Christmas presents come back to him
in most unpleasant way as result
of the banks failure. Just before
Christmas he purchased for cash num-
ber of drafts as Christmas presents for
sisters and cousins and aunts and mail
ed them. The happy recipients cashed
the drafts, of course, and now they
have come back to the giver protested,
with face value to be paid over again,
plus the cost of protests.
While in some directions there is bit
ter feeling against Mr.. Clement, for the
most part there is feeling of sorrow
that he should, in his old age, have
fallen under the misfortune of bad judg
ment, for people regard his present
plight as more the result of that than
of deliberate intention to loot his
bank.
Mr.. Clements faith in the southern
companies in which he placed so much
money is still unshaken. He, and the
others interested in the fruit company
especially, look for large profits from
peaches this year, this being the first
year for their trees to bear. 1t cannot
be said, therefore, that those primarily
interested in the fruit company were
doing other than discounting their pros
poets in drawing as heavily on the Fari-
bault bank as the president of that in
stitution would allow them.
Judge Hunter, head of the depositors
committee of investigation, says that
the committee will not be able to make
any definite statement until the meet
ing called for Feb. 25, but he says that
he does not look upon the prospects of
the creditors as at all favorable.
