The Financial Situation.

The financial clouds appear to be
breaking and drifting by. At least
this seems true so far as the banking
situation is concerned. ifgener al reports
are to be credited. and we may expect,
by the first of the year or sooner, nor
NAL banking conditions. The general
financial situation is righting itself
gradually. That twill take-possibly
months-after the banks have resumed
money payments. to bring about full
recovery, is to be expected.
In addition to the moving of crops.
all sources of money supply will be
opened up as fast rs possible. Even
silver bullion is to be coined to the ex-
tent of millions of dollars and put in
circulation through the pay rolls. A
considerable portion of the money
withdrawn from banks during the first
weeks of scare, will go into circulation
with the gradual returning of conf
dence, and it is not impossible nor i'm
probable that we may, within four to
six months, haye flood of money in
the United States even beyond the needs
of prosperity times.
The people and the banks can help to
bring satisfactory conditions about very
quickly, If they will. The people by
first assuring the banks of loyalty; the
banks acting upon that assurance and
resuming normal business methods,
which, in any event they are likely soon
to be in position to do, all over the
country

Alleged Threat.

The following special from Delta to
the Pueblo Chieftain was published
Monday:
Delta, Nov. 23-The people of Cedar
Mesa, about fifteen miles from here.
are considerably worked up over 4
warning sent Peter Madsen.
The warning or threat notified him
that if he did not leave within sixty
days he would be hanged. This notice
was composed of words mace of letters
cut from a newspaper, which was evil
IDENTIFY done for the purpose of more
effectually Disgusting the author by not
showing any handwriting.
The notice was contained in a small
coffin which was tied to the door knob
during the night, The coffin was about
eighteen inches long and had been made
of hard wood. The workmanship on
the coffin was so well done it showed it
to be the work of an experienced wood
worker
Inside the coffin besides the notice
was small cloth man with a rope
around his neck.
Madsen is a Dane, who, with his wife
and daughter, came here about eight
years ago. Madsen claims he has no
enemies and is at loss to understand
the strange threat.
The sheriff is at work on the case and
has several clews which will probably
lead to an arrest within the next few
days.
n. P Madsen was down from Eckert
Tuesday. He was surprised and some
what annoyed at the early publication
of particulars regarding the gruesome
threat hung at his door. Questioned
about the matter he said he had no
knowledge of who the guilty party
or parties were, but that he hoped to
find out; that while the matter had not
given himself much concern, it had
given Mrs Madsen something of a ner-
vous shock. Madsen doesn't look like
man who would be easily intimidated.

Under the head of miscellaneous
business Judge Carver suggested that
perhaps the members of the associa-
ton would achieve something to their
mutual advantage if they had meet
irgs more frequently. Mr.. Carver
said that it seemed as though the as
ISOLATION never met except for the
purpose of taking memorial action
over the death OF a brother member.
He expressed the thought that it did
not seem to be working as a real live,
active bar association and suggested
that steps be taken for regular meet
ings at frequent Intervals. when pro-
grammeS of interest could be given
and considered.
James A. Troutman conceded with
the views expressed by Judge Carver.
He suggested that the officers of the
association and Judge Carver be made
a committee of five to arrange pro-
grammes for regular stated meetings.
An amendment to this motion was
made to the effect that a special COM
mittee of five be appointed for this
purpose and the amendment pre-
vailed. President Waters will an
not nee the personnel Of this commit
tee at later date.
