Samuel ID. ~Livengood, owner of
the wrecked Farmers bank at
Meyersdale, was brought to Somerset
charged with embezzlement by vii
liam p. Meyers, a depositor, who lost
s 5000.
Livengood gave bond in $500 for
his appearance. When arrested he
had not money enough to pay his fare
on the railroad, and Constable Gil
bert paid the Coo.
The Farmers bank, an old and es
teemed institution, closed its doors,
there being not a dollar in the vaults,
About 300 foreign miners had money
on deposit in the wrecked bank. They
are heavily armed, ard say they will
lynch or shoot Liyengood on sight,
and heavy depositors will likely prose
cute him for larceny by bailee. No
good reason for the failure has been
found by the assignee.
