very successful and conserva'
tive banker, but he branched out more
and more into other enterprises. He
owned a large Chicago newspaper,
three or four railroads. coal fields,
quarries, and had real estate and prop
erty Of every description. He is a
man Of marvellous energy and fine
ability. His companies we're well or
ganized and conducted and he might
have succeeded. as he always had in
the past, II he had not undertaken too
much for his capital"
Mr.. Ridgely praises the brave,
broad-minded and public-spirited" &C.
ton of the Chicago bankers In taking
up and guaranteeing the deficiencies
In the Walsh institutions, and says
their action ''averted any further finan-
rial trouble in Chicago or elsewhere,
which might have led to very serious
