Twenty Thousand
Missing From Bank

A special from Trinidad TO yester-
days Denver Times says: William g.
Plested, the temporary receiver for the
American Savings bank, this morning
issued statement which gives some
startling disclosures as to the manner
in which the money of the closed insti.
tuition had been handled.
He said that he was not prepared
to make any statement other than the
one that he was filing In the district
court, but did say that about May 26
the directors Of the bank began draw
ing their money out, and at the time
Of the closing Of its doors there was
in the bank no money Of theirs ex-
cept small amount belonging to Miss
lynch as trustee. and !. @. Milliken,
the teller, drew out $3.50, later deposit
ing $50. A. F. Hollenbeck. one Of the
directors, has little money In the
bank.
]. L. Bridges private account is
overdrawn about $4,000 and there is
besides note for $4,000, signed by
himself and one Of his sons.
The statement issued by Mr.. Plested
shows that there are $4,000 In items
charged against the bank, which have
either not been entered on the books
at all or else are not satisfactorily
explained. Seventeen thousand dol.
lars of this is reckoned as an asset
and Is In the hands Of the American
Investment company. but there is
nothing to show what was done with
this money, where 1t went or who the
American Investment company is.
This company has altogether $4,000
of the banks money, but the rest Is ac-
counted for by collateral.

A LETTER FROM MANILA

A letter from Manila to
Mr.. H. L. Ferguson gives an account
of the disappearance and presumed
death OF Mr.. Paul F, Green. formerly
of Greenville, and late civil engineer
in the T. S. service.
A clipping from a Manila paper,
too long for reproduction in The
Times. states that Mr. Green had
been i'll for some time at Point Du-
mala, where he was engaged in locat-
ing a site for lighthouse. When he
was missed from camp search was
instituted, but no sign of him could
be found save few pieces OF under
clothing, identified as his. on the
Jagged rocks at the base of a high
headland
1t is believed that in his illness he
wandered away, and fell over the
headland his body being carried on
to sea. Mr.. Green was IS years old
a son of the late Rev Duncan Green
and grandson of Bishop Green, o
Mississippi. He was reared in Green
vile. and many here will regret HI
tragic and untimely death.

cHAS. HAFTER,S SALE


No one who read the recent Halter
ads in The Times could doubt that
rhis reliable establishment was in SER
ious earnest in the bargains If offered
to the public. They were surprising,
II Is true, but Mr. Halter is a man of
MS word When he says he will do
thing he does it, and the people who
tiocked to the store in response to his
invitation, were not disappointed,
either in the goods they bought or the
prices they paid for them
Many came from far away and are
still coming to attend this unprece-
denied sale A stock selected with
good judgement, numerous and most
accommodating salespeople, and
above all, prices that must needs sat
isfy the purchaser, are sufficient to
make sale popular, and the run
on Hafter's has justified his expecta
tons.
Ii bids fair to continue as long as
there is anything left in the store, SC

this extraordinary occasion had best

The great Sacrifice Sale at the
Leader under the direction OF Mr..
Lithman, continues to attract great
crowds and marks an epoch in the his
torp OF commercial enterprise
The variety and choice OF the goods
offered the astonishingly low prices
and interest awakened has made this
a record sale 1t is probable that
nothing like it has ever before been
seen in Greenvllc 1t is fine stroke
OF bushes enterprise, and except that
the prices asked indicate such a small
margin OF profit must be OF great ad-
vantage in advertising the establish
ment.
Even those who make few purchas-
Is are interested in examining the
great stock which is going at such a
sacrifice, and tell their friends of it
with the result that the store has been
crowded with eager buyers from the
beginning OF the sal.
