avail themselves of the thirty days notice
of withdrawal under the state law, be-
cause they feared run owing to the sus-
pension of payment by the Hamilton and
Twelfth Ward banks In the same neigh
borhood. The Empire City Savings bank,
according to a recent statement owed its
depOsitOrs about $4,000 1t is COM

Would increase Buffalo Herd.

Plans for the propagation OF tho
American buffalo were discussed Mt q
recent meeting of the American Bison
Association in New York. 1t was
stated that there were 2,250 in North
America, of which l.i00 are in the
United States, and that in view of tho
rapidty with which the animals have
decreased in recent years ii was ar
gued they will soon become extinct
unless cffectum steps are taken to
foster them.
The society decided to make an Of
fort TO purchase practically all the re-
naming buffaloes in this country and
Canada and present them to the
United States government. By so do
Ing 1t hopes the government will set
aside large tracts of land where the
bison may be raised on large scale.
The society decided to look into the
practicability of locating several herds
OF sbuffaloes on the Flathead Indian
reservation in northwestern Montana,
and In the Crow reservation In south
western Wyoming. Morton ]. Elrod,
OF the University of Montana, will be
asked to report to the society upon

SAID WOMEN MARRIED HIM.
Remarkable Excuse Put Forward by
French Bigamist.

At Versailles, France, recently .
baker was tried on charge of polyg-
amy, having married five women,
who are living and undivorced. The
pentagamists defense was that he
had not married the women; they had
married him. When they proposed
he had not the courage to say no.
Neither money nor love, he said, had
prompted his nuptials; he was the
victim of the stronger wills OF his
successive spouses. OF the five wives
three appeared as witnesses. but did
not prosecute, saying that their COM
mon husband was topper of whom
they We're glad to get rid. He was
acquitted-on what ground does not
appear. AS all the years in which
the multiplex husband took wives
were leap years except 1881, In which
1t would seem that In four out Of
the five cases the women had the
right to propose But the man had
the right, even In the leap years, to
decline, and 1t was up to him &C least
to explain to his fair suitors that he
was engaged. To establish the p-ln.
ciple that man is not respoL sinle
for the number Of his wives .urless
he himself does the courting, would
be plainly against public policy. II
