Gun PLAY.


The editor of the Van Buren, (Mo.)
Current Local had a bad scare yester-
day and tells about it in this wise:
We were somewhat surprised when
VIM. Wakefield, one of our valued sub
scribers and a man whom we have al
ways heretofore considered quite peace
able, stepped into our sanctum bearing
in his hands long and murderous look
ing shotgun. Visions of "R-r-retractionI"
fitted thru our mind, but being unable
to recall any blunder we had made, the
next alarming thought to enter our per-
turbed Uranium was that Of robbery.
We had Just begun to congratulate our
self that we had turned over the $.67 we
collected last week to one of our numer-
Gus creditors, when it suddenly occurred
to us that a kind subscriber had only
that morning dropped in and advanced
a dollar on his subscription! We were
preparing to go down deep In our pocket
and produce the solitary buck" but he
anticipated the movement, pulled out
and handed us a step brother to the one
we were about to deliver, asking us TO
advance his subscription accordingly.
With a sudden revulsion of feeling we
thankfully accepted 1t, the while he has
tened to explain that as his gun had been
considerably out of repair for some time,
he had brought It to town with him to
get 1t fixed. tho, SO far. had been unable
to do so. But 1t taught us a valuable
lesson. and we fancy we shall not again
soon be surprised with so much money
on our editorial person.

had appeared hopelessly respondent
He had, however, given his family no
intimation, so far as known, that he

Maxwell was 40 years old and leaves
wife but no children. On November
81 he was indicted for grand larceny
Jointly with former Cashier Arthur
Campbell and Director William Cow
of the Borough bank. There were
other indictments against him, in
volving forgery in a quarterly bank
statement made to the state banking
department. When the three men
were arraigned Campbell and Cow Sc
cured bondsmen, but, to the surprise
of many who knew of Maxwelps popu-
larity in financial circles and socially,
none offered to go upon his bond.
This desertion on the part of men to
whom he had looked for his freedom
1t is said embittered and depressed
Maxwell, and the dependency in
creased before his release was
brought about Daring his arraign-
ment Maxwell's counsel stated that
his client had put up every dollar in
the world that he possessed to secure
the bank, and that he had absolutely
stripped himself to protect the insti-
tuition. Later, on the way to his cell,
Maxwell is said to have borrowed
three dollars with which to buy a
meal or two from nearby restaurant.
At the time he declared that he did
not have cent with which to provide
himself any extras outside the prison
fare. His humiliation was aggravated
when. like a common felon, he was
measured by the Bertilion system and
his pedigree placed in the Jail records.

Maxwell had been regarded as one
of the rising financiers of Brooklyn
and was reputed to be worth 100000
when the crash in banking affairs
came. The home in which he killed
himself was recently made over to
the Borough bank. He was cashier of
the Kings County bank when that in
stitution was merged with the Union
bank four years ago. At that time he
had no property, so far as known, but
he enlisted the assistance Of William
Cow, of the advertising firm of Ward
& Cow, and these two, with others,
organized the Borough bank of Brook
Ign. The Borough bank, operating on
what has been described as liberal
lines" for a time achieved remarkable
success.
