president of the Milwaukee Avenue
State bank Of Chicago has been turn
rd over to Managing Editor keely OF
the Chicago Tribune and Assistant
State Attorney Olson OF Illinois, who
apprehcnded the fugitive banker at
rangler The presumption Is that
Stcnsland will remain in confinement
at the American legation at Tangler
until arrangements have been perfect
ed for his removal to the United
States.
Messrs Keely and Olson will he held
responsible hcnceforth for the safe
guarding of the prisoner. They will be
permitted 10 make their own arrange
ments for the return of Stensland, and
il is said they have under considera-
ton a merchant vessel. the name OF

kee Avenue State bank FOR the recov
cry of The $4,000 which Stensland haH

gier.
From the attitude OF certain officials
at the state department II is believed
that dispatches have been received
which have made the Illinois authori-
ties very uneasy concerning Stensland's
future conduct 1t is said that appar-
entity he suffers great remorse. and
consequently the fear is entertained
that he may attempt suicide before he
reaches the scene of his defalcation.
On the other hand. there Is some fear
hat Stensland's depression Of spirit II
assumed and that he may have In con
temptation Il possible method of es-
cape. 1t is understood here that since
his arrest he has not been left alone
for "a moment and that this watchful-
ness will he maintained through the
entire journey home.

BRATTLEBoRo'S GROWTH
Estimated That the Population Of the Town
Is $500.

The Brattleboro check list contains
over 2l0O names. This Is the largest
voting list Braiteboro ever had. On
basis Of four and half persons to
each voter this would make the popu
lation OF the Dwn about $780, No one
believes that the town has that number
OF people within It's borders, but there
are those who estimate the population
at more than 5000.
An agent Of the Vermont Bible So
clety figured the population OF the
town at 1854 in January, 1904, which
was considerably Ia excess OF the cen
sus report IL Is probable that the
board Of trade will have census made
soon to determine the exact popula.
ton. II Is known that the growth OF
the town has been rapid In the pass
" years aud at the present time the
supply OF tenemenls is much less than
the demand. An effort will be made 10
overcome this obstacle aud to open The
way for still larger growth.
Ia 1909 the population OF Brattleboro
was G6i0, ranking fifth In the state ana
being exceeded by Burlington, Rutland
Barre, Bennington and 81 Johnsbury
In the order given.
