Defalcation by Employees of Nearly
800, 900 Causes Trouble to Lor-
ain, O., Institution.

Lorain. O., April las the result
of an aggregate defalcation OF almost
100000 by three employees, the Citizens
savings bank, the Oldest concern in the
city, has closed it's doors. The decision
was reached by the directors after a
long session Thursday night. At the
usual time for opening the doors of the
bank Friday there were several hundred
depositors on hand ready to draw their
money should the opportunity present
itself. The crowd was made up for the
most part of foreigners. Posted upon
the door was a notice which read: "This
bank closed for business. The affairs OF
the bank have been placed in the hands
OF T. F. Fancher as assignee"
President Honecker, of the bank. stated
Friday that the defaulting employees had
agreed to turn everything of value they
possessed to the bank Mr.. Honecker de-
clared that he believed the depositors
would receive every cent due them.
From authoritative sources it is
learned that the exact sum of the
shortage in the funds of the bank is
$4,000. To offset this the three default
ing employees carried indemnity bonds
in favor of the bank aggregating $4O,-
600, and in addition have turned over
real estate and other property to the
bank to the value of $4,000, leaving the
net loss to the institution 5000

The government will build a

place network of lines will be
constructed that will establish
talking communication with

sink irrigation project. The line

and will be a source of conven-
lence in many respects.
1t was formerly the govern

The mangled remains of what
had once been a human being
were found last Saturday on the

road siding east ofHazen. Churc-
hill authorities were notified
and Justice of the Peace Z. An
derson of Hazen went to Parrin
and removed the remains to that
place, where an inquest was
held last Monday.
The jury found that the dead
mans name was Ed Shannon,
that he was about 40 years of
age, stoutly built, weighing
about $50 pounds, and that he
came to his death while riding
the rods OF a passenger train /.
1t is supposed that the accident
was caused by an attempt on
the part of the diseased to shift
his position on the rods, in
which his foot was caught in
the frog of the switch, tearing
off the sole of the shoe and
throwing the man under the
moving train.

TEN CENTS
Water System
For Fallon.

The last State legislature
granted q franchise to Thomas
Dolf and A. X. Jeffrey, of this
city, franchise for the privilege
OF supplying the town of Fallon
water for domestic and fire pur-
poses for period of so years,
with a proviso that active con-
Struction on the same shall be
commenced within six months
OF the date of the governors ap-
proal of the bill which occurred
on March 1st.
The bill is quite voluminous
and provides that the franchise
shall be dependent upon the
grantees constructing within
the period named a water sys-
tenn that shall be adequate for
fire and dometic purposes, and
that each block within the town
of Fallon shall have connection
with the mains of the water
company. The rates will be
fixed by mutual agreement be
the grantees and the board of
county commissioners.
In an interview with Mr.. Dolf
he stated that no definite plans
had been formed as yet, but that
in all probability wells would
be driven in the near future, and
gravity water system con-
structed, that will supply all
domestic demands and will ma
terially lessen the present high
rates of insurance paid by our
business men.
