.OEFAULTER POOR DETECTIVE
Clever Ruse Of Bank Cashier
Fails Of Purpose.
MONTANA SHERIFF TUMBLES TO GAME
TAKES MAN IN CUSTODY AND
WILL SEND HIM BACK TO
GEORGIA.
MONTANA SHERIFF TuMBLEs TO GAME

LIVINGSTONE, Mont, Aug. %
Sheriff A. S. Robertson has made an
important capture in the person of Olin
P. Farr, who is said to be a default
ing cashier of the Citizens bank of
McRae, Ga.
Farr had assumed the name of w.
W. Wilson and he claimed to be de-
tective sent out to apprehend Ol1n P.
Farr. and under this name he had dis
patched several messages to the di-
rectors of the Citizens bank, giving
information as to the work he was do
ing and his efforts to capture the miss
ing cashier.
In some manner Sheriff Robertson
became suspicious that Detective Will
son might be the cashier wanted, and
later communicated with the officers
of the Citizens bank, who gave de-
scription of the man. In the meantime
seldom left his room and who acted
in a suspicious manner.
Although he was at the hotel more
than two weeks he made the ac-
quaintance of none of the guests and
never spoke to anyone. After guard
ing him for several days, the sheriff
became convinced that he was the man
wanted and so advised the officials at
McRae This afternoon A. L. Ryals,
director of the bank, arrived in the
city and walked in upon Wilson at
his room at the hotel and identified
him as being Cashier Farr, who had
left McRae more than two months ago
and who on being checked up was
found to be a defaulter to the amount
of $4,000.
On being placed under arrest Farr
collapsed and admitted that he was
short in his accounts.

"OLD MUDDY" is COSTLY.
Over Nine Millions and a Half Shown
to Have Been Spent Upon It.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Aug. 22-In his
annual report, made public, the
engineer in charge of the entire
Missouri river, states that since the
appropriations began for the river in
1876, a total of 1884,, 34O9S have been
spent. This sum has protected a vast
amount of property from destruction
by the river, but has been of little
value to navigation.
The improvements for the last year
which have consisted mainly in
revetment work, were as follows: be-
tween mouth and Sioux City, 100000;
above Sioux City, $4,000; at Hermann
Mo-, $4,000; at st. Joseph No. $780,
600.
The amount of freight carried on the
river from the mouth to Sioux City
was $4,000 tons as compared with
200 tons the previous year. Above
Sioux City, the amount was $4,000
tons as compared with 1894 the year
previous.
The amount spent for maintenance
of improvements was $93,54143. The
appropriations made for the river in
1905 have been completely exhausted

Old Man Driven From His Home
Lives In a Tent at
Chester.
His CHILDREN DISOWN HIM
From His Canvas House He Can See
Them Playing Happily on Their Pretty
Vine Clad Porch, but They Speak
No Word to Him.

Within twenty-five feet Of the pretty
home he once owned and to which he
is now forbidden admittance, within
sight Of his wife, who repudiates him,
and his children, who do not speak to
him, Charles F. Ryder, a mechanical
engineer, who in the prime of life was
at the height of his profession, is living
in a small army tent in Chester, Pa.
Surrounded by shade trees and beau
tifully cultivated beds Of flowers the
house is as pretty home as one could
wish. Clambering vines shade the
porch, where the family sit and the
children play and swing in ham
mock. The house was the pride Of
Ryder in his more fortunate days.
On a bare lot, with the sun beating
down on the tent, Ryder has lived for
the last month. 1t is poorly furnished,
this humble home. The floor is Of I'M
carpeted boards There are a cot, a
chair and stove. There are also a
lamp, washstand and clock. When
not listening with strange longing at
heart to the talk of his children on the
other side Of the fence, in watching his
gray haired wife as she walks around,
Ryder sits and dreams of the happy
days when he was beloved by his wife
and adored by his children.
The story Of the estrangement is a
pitiful one. Both wife and husband
deem themselves aggrieved.
"He has not furnished us with any
support for years." said Mrs. Ryder.
She is frail little woman, with eyes
that seemed fearful when she spoke.
1--WE have supported ourselves. He
sQuandered his money and lost all he
had. He was peculiar and brutal to
the children"
81 am a poor old broken man." said
Ryder, a tremor in his voice. He is
f1fty-eight years old. "The old home

children. He went away to work from
time to time, and when he returned he
and his wife were always on the
friendliest TENS. Three months ago.
when he came back, he was forbidden
entrance to the house. He attempted
to force the door, but his oldest son
and daughter prevented him from en-
tering. They rolled him on the ground
and bound his feet. Then they cut the
rope and bound his hands. With the
rest of the rope they tied him to
cherry tree. Finally the son went for
a policeman. The patrol wagon came,
and he was taken to the police station.
There he told the police all he wanted
was shelter They let him CO."
Ryder went to Chester from George
town, Mass, twenty-five years ago. He
was worth considerable money and
purchased large tract Of land along
Ninth street from Eagle to Morton
street. On this he built six houses.
He superintendent the construction of
furnaces at the Seaboard Steel works
and the other steel manufacturing in
dustries tn the place. He made money,
but finally reverses came.
Then he travelled about the country
and spent much Of his money to inter
est capitalists in backing his inven-
lions. To raise money he mortgaged
his home. It was sold by the sheriff.

Ryder says he enjoys living in his
tent. He will stay there, he says, hop
Ing bis children will take pity on him.

THERE is NO CERTAINTY

That a bank possessing millions is
any safer than a smaller bank. The
safety of a bank largely depends on
the men who manage its affairs.
The men who manage this bank S
affairs are self-made.
They are active, progressive and
their accumulations have been ac-
quired by years of hard labor and
conservative management. Their past
success is a sufficient guarantee of the
absolute safety of all moneys entrust-
ed to them.

tie the contest for sheriff and superin-
tendent of public instruction. Sheriff
Lennard fell five votes short of a
majority over both his opponents, D. S.
Carlton and G. f. Beck, and the race
now will be between Mr.. Lennard and
Mr.. Carlton. Superintendent Platts
needed only one vote to tie the COM
bined vote of r. l.. Goodwin and W. T.
Laine, with Mr.. Lame second in the
race. 1t is the expressed opinion,
however, should the official count to-
morrow prove our figures correct that
Mr.. Lame will concede the election to
DR.. Platts. This is conjecture, for no
one has heard Mr.. Laine express his
opinion in the matter. 1t is safe to pre-
dict that, should both contests have to
be decided in the second primary, no
grass will grow under the candidates
feet and they will make the race of
their lives.
1t was hard fought battle and one
in which many uncalled-for unpleasant
personalities were used.
In Fort Pierce election day passed
quietly enough, although every candi-
date was out working in quiet and
systematic way, and as the result shows
it was no one sided affair and only two
majOrities of any magnitude were
polled at this precinct.
The candidates who had no opposition
were John M. Swain, for surveyor;
John H. Wynn, for treasurer; j. h.
Fultz, for clerk and b. +. Hardesty,
for member of school board for first
district.
Mr.. Wynn feels complimented that
the citizens have entire confidence IN
in him. He is of the sturdy tar-heel
stock, having been born near Rocky
Mount, N. c. 1861 and moved to Florida
in 1888. Mr. Wynn has been on the
Indian River for the past eighteen
wears, and since 1900 has lived IN Fort
Pierce where he is a progressive pine
apple grower, having Two plantations
near town, AMI is also member OF ""
city council. He has been member
of Brevard's executive committee ana
twice candidate before the people
once for treasurer and once for coor'y
commissioner. At the organization Oh
St. Lucie county he was appointed
treasurer and now receives the non''n-
