REMARKABLE CAREER
 OF BANKING CRIME
Continued From Page i.

$30O,O are wiped out and there is still a deficit of S45O,OOO. The notes which carried this deficit were forged paper. or at least paper to say the least which was questionable.
 Three hundred thousand dollars worth of Stensland's subdivision notes were shown under the head of real estate.' In former examinations these notes were always shown minus the matured coupon and Mir. Jones was aI- ways informed that the interest had been paid. Now he finds that this was not the case and that the coupons had been put into a package and kept in the cashiers special box and never ex- hibited to the examiner on previous examinations. The losses are divided as follows: Forged and worthless paper, $4665 at least questionable paper. if not forged. $2OO. 900: Steel Ball losses, $1S0, GOO; real estate losses, S153.- . 900.
 The report says that the examina- tions of the bank in years passed have always shown it to be in fine condition and that the last examination showed absolutely no suspicious circumstances. MT. Jones considers it one Of the most remarkable examples in banking that croOkedness on such scale could be concealed. He says that even prior to the organization of this bank it is now common report that many crooked things were done by the Stenslands when they conducted a private banking institution.

IL is a miracle that the man escaped with his life, for the bar fell from a height ,ot nearly fifty feet and with sufficient force to almost bury itself in the loose rock on which GOggins was standing Had il struck him fairly on the head desth would have been instantaneous but Fortunately it was only a glancins blow, and the blow, though severe. was or only enough force to make a slight scalp wound. Upon regaining con sclousness the man was taken to the hospital, where his injuries were at tended to by pr. Pennel. At the time of the accident Goggins was superin- tending the placing Of several new arc lights for the use of the night force at work between the coffer dams. and on account of the rush to have them in place as soon as possible he was as SlStinS in the actual work of hanging them at the time the accident occur red.

Suspect Killed While Re-
Sisting Arrest.

Butte, Mont, July ia Miner special
from Billings. Mont, says:
News has just reached this city of a
most daring holdup which occurred near
Laurel today, and in which three men
were compelled at the point of six-shoot-
ers to give up their money, amounting al
together to nearly 500.
The party of men were travelling on a
freight train, as they were unable to get
a passenger at the time desired, and when
at the water tank near Laurel the car
was boarded by five marsked men with
six-shooters Perry Little, a passenger,
was struck a heavy blow on the back of
the head with a gun, as he threw away
his pocketbook containing $36 in money
and also bank drafts in the sum of $500.
Later he found the drafts, but could not
find the money.
The robbers relieved the men of their
on their faces. Leaving one of the gang
to guard the PROSTATE men, the robbers
went TO the next car and went through
the same proceeding with four men in
that car and completed their work by

the deputy at Columbus to be on the
lookout for the bandits. When the. train
reached that place a search was made for
the holdups, and three men supposed to
be the right parties were found. one of
them who attempted to get away being

HUMAN FREAK
VISITS OGDEN
Man Comes to Town Who Can
Do More Bodily Twists
Than Bill GIaSmann.

Ellis Whitman, who is known the coun-
try over as the human rattlebox, ar
rived in Ogden from the west yesterday
morning and will remain for few days,
during which time he will call on local
physicians. Whitman halls from New
York and is known to most all the ply
sicians and surgeons in the country. he
can dislocate at will any joint in his body
and remove many of his internal organs
from their normal position as he pleases.
The latter feat is perhaps the most re-
markable that Whitman performs. 1t Is
said that there is not another case on rec
ord of man being able to throw these
organs out of position and in this re-
spect he is of great service to the sur
gical profession Withuot any apparent
effort he can dislocate his neck, larnyx.
shoulders, ribs, hips, elbows. wrists, knees
and ankles. X-ray photographs taken of
him show that the heart moves downward
to the pit of the stomach, the base and
apex being thrown several inches out of
line The liver moves upward to the vi
entity of the lungs.
This remarkable individual is but Il
years of age and has been able to go
through these diSlocationS as far back
as he can remember. He possesses great
strength, performing many difficult feats.
While giving exhibitions throughout this
country and Europe, he was exhibiting
before the Prince of Wales, now King
Edward of England, when ne received
the title of human rattleboX."

the UniversaIist Church

Detroit, Mich, July 11-Five hundred
delegates representing twentyone states
were present tonight at the open session
of the seventeenth annual convention of
the Young Peoples Christian union of the
Universalist church. Frank F. Bennett
of Massachusetts brought greetings from
the Universalist general convention.
''Universalism is not negative religion
as some have supposed" he said. We do
not stop at saying there is no hell, that
all men will be saved in the end, but we
seek to arouse the positive forces that
make for character. Our fundamental doc
trines are supposed to be detrimental to
any evangelical activity. This SUPPOSE
ton is erroneous. The fact that our
church has young peoples organization
shows we believe in the revival of the
individual expression of religion"

his annual address, which followed Mr..

the Utah Light & Railway people is that
it will furnish the power at the power

be up to the city to build the transmits
sion line a distance of several miles and
make its own arrangements and rates for

not recognize the fact that to hold the
business and succeed they must deliver
the goods He thought Utah merchants
were too SLOW He referred TO the state
ment that steps were being taken by Los
Angeles jobbers to invade Utah territory
and urged the merchants to wake up,
organize and put UP a fight to hold the
trade which belongs to them.
Willard Scowcroft of Ogden pointed out
that the present organization might prove
an important one for the Jobbers as we'll
as for themselves. If the retail men are
properly organized and look after their
credits as the intention seems to be, they
would not have TO ask for extensions
from the jobbers. The matter of looking
after the credits was the most importan mt
work the new organization could under
take. It's benefit would be felt all the
way along the line and up to the manu-
facturer.
Other speakers were J. NJ Marriott of

evening and songs were sung by T. o.
