SHE BETRAYED TELLER RuNYAN
Mrs. Laura Carter Was Also Arrested

Mrs. Laura Carter Was Also Arrested
at Same Time in N. Y.
Chester b. Runyan the teller of the
Windsor Trust company, who is al.
legged to have stolen $96,317 from that
company, and Mrs. Laura Carter, the
woman who betrayed his hiding place
to the police after he had given her
a part of the stolen funds were ar.
raigned in police court Saturday.
Where Is $4,000?
What had become of $4,000 of the
total company's stolen funds was still
mystery. Runyan had in his pos
session when arrested $14,410. OF
the balance he said he had lost SIG 900
in speculation in stocks before he dis
appeared from the Office of the Wind
sor Trust company, that he had given
$4,000 to Mrs. Carter and that he be-
lieved she had taken $4,000 more
without his knowledge.
Mrs. Carter said she had deposited
all the money that Runyan gave her
in bank and that it would stay there
if she could keep it there She de-
clared that she could have obtained
possession of all the money Runyan
had if she had tried hard enough.
Concerning her betrayal of Run
vans hiding place she said that she
had felt sorry for Mrs. Runyan and
debated with herself whether to mott
fly Mrs. Runyan of her husbands
whereabouts or to give him up to the
police. She did the latter. she de-
clared because she learned that Mrs.
Runyan was i'll. Although she said
she had no hope of securing the re-
ward for Bunyan, she remarked that
she coUil make use of the $1,000 Of
fered AS She like Runyan, was I'M
der the charge of grand larceny and
the police have yet to recover about
$4,000 which Runyan declares she
has hidden, there is little chance of
her securing the reward.

FOURTH OF JULY DEATH ROLL.
More Victims This Year Than Year
of 1906.
The Chicago Tribune says:

The Chicago Tribune says:
Fifty-nine men, women and chill
dren are dead and 2153 are MANNED,
lacerated or burned as a result of the
Fourth excuses of patriotism in the
United States. The number of dead
does not include five drowned during
the day.
The roster of dead is eight more
than last years mortalities.
Unfortunately, the death roll will
increase day by day, and even the
late days of August will witness addi-
tons to it. Tetanus, that grim after
math of .gunpOwder wounds, claims
its victims by scores and even hun
dreds for weeks after the Fourth.
New York leads all the cities of the
United States in the number of killed
and injured. Ten persons are dead
in the city, while six more are so Sc
riously hurt that it is expected they
will die within a few hours.
There were 116 fires in Greater
New York during the day These fig
ures break all Fourth of July records
for the big metropolis.
Pittsburg, Pa, ran New York a
close second in the grim race, nine
persons yielding up their lives ON the
altar of frenzied patriotism.
Chicago, although the second city
of the country, added only two dead
to the nations total.
The crusade against the deadly toy
pistol seems to be bearing fruit, as
this year only POS victims are reported
as against 304 last year.

College Types.

There are types of character among
the students of any college of consider
able size which are possibly more
distinctive. more clearly differentiated,
and certainly more interesting and en-
PERTAINING to study, than in any other
walk of life. The reason for this is
probably due to the fact that the stu
dents are not old enough and have not
seer. enough of the world and is bust
ness worries to get into a rut, to be-
come crystallzed, so to speak. and lose
their own individuality. However this
may be, there is plenty of individuality
in the characters of college life that

dent and alumnus will recognize and
rejoice to see portrayed in a mimic
world. This popular play will be seen
