STOCKHOLDERS DID NOT UNcER.
STAND THE MANNER OF
KEEPING BOOKS,
Jumped at Conclusion That Funds
Were Observation-Disclosures of
President Lewis Denied.

! A dispatch from Dayton says that
county stockholders of the Security
bank contradicts the statement that
ex- Cashier F. L. Wells was $4,000
short in his accounts, and that the al
legged shortage was made good by Mr..
Wells and by B. r. Lewis, president
of the bank and a big Inland Empire
lumberman. The resignation of Presi-
dent Lewis is also denied.
curious error on the part of some
of the examining stockholders is pro-
nounced responsible for the allegation
that ex-Cashier Wells accounts were
not straight. Most of the money be-
hind the Security Bank was furnished
by Columbia county farmers and bust
ness men, several of them inexper-
fenced in banking methods. When the
books were being examined prepara-
tory to reorganization following Mr..
Wells resignation on July 8, memo
randa were observed which the exam
iners did not understand. Whether
there had been any friction is not stat
ed but the misunderstood notatiOns
caused a jumping at conclusions that
was responsible for the charge that is
declared to have done Mr.. Wells in
justice. When it developed that the
memoranda, with the corresponding
amounts, were mere rotations, the sus-
picion of irregularity disappeared, and
the ex-cashier has been set right once
more in the Dayton financial world.
The reorganization has been due to
internal conditions and to a desire to
have both the bank stock and the con-
duct of the banks affairs in the hands
of local people, to facilitate which Mr..
Wells and Mr.. Lewis stock is said to
have been offered for sale. The former
will again enter the lumber business.

Berry Had Good Record.

Heretofore Berry has had a splendid
record as an officer and his actions at
this time come as a great surprise to
his many friends in Walla Walla. He
has been employed at the prison under
ways given positions of great import
ance and trust. In 1892 when John
GeF!eeS was warden of the peniten-
tary Berry gained quite a reputation
Tor the part that he took in preventing
an outbreak that mad been pianned by
the prisoners. Wardea McClees was
asSng through the brickyard when
r was suddenly overpowered by two
prisoners. He was then placed be-
tween two other convicts and was be-
ing marched toward the gate of the
enclosure with instructions to open
Ue gate. Berry was one of the guards
IN The wall and seeing the position of
the warden and realizing that a break
Was IN contemplation ne raised his
Tile and fired at the convicts with the
result mat he killed them both. This
prompt action on the part of Berry
resulted in the other prisoners being
gotten under control and prevented

Snake river Indians A number of

lumbia and Snake rivers in Walla
Walla and Franklin counties in pref
erence to remaining on the reservation.
The government gave permission to
them to select what government land
they saw fit. Many of them took
claims, but very few of them ever per-
fected their title to the lands or re-
ceived patent for it. Recently the In
dams have been coming into Walla
Walla and making complaints to Sen
ator Ankeny that the white men were
fencing up their lands and encroach-
ing on their rights. Senator Ankeny
has had the matter under consideration
and doing everything possible to
straighten out the matter for the In
dams.
He took up the subject with the Sec
rotary of the interior and after much
delay the special agent was finally sent
out from Washington. Mr. Taggard
has made a complete Investigation of
the records and secured the necessary
expected that the trouble will be soon
settled and that Indians will be given
patents to the lands that they have
selected for their homes.

We want the people of Waxahachie
and vicinity to know that the most
valuable and delicious tasting prepar-
alton of cod liver oil konwn to medi-
cine is Vinol.
Vinol contains all the medical ele-
ments of cod liver oil, actually taken
from fresh Gods livers, but not a
drop of oil TO retard it's work
For this reason Vinol is recognized
throughout the world as the greatest
health restorer and strength creator
known to medicine, and we do not be-
lieve there Is man, woman or child
in Waxahachie at this season of the
year but what Vinol will benefit
them.
Vinol creates health and strength
for old people, weak, sickly women
and children, nursing mothers and
after a severe sickness
Ninol cures hacking coughs, chron-
ic colds, bronchitis and all throat and
lung troubles. Unequalled to create
an appetite. and to make those who
are too thin fat, rosy and healthy.
Try Vinol on our guarantee to re-
turn money If ii fails. Hood e. Mar
