Ventura, Cal, Nov. 1.-THE bank of
William Collins 6, Sons of this city
closed its doors today and a statement
was given out that the bank is taking
advantage of the holidays, and that
its future course will depend upon the
decision of the bank commissioners,
who will arrive here this afternoon.

been considered one of the most sub
stantial institutions of this country.
1t has deposits amounting to over $780,
600 from the farmers and business men
of this section, but its assets far ex-
coed this amount. The immediate
causes of the suspension are the fact
that ready money was not obtainaDle:
the inability of the farmers to sell their
crops and the bank to secure aid from
its correspondents i'm San Francisco
and other cities. The Collins bank was
established more than twenty years
ago. ID. Edward Collins of the Cali
fOrnia bank of Oakland is it's presi-

TRYING TO BEAT THE FINE
Great Northern Goes to the United

Rebate Case,

Washington, Nov. 11.-Attorney A. B.
Browne of this city today presented
a petition to the supreme court of the
United States for a writ of certiorari
bringing to that court for review the
case of the Great Northern Railway
company vs. the United States This
case is a prosecution against the rail-
road company on the charge of grant,
ing rebates. on which charge, it was
found guilty in the federal court of
Minnesota and the verdict was APP
proved by the United States circuit
court of appeals. The case presents
many interesting phases. the most i'm
portant of which is the company's as
sertion that the Elkins law, under
which a fine was imposed, was repealed
by the Hepburn railroad rate law which
imposed a penalty of Imprisonment for
the offense. If the court grants the
motion to bring the case before it for
this question will be de-
veloped at length.

CRACKED SAFE
Of POSTOFFICE
Professionals Do a Neat Job at
PaySon, This State, and
Make Their Escape.
SECURED STAMPS AND SITS
NO CLUE AS TO THEIR IDEN-
THY.
Especial to The Herald.)

Payson, Nov. 11.-Last night burglars
made raid on the postoffice and Sc
cured about S175 and a considerable
amount of stamps and got away with
out anybody, so far as known. getting
a good look at them. They certainly
understood their work. as they had the
safe wrapped with quilts and a large
rug so that the sound was muffled.
They first broke into Joseph Brim-
halls blacksmith shop and stole
brace, chisel and sledge hammer with
which they did the work. together with
drills which they must have carried
on them. They evidently made a mis-
take in the location of the postoffice
building, as they broke in the back
door of Worsencroft's store, which is
just south of the postoffice, but they
took nothing from there. but centered
their attention on the postoffice when
they discovered their mistake.
1t is thought that some of the gang
went into the Wightman hotel, as a
burglar was found there by Mr.. Car
ter, one of the cOlOred leasers of the
house, about IL o'clock, but the man
was frightened away. although he
pulled a big gun on Carter when he
tried to turn on the electric light and
ordered him TO leave the room in dark
ness, which request was complied with.
The hotel people gave the alarm to the
night officer, f. NJ. Ballard, and he
rushed down to the hotel and it is now
surmised that the robbery took place
while he was at the hotel.
The robbers left no clue as to their
identity, although one of them must
have injured himself in making the
entrance, as bloody finger marks were
numerous on papers disturbed and
blood had also been split on the floor
Sheriff Harmon is here today and is
working in connection with Marshal
Strong on the case. The quilts that
were used in wrapping the safe have
been identified as some that were stol-
en- last night from Mrs. Mary Shuler.

votes.
The matter first came up after the
vote for HOdgson in the First ward on

nounced. Fernstrom moved that this be
added to the Republican vote. which had
not yet been tOtalled. Black objected and
made a rather bombastic speech saving
that nobody was supposed to know that

mented Councilman Wells.
we can't assume that Hodgson, Dem

then GRATED a little without keeping
strictly to the subject
Have you any doubt but that they
are the same person." asked Wells.
Yes, / have reason to doubt it,
braZenly answered Martin, but not with
out some hesitation.
.! just wanted to hear you say it,
replied Wells.
Fernstrom broke loose again at this
juncture
Martin Mulvey, who had been most do
Gle during the evening, here asked a
very pertinent question. He wanted to
know what everybody was talking about

we haven't counted Hodgson's vote on

the time to say now whether we should
