Married at Ansley.

A very pretty wedding was
ceremonized on Sunday evening
last, October n, at the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, at Ansley,
in which Rev. Raymond Rush,
pastor of that edifice, performed
the duties of uniting in the holy
bonds of matrimony Miss Cora
Foster Of Ansley, and Leo Dean
of our city.
The wedding ceremony took
place Immediately after the regu-
lar service Sunday evening and
was witnessed by quite number
of young people from Broken
Bow, who, having got wind that
the marriage was to take place,
boarded the evening train and
hied themselves to Ansley to be
on hand with the rice.
Miss Foster is the youngest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. O. B.

Broken Bow Banks
Solid as Gibralter
As a Precautionary Measure and to
Avert Disaster, They Pay on
Checks in Bank Exchange.
THE STRINCENCY is TEMPORARY

The failure of the bank in New
York city, of which F. Augustus
Heinze, the many times million
aire copper miner, of Butte, was
president, caused the failure of
several New York and Brooklyn
banks. This naturally threw a
scare into depositors and as they
were likely-in the excitement
to make run on their banks a
wise and precautionary measure
was adopted which will prevent
the closing of many financial
institutions.
The same plan was decided
upon by the Broken Bow banks,
although each one of our three
institutions have plenty of money
and could easily pay in full, and
their action meets the hearty
approval of all our business men
and largest depositors.
THE PLAN.
The policy is to suspend cash
payments for the present and use
cashiers checks, certified checks
and clearing house certificates
instead of cash.
Anyone having a deposit can
draw checks against it, as usual,
to pay his debts or accounts.
The person who receives a check
can deposit it in his own bank, as
usual, and receive credit for it,
but he cannot, except in certain
cases, get the cash on it. He
can, however, get it certified by
the bank and then any merchant
or business man will accept it in
payment for bill of goods or on
account.
If he wants to use it in smaller
portions the banks will cash it by
giving him cashiers checks for it.
FOR INSTANCE.
The Broken Bow banks do not
entirely refuse to cash checks,
however, but on deposits of from
$40 to $3.50, will pay $40, on de-
posits of from $3.50 to $1,000 they
will pay SIS, and over $1,000, $25.
If you have a check for $25.00|
the bank will give you five certi-
fed checks for S. 90 each which
you can use separately, just the
same as currency, by simply
indorsing your name on the back.
This is not, of course, as handy
as being able to get the ''long
green" but it will answer every
business purpose and is plan
that will prevent many-who be-
come duly excited on the least
provocation-from making a run
on their repositories and in some
instances causing disaster. The
idea is good one and will
prove beneficial everywhere.
A CASE OF CONFIDENCE.
One citizen, who has about
$500O.00 on deposit, went into tn e
Broken Bow State bank on Tues
day, and, not having learned of
the temporary precaut o n airy
measures that had been adopted,
wrote his check for$100, remarking
that he was going out to buy
stock. Vice-President Kimber-
ling informed him of the state of
affairs and the measures that had
been adopted, whereupon, the de-
positor tore up the check and
taking $500.00 in bills from his
pocket deposited it in the bank
along with his other funds.

Tuesday morning court opened with

The hustle attending the court pro-

before the doors are open the crowd
packs the stairways down into the
court house yard. When the doors are
opened by the guavds the court room
is rapidly filed and then the doors are
closed to all except members Of the

ed as the peoples governor, the min
ers believed that they would have no
opposition from the governor and only
need fear the federal authorities.
Orchard then wandered around the
the country for a number Of years
working first here, then there like the
rest of the working class. AS he told
of his wanderings as wage slave one
could trace the economic cause for his
lapsing into wellpaid crime. 1t was
easier and more interesting than work
ing.
He told Of working in the Cripple
Creek district, and Of his plans with
Federation officials to commit num-
berless crimes. How he was offered
5000 to blow up the level Of the Vim
dicator mine where the scabs were
working and how the superintendent
and boss were killed; Of the arrange
ments for paying the money over; how
he quit working and devoted himself
to deeds of darkness. He implicated
numbers of Federation men, telling
continually of the orders he received
from Meyer and Haywood.
He told of wrecking Cripple Creek
train, and it was hard to get his money
for the job, so he decided to turn in
former, and went to ID. c. Scott, the
famous detective employed by the rail
road This man is one of the greatest
scoundrels that ever bounded the work
ing class.
Then came the stories of the plots
of Mover, Haywood, Pettibone, Simp'
kins, Orchard, Steve Adams and others
TO kill Governor Peabody, and of the
manufacturing of bombs in Pettibone s
thore; of how Orchard and Adams
killed Lyle Gregory, detective; how
they blew up the Independence depot;
how he went to California and blew
up Bradley who was president of the
company in the Occur d'AleDes during
the trouble. The gruesome tale then
went on to tell of attempts on the
lives of Judges Ged lard and Gabbert
in Denver, giving as a reason that as
these men returned decisions against
the working class, and they could get
no Justice they must take the law in
their own hands.
Details were gone into as to the
making Of bombs, and one of the in
fernal machines was presented as an
exhibit. And then the tale came down
to the Caldwell affair, varying nc
whit from what has been published.
One of the assertions made was that
Dave Coates proposed the kidnapping
of one of August Carlson s children
and said large sum could be realized
that way.
Another was that the Federation ring
proposed to kill Steunenberg, and then
send a man back TO Patterson, New
Jersey, the anarchist stronghold, tt
write threatening letters to others high
in authority.
Orchard was a day and half Civ
ing his testimony. The performance
was a psychological study. The mar

who gave about the same testimony;
M. A Ballantyne, a Caldwell merchant,
who identified Orchard as Hogan; and
Julian Steunenberg, son Of the dead
man, who had held conversation with
Hogan as to when his father would be
home.
l.. j. Bowman had met Hogan at the
Pacific Hotel in Caldwell where he was
stopping with Jack Simpkins under the
name Of Simmons. This witness iden-
tilted a picture of simpkins as the man
he knew as Simmons.

The temporary school buildings,

QUESTION again when the new school
term begins February II. At last
nights meeting of the board of educa-
ton the building committees sugges-
ton that the unused temporary struc-
lures at the Washington street school
and the Boyd street site be torn down

part of DIR. Moore, who declared that
they might be very useful next term.
He counseled waiting till the new en-
rollment had been made before any
such steps We're taken and his recon-
mendation was followed
One of the temporary buildings at the
Washington street school is being
moved to the Fifty-second street school
site.
The Utah street addition bids fair to
cost the city almost $500 more. When
l.. w. Stewart, the contractor, mada his
original bid he failed to take into con-
sideration a toilet and plumbing, which,
however, was clearly stated in the spec
iications. AS a result he is $1527 the
worse for the contract and the old
building committee recommended pay
ing him the difference between his con-
tract price of $11. 400 and the next low
est, which was $775 higher. The recon-
mendation reused no little discussion
among the members and it was finally
referred back to the new building COM
mittee.
The old Eighteenth street school
property will shortly be placed on the
market and the proceeds will be de-
voted to purchasing some other school
site. or building.
The board last night authorized tho

for a school building in the vicinity of
