In this case the committee was be,

the man to whose lot it fell to write

wrote to one OF the seminary profess

The Wolf in Switzerland.

Apart from the evidence of it's pres.
ence in tho age OF pile dwellings, the
earliest reference to the wolf In Switz-
erland is in a decree of Charlemagne
Of about tho end Of the eighth CEN
tury. From this time to the latter
part Of the fourteenth century the rec
ords are exceedingly scanty, but dur
ing the next tree centuries they be-
come very common and show the
strenuous fight against the marauder
which had to be maintained by the in
hahtants, and the part which it play
ed in their superstitious ideas. A.
striking fact is it's abundance at the
beginning of the seventeenth century,
which is explained as resulting from
the devastation of the Thirty Years
War. With the end of that century
the period of it's greatest abundance
closed, and from hence onward it be,
gins gradually to disappear. the last
wolf having been killed in Lucerna
in 1865, while the western frontier
districts continued to suffer from it's
ravages until quite a recent date. The
determination of the animal has only
been made possible by the introduc,
ton of modern weapons-Georgaphi

RUN ON BANK CLOSES DOORS.
New Britain (conn.) Concern, Treas
urer Gone, Has $5oo,o00 Deficit.

New Britain, Conn, Feb. 14.-Se
great was the run Wednesday on the
Savings Bank of New Britain, from
which William F. Walker, the treasur-
er, is alleged to have embezzled al
most half a million dollars, that the
bank posted notice saying it was
necessary to stop payment and invoke
the 90day clause.
A director and officer of the bank in
an official bulletin issued shortly be-
fore noon announced that the pecula-
tions of Treasurer Walker amounted
to $450,000. this sum in negotiable Sc
curities being missing. The state
ment is based on the report of the
banks auditors. who have been inves-
tigating it's affairs since Monday.
State Bank Examiners Kendall and
Noble have started an investigation,
but it is not believed that their ex-
animation will reveal a greater short
age than the amount above stated, the
directors saying that the books and
cash balance up to a cent. Over one
half OF the missing securities are in
railroad bonds.
Up to noon Wednesday no word had
been received of the committee of d.
rectors which Went to New York to
hunt for the treasurer and if possible
TO locate some of the banks securi-
ties.
