THEY'LL GET INTEREST.
Bradley's Statement to DepositOrs-
Will Sell Lands.

Judge S. H. Allen called upon Re-
ceiver Bradley, of the First National,
today and received the information
that preparations are under way for
the disposing of the real estate col
lateral decided by c. j. Devlin to the
bank.
The property is in Illinois and Kan
sas. I'VE would have sold any of this
real estate at any time if a good price
was offered said Mr. Bradley, but 1
do not think that by taking more time
that anything is being lost. Now, how
ever, those who would buy or lease the
property might desire to have the land
in time for the putting in of fall crops
and it may be that by next month that
the property can be sold if good
price is offered, or the property leased
for another year.
Col Sam Radges called upon Mr.
Bradley and received the information
that he would receive interests on his
deposits in the First National from the
time the certificate of deposit was is
sued until the time of the failure, and
that from the failure on the receivers
certificate would draw interest at the
legal rate. This ruling, of course, ap-
plies to all depositors
Receiver Bradley is anxious for those
with claims to present them as so far
but Cne-third of the claims have been
presented. He says that it will take
much longer to determine the liabilities
of the bank than the assets and that
the proving up of claims will facilitate
his work.
The assessments on stock have been
paid with but two exceptions out 81
those Receiver Bradley counted on pay
ing, and one stakeholder on whom he
did not reckon as being able to pay has
given satisfactory assurance that he

not here to indulge in wild flights of
oratory, but to tell you a plain story.
A few years ago I went west on a
hunting expedition. While alone in the
mountains of Montana 1 met an In
dian. He seemed to be a good Indian
"a man of principle. In a day or two
he quite won my confidence, but alas!
ALAS, what?" some one shouted.
HE was playing 'possum on me. He
had an object in lulling my natural
distrust. There I was a hundred miles
from the nearest white man, and as
unsuspicious as a babe year old

found that the Indian had me by the
hair.
"'What do you want?' says I.
"'Your scalp lock- says he.

told him that an Indian who'd do such

never, never prosper, and l packed up
my traps and left the place. I will
now place my hand on the spot where

But there's hair there!''
so there is, gentlemen-so there is.
None of you would ever know L had
been scalped, and that brings us to the
business in hand this evening. When 1

meet Professor Grimshaw, the cele-

after we had shaken hands, he says:

Lake Charles American.
We call attention of the Lake
Charles admirers of Japan to
the outbreak of civilization in
Japan, as related by our dis
patches last evening and to-day.
1t appears from the dispatches
that the discontinued little
Orientals have concluded that a
gold brick has been passed to
the Son of Heaven in the Ports
mouth conference, and their
first impulse was to destroy all
evidences of the Christian
religion.
Dispatches relate that ten
Christian churches and one
mission school were dismantled
in Toxic at the first outburst,
which seems to be doing pretty
well. None of the missionaries
or native Christians were killed,
probably because they had a
first-hand conception of the love
of the Japs for Christianity and
civilization and liked for the tall
timber like a Shreveporter
chasing a Cotton Belt train.
The outbreak seems to have
been temporarily suppressed.
with the aid of the soldiers after
the Christian churches handy
had been attended to and prom
inent Americans stoned on the
street, but it is plain that we
should form our opinion of the
Japs from the common or garden
variety instead of the dollhouse
product that speaks English and
golf.
