If each man, in his time, plays

chance to do plenty of acting in Penn

The bill over on State street, this

special to INC Herald.

PASADENA. Aug. 29.-Tomorrow
morning the Crown City bank will open
it's doors for business.
This is the latest addition to the
banking institutions of Pasadena and
was virtually annexed to the city when
the growing east side was annexed
some few weeks ago, the bank having
previous to that time organized and
commenced building it's future home.
The bank building at the southwest
corner of East Colorado street and
Michigan avenue is now complete down
to polishing UP the front door knob,
and opens with every prospect of a, sue
cessful career.
j. o. Isaacson, for years banker in
southern Missouri, is cashier. w. H.
Bradley, who is a recent conner to
Pasadena but who has extensive busi-
ness interests here already and still
holds connection with several banks in
Iowa, is president.
Three other banking men are con-
nected with the fortunes of the Crown
City bank, Merrs. Shade and Void, who
have had experience with bank man
agement in Iowa and the Dakotas, and
a Mr.. Davis, who comes from a bank
in eastern Colorado. These and other
local capitalists will watch over the
fortunes of the new bank.
The first depositor was an Iowa
woman who sold some property yes
terday and asked permission to deposit
the proceeds in the new bank.

GAIN 1000 NEW TAXPAYERS
Pasadena Treasurer Begins Prepsra-
tlon Of Eight Thousand Tax
Receipts
Special to The Herald.

special TO The Herald.
PASADENA, Aug, 29.-City Treas
urer S. M. Munson has decided to place
~ night force at work preparing the
necessary tax receipts against the
opepning of the tax paying season,
October s.
The reason for this is that the as
sessment rolls are needed in the Office
of the city assessor and auditor during
the working hours of each day, neces-
stating that the treasurer's office force
work nights If at all. The books are
not supposed to be turned over finally
to the city treasurer until the last Mon
day in September. The time would then
be altogether too brief to complete the
immense amount of clerical work re-
quired.
Last year the receipts were not ready
when the taxes began to come in and
the fact kept the treasurers office in q
turmoil for many weary weeks.
1t is necessary to write descriptions
and amounts on over 5000 sheets or re-
ceipts this year and when it is under
stood that occasionally the mere mat
ter OF writing descriptions on one single
receipt takes thirty minutes to an hour
the magnitude of the task set before
the treasurer and his assistants may
be realized. .'I
Treasurer Munson estimates that he
has on the rolls this year about one
thousand and more tax payers than
year ago, indicating a creditable
growth in that time. The extra night
force named by the treasurer is made
up of Messrs. w. S. Nosworthy j. H.
Murphey and ]. j. Walters.
If the work Of preparation is not far
enough advanced by the last Monday
in September to insure the completion
i'm time the treasurer says that he will
put on night and a day force large
enough to do the work.

LAWYER in Court
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
WESLAND, Canada, Aug. 29.-There
was a lawsuit over at Wheatly lately
that attracted a great deal of interest
there. Miss Myrtle Brae inherited sew
eral years ago from her parents a few
thousand dollars and invested this
money in several enterprises. all of
which turned out unfortunately, and a
year ago she was declared bankrupt
and her property taken possession of
by the trustee in bankruptcy, who had
been an ardent suitor Of Miss Myrtle's
and was one of her heaviest creditors.
His name Is Humphrey Digit.
Miss Brae was in debt nearly $4,000
and her visible property amounted to
less than $500, so that the prospects of
her creditors were very poor, but
among other assets that she turned
over to the bankrupt court was claim
of $4,000 made by her against a young
man of Wheatly, a prosperous merchant
named Bently Harrison, for breach of
promise Of marriage.
Miss Brae, being bankrupt, had, of
course. no further interest in pressing
the claim against Harrison, but Trus-
tee Digit, on behalf of the other cred
itors and for his own financial benefit,
and to get revenge as a jealous rival
on Harrison, urged on the suit with
great vigor, taking a deep personal in
terest in it and driving on the lawyers
to do their best.
Harrison made a good fight, too, but
all to no avail, for the matter was given
to the jury recently and they, after
consulting ten minutes only, returned
a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for
the full amount of $4,000, Harrison
was we'll known to be amply able to
pay it and Digit was jubilant over his
success, which insured the payment
of all his claims and the others also,
the most of which he had bought up
at heavy discount, and the further
satisfaction of seeing his rival humbled
and made to suffer loss.
But all of a sudden his bright dreams
vanished. for the jury had scarcely
been discharged when Harrison and
Miss Brae, their faces bright with the
old love light that used to shine in
them, stepped up before the Judge and
were made man and wife by that
astonished officer, who. thereupon, inn
mediately set aside the verdict and dis
missed the suit, as the law required
him to do.
