DIR. ELDER HURT IN A RUNAWAY

Or. G. d. Elder, on Tuesday evening,
was out driving with Miss Agnes Linn
Jones, of Duluth, Ca, who is visiting
her cousin Mrs. i. p Cheney on Law
renee street. The horses are quite
spirited and when he stopped in front
of Mr. Cheney's residence and got out
OF the buggy to help Miss Jones out he
dropped the lines. The horses imme-
dietely searted just as she reached the
sidewalk. DR.. Elder quickly grabbed
the lines and made an effort to get in
the buggy, but failed and became en-
tangled in the lines. The horses were
swift from the start and they went out
South Haynes street. The Doctor was
thrown to the ground and dragged as
far as Mr.. Harry Haynes residence be-
You'd Washington Avenue, where he
became disentangled and was left by
the horses, as they sped on to Roswell
street. In front of Mr., Tom Jackson's
house they buggy came in contact with
electric or telephone pole and was bad
ly wrecked. This collision detached
the horses from the vehicle and they
ran several miles.
DR.. Elder was carried to DIR. Fields
residence. Fortunately no bones we're
broken, but the Doctor was badly
shaken up,bruised and numerous patch
es of skin taken off of his arms and legs
and it will be several days before he
is out on the streets again.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT THINKS

HUNT AFTER CRIME.

New York.-The Knickerbocker
Trust Company, the second largest trust
company in New York city, with de-
posits amounting to about $50 1000 900,
closed it's doors October %, following
a stea ly run of persons who called to
withdraw their deposits The company
officials declared that the suspension
OF payment was only temporary.
The closing of the doors of the insti-
tuition was attended with sensational
scenes at its main banking room and
the Harlem branch. Depcsitors who
crowded the rooms clamoring for their
money were insistent that they be per-
mitted to withdraw even few dollars
and when this request was refused
many declined to leave the building.
Police assistance was necessary to pre-
serve order. At the main office, Fifth
avenue and Thirty-fourth street, after
the doors were closed, the crowd
surged its way inward The police
forced them back to the street again
and from time to time a guard was
kept in front of the entrance
The stock market was very weak

Salt Lake Feels Easy.

Salt Lake City, Utah.-Bankers here
say the financial condition in this city
has never been as good. All the
banks hold large reserves and none of
them are apprehensive as to the out
look. The volume of business here
shows a large increase over last year
and the amount of money in circula-
ton as shown by clearing house re-
ports is considerably larger than at
this time last year.
The news from the East as to the
financial situation was reflected on the
luining exchange here. Stocks showed
declines of from 2 to cents per
share. Conservatives did not rush
shares on the market and this tended
to keep the tone fairly steady.

No Effect on Denver Banks.

Denver.-The difficulties of the
'Knickerbocker Trust Company of New
York will in no way affect any Denver
interests. Denver bankers are opu-
mistic regarding the local situation and
say that as far as they know the Knick-
erbocker company does not represent
any OF the corporations doing business
in Denver and Colorado.
The condition of the banks in this
city and the state was never better.
1t is estimated that there is 5000, 900
in deposits in the Denver banks alone.
The latest statement of the national
banks doing business in Denver was
that of August 22d, and showed that
the aggregate deposits of the national
banks alone were about $52 100000.
The crops in Colorado, with the ex-
ception of the fruit crop, were larger
than usual. and the sugar

It is estimated, s15.750,0O0 to the
state. Cattle and stock shipments
are heavier than last year, there
is an increased demand for fuel and all
kinds of supplies, and the people of the
state are optimistic.
1.-THE condition of the New York
stock market does not worry us in the
least" says the Denver bankers, who
seem to think that the failure of the
Knickerbocker Trust Company was
due to the company's fight with the
New York clearing house, upon which
it depended for support. The erhbar-
