WISE PRECAUTION.

As may be seen from thelneys coll
.unans OF The Bulletin this morning.
Cairo banks have fallen into fine with
like institutions In nearly all the cities
Of any consequence In the country.
They have decided temporarily to pay
checks on open accounts in clearing
house certificates and to require the
ninety-day notice for Withdrawals
from the savings banks
All the banks of the city are In the
arrangement and all have combined
to support whatever certificate may
be issued. depositing securities with
the manager OF the clearing house
against which the certificates will be
issued to the amount of rs per cent OF
the. value pf the secllrities.s business
men generally will accept these GER
tificates In their daily transactions,
the same as currency. as is shown By
IN agreement published elsewhere
which all signed who could be reach.
ed last night and which others will
sign today. Probably no business
man who understands the situation
will refuse to receive the certificates
the same as cash This win greatly
simplify matters and permit the bust
ness and Industries OF the city go on
smoothly.
Cairo has never been much dis.
turbed by the financial troubles OF the
country and the action now is not
because OF any local conditions. but
becarse of the action of banks In 9TH
er cities. which has resulted In with,
drawing currency from circulation.
The dispatches this morning an
nounce that practically the entire
country is on check basis II would
be foolish for Cairo banks to under
take to pay all checks that might be
presented and thus seek to supply
the entire country with money
There Ia more than enough money
in the Cairo banks for ordinary pur-
poses. ten times over, probably; but
no bank in the country could stand
such drain rs they would be sub
5ected to. we're they TO do business
In the old way. when all the other
banln Of the country have adopted
the certificate plan.
1t Is confidently believed that the
stringency which has brought about
this condition will pass away In
very little while. and that normal
methods viii be resumed. In the
meantime all the people may rest
sure that whatever direct interest
they may have In the banks of Cairo
IL In safe hands.

HEROIC EFFORTS TO SAVE,
BUT SHOCK TOO GREAT
Gilbert's Hardy Constitution Could
Not Stand Up Under Terri
bic Injuries.

Heroic efforts were made by the
five physicians who had been sum-
moned as soon as Constable Gilbert
was shot, to save his life. He was
removed to his home in Mill street,
and there was made as comfortable
as possible.
No effort was made Saturday night
to probe his wounds or to try to To-
cate the bullet which still remained
in his body, on account of the shock
and his weakened condition.
Yesterday, however, an operation
was performed, and all that could be
done for him was done. He was on
the operating table for some time,
and did not fully rally after the op-

At this operation it was found to
be impossible to probe for and To-
cate the second bullet, which was
still in his body, as he began to sink

bust constitution would pull him
through but the shock was too great

ica western gun fighter A story
was current in the underworld last
night to the effect that Sanders had
on more than one occasion "got his
man."
One of the women inmates of the
lower dance hall is credited with
having made the statement that Ruth
Deardolf had told he short time
ago that in Mexican dance hall a
man had slapped her and had then
attempted to strike her with his fist.
Sanders, the woman said, was in
the room at the time and saw the
assault. He is alleged to have drawn
his revolver and before interference
could be made, to have shot the
woman's assailant dead in his tracks.
Sanders personal appearance was
prepossessing. He was a man of a
little above medium height, had clean
cut square features, was closely
shaven and his black hair swept his
brow.
He was a man of magnificent
physique and the muscles on his arms
and chest stood out in knots and
cords, showing plainly their firm
texture as his body lay upon slab
in the morgue.
Sanders was always neatly dressed
and was careful of his personal ap-
pearance. His hands were velvety

MURPHY THE FIRST
AGAIN IN TROUBLE
ODD TANGLE OF NAMES GETS
BUSINESS MAN INTO HOT
WATER.

Jim Murphy is in trouble again,
owing to the fact that he has a name
sake in Ely. A few days ago suit
was instituted in the district court
to collect sums alleged to be owing
to local business houses. ]. e. MUIR
ply was named as the defendant.
Jim Murphy is business man. He
formerly conducted a lodging house,
but has recently branched out into
furnishing and tailoring establish
ment.
Be it known that Jim Murphy has
had trouble before owing to simi-
larity of names. Since that time he
has adopted the euphonious cogno-
men of Murphy the First" ]. E.
Murphy has been designated MUIR
ply the Second" although Jim Muir
ply does not intimate that the other
Murphy is in any sense an imitator.
Murphy the first is remodeling his
store building. The contractor hav-
ing the work in hand approached him
Saturday and in his smoothest and
most polite tone said:
"If it would be just as convenient
for you, Mr.. Murphy, l would very
much like to have you pay me in
advance for this work
whats the matter now?" asked
Murphy the First.
well you know, Mr.. Murphy" he
said, scratching his head, ''you are
a business man and I'm business
man and this is only business mat
ter. If you've got the money handy
I'd like the money now before I dc
any more work
Murphy paid the money.
'Id like to see you a few momens
at the Office this afternoon, Mr.. Muir
ply" said another business man an
hour later.

fellows? Amt all right? Amt
always paid my bills?"
Eyes, the merchant responded
"but in view of the fact that suit has
been brought against you for ac
counts said to be overdue, we think
