Furnishing THE INNOCENT.

Secretary Cortelyou has deposited
S25, 900, 600 of government money in New

ness.
j. Pierpont Morgan and associates
placed S27 900, 900 on the floor of the
stock exchange for call loans at 10 per

stock market.
John d. Rockefeller deposited $40,
900, 600 in one trust company and pledg-
ed $50, 600, 900 if necessary to relieve
the situation.
The clearing house and legitimate
bankers have been straining every
nerve to relieve a situation which was
not of their creation.

A PRAIRIE FIRE

Gregory, S. D., Nov. S.-Three Gregory
men, Messrs. Hurlbert, Wilson and White,
together with Billy their cook, had an
exciting experience while engaged in duck
hunting at Dog Ear lake.
The men had had good success and had
succeeded in killing a large number of
ducks. While sleeping the sleep of tired
hunters they suddenly, at about $50 in
the morning, were aroused from their
slumber by the shouting of parties on the
opposite side of the lake.
The other hunters had realized the peril
of the Gregory men and saved their Ewes
by arousing them from their slumber at
the time they did, for a fierce prairie fire.
was about upon them, and had they not
been aroused when they were it is al
most certain they could not have made
their escape.
HuTriedly dressing the four nlen imme-
diately set about the task of setting back
fires and after strenuous efforts succeeded
in burning off a space sufficient to save
their camp, horses and themselves from
the fierce fire swooping down upon them.
1t was a remarkably narrow escape from
a horrible death.

posts Will not be subject to the special
rules adopted during the financial
stringsncy. The money will be placed
in the local banks as special deposits,
and the ank who deposit it can
draw against it day by day and to any
amount. Quite a number already have
taken advantage of this offer. and if
