for the purpose of answering all
charges contained in any indictment
that might be found against him, and

tie the claims of all persons who had
accounts with the bank.
Mr.. Cations friends insist that 1t
was loose management rather than
criminal intent that ruined the bank.

stock of the bank. and Is willing TO
turn this over to meet the $4,000 or
$4,000 deficit, making up the bals nee

TROUBLES IN
THE LIBRARY BRA [
Nez Perez Citizens Hold Special
Meeting to Reduce
Expences

NEZPERCE, Jan. 21.-The specia
meeting of the Nezperce Library asso.
citation was held at the library Tuesda,
evening and was attended by abou,
| thirty members. A rumor was current
on the street that an effort would b.
made to close the library and it was
due to this fact that there was so large
an attendance. Rev. Leeds presided
fand asked for the reasons why they
had been called. They were given as
follows:
| First-That the association was be-
ing run In debt. which was in viola
ton Of the rules.
Second-That the expenses were too
large.
Third-That certain laws Of the as
ISOLATION had been broken by the fl
brarian and directors.
A heated discussion took place OFT
the first subject. Rev. Leeds in de-
tense Of the board Of directors, stated
that while the association was over
drawn a small amount at the bank it
was done so without the knowledge
that It WAS contrary to any rule of the
association. and with the assurance
that the tax money, amounting to $3.50
would soon be forthcoming and placed
to the credit Of the association. The
opposition claimed that they had no
right to overdraw and that by SO doing
they had run the association In debt.
A motion was made leaving 1t to a vote
~ hA "a
prove Of the action Of the directors.
The motion carried by vote of eight
to twenty-one IN approval
The second question also received
thorough over-hauling. Under this dis
cussion 1t was thought by some that
the subscription list which is circu-
lated monthly should be discontinued
A vote. however. showed that the men,
bers approved Of the subscription list
and it will be continued. motion was
then made to reduce the librarians
salary to SIS month and shorten the
hours Of having the library open one
hour day. This motion was lost by
vote Of nine to sixteen. The question
was discussed farther and a motion
was made to reduce the salary to $50
month and the hours. remain the
same. This motion carried by vote
Of ten to fifteen.
Owing to the lateness Of the hour
the third question was left to be set
tied at the regular meeting of the as
ISOLATION which will be held ont he
first Thursday night in February. A
motion to adjourn then carried.
