ANOTHER BANK WRECKED.
Less Than $1,000 Out of $4,000 De-
posts in Vault.

The Middleport Bank, private institu-
ton at Middleport, Ohio. failed to open its
doors yesterday, as briefly reported in The
Star The greater part of the deposits.
amounting to $115,O00 are missing. and
| great excitement prevails. Most of the de-
! pcsitors are poor people, and their deposits
represented nearly all of their savings.
President E. c. Fox went away last Tues
day. leaving Vice President 7. S. Armen-
trout in charge. An examination of the
vaults after Fox had gone revealed $1,000
in cash and paper worth less than $4,000
on it's face to account for the $115, 900 de-
posted.
Armentrout was arrested and taken to
Pomeroy. where he gave bond for his ap-
pearance today President Fox has been
found at Toronto, Ohio where his wife s
parents live. His arrest has been ordered.
William Horden, an old merchant, became
so angered over the loss of deposit that
he took revolver and sought Armentrout
at his home, with the avowed purpose of
shooting the banker. He was intercepted
just in time to prevent the crime.
Armentrout was formerly Presbyterian
minister at Gallipols, and on the sOlicita-
ton of Fox resigned the ministry June l.,
converted his property into $4,000, and
entered the bank as equal partner with
Fox. perfectly unaware of its financial con-
dition He has lost his $1,000 and is now
almost physical wreck from worrying
about the outcome of his new enterprise.
Before leaving Fox drew out all his per-
sonal deposit and that of his wife, whom
he recently married at Toronto, Ohio. 1t
also Is found that the bank building is
mortgaged to its full value, and the Fox
house. one of the finest residences in Mid
dleport. transferred to Mrs Fox, as
was also his other property.
Fox came to MiddleDort a few years ago
from Kansas. He started a national bank
in Middleport, but recently the affairs of
that bank were wound up. and he opened
a private bank In the same building.
Middleport is a prosperous village Of
1000 The largest single deposit in the
bank is 81. 900, the remainder being in small
er accounts, running down to a few dollars.
There was no suspicion on the part of the
public that the institution was in such a
condition until Armentrout closed the doors
yesterday and filed a deed Of assignment
to w. F.. Reed. president of the Farmers
Bank and Trust Company at Pomeroy. 1t
is not believed that Fox took more than
81 900 in cash away with him.
Fox was active in town affairs and soon
got into the village council, the school
board, and became generally popular. He
leaves his young wife and a baby behind
him.
A hasty examination of the assets Of the
bank shows that the depositors may real

BRYAN TO TALK FOR HEARST.
Offers Services to Democratic Cam
paign Managers.

Homer Bassford. staff correspondent of
the st. Louis Republic with William j.
Bryan has telegraphed his paper from
Oakland as follows:
william ]. Bryan will support Hearst
with all possible enthusiasm. He appears
to be particularly DESTROYS in the interest
of truth and for party good to set at rest
the rumors that have indicated a breach
between him and the New York nominee.
Mr.. Bryan told me that he will not only
support Mr. Hearst in his public utterances
and privately as far as possible. but he
will, if requested. go to New York and make
speeches in the interest of the Hearst candl-
dacy. He says that Hearst is a strong
candidate and has strong personality.
and that he hopes for his election to sue
coed Governor Higgins.
More than this Mr.. Bryan declares
without reservation that it is his belief
that If Hearst is elected he will make an
efficient, capable executive.
said Mr. Bryan: Hearst is a resolute.
fearless democrat. | certainly hope for his
election. In the event that he succeeds
to the place held by Governor Higgins at
Albany. | feel sure that he will make a
high-class executive and will carry out all
OF his own and the party's ante-eiection
pledges.
When l asked Mr.. Bryan to say whether
he would lend his personal support to MI.
Hearst he said: i feel that have al
ready made 1t perfectly clear that the nom
inee of the New York democracy has my
complete support. Whether | shall go into
that state on a speech making campaign
for the ticket depends altogether on the
issues involved and the demands made upon
me by the gentlemen in charge Of the de-
mocracy of New York.
IF the battle is to be fought on purely
local questions. | suppose there will be no
occasion for me TO go into the state for
the purpose of addressing the people. but IT,.
on the other hand. the issues are to be
national in scope. then l shall be only too
happy to place my services at the disposal
OF Mr. Hearts campaign managers"

Cement Walks Started.

Frank Waller, of Salida, the cement
walk contractor, has arrived and COM
menced construction of the cement
walks, that have been ordered, consist
ing of three blocks running north on
the east side of Main street from 4th.
Those in the business district will be
twelve feet wide with six inches of
concrete and will cost l9 cents per
square foot. Residence walks are to
be four feet in width with four inches
of concrete and will cost l7lsc per square
foot. Work has already commenced
and the first block will be completed in
a week or ten days. Thus begins what
everybody seems to hope will be an era
of concrete sidewalk building, that will.
as quickly as possible. take in the en-
tire town, includ ing the different resi-
dence districts. The contractor, Mr..
Waller is concrete sidewalk man of
long experience and is said to be one of
the best in the state. The mayor and
council and their advisers have had one
thing in mind above all others in manag-
ing this work and that is to get the
best walk that can be laid, have it
uniform in appearance and construction
and thus avoid crazy-quilt system
which would prevail if one man were
putting down his kind of walk and
another was following out his particular
ideas. The mayor and council have had
in mind the best interests of the town
and the citizens who are paying for this
work
