DIES MONIES, April 29-(special. An Is
months-old daughter Of Mr. and Mrs. John
Garrison was pronounced dead three times
last week and is living today with every
indication that It is past the danger point
Of dying and will recover. The infant had
diphtheria A physician, one of the best of
Des Moines, inserted a silver tube in the
child's throat and during the operation 1t
ceased breathing II was later pronounced
dead and placed on the table. The parents
covered It with a sheet Later II was seen
to gasp and the physician, who had not left
the house, administered a saline solution,
introducing 1t into the infants veins, and it
was resuscitated. II was again pronounced
dead a week ago last Sunday, but a phys
ician was called. The child had stopped
breathing, but efforts were made success
fully to bring II back to consciousness. It
was pronounced dead again last week Tues
day, but was again revived by the same
treatment as was used the first two times.
1t is asserted now that the child will re-
cover.
Receiver is in Charge.
Receiver B. F. Fry is in charge Of the
defunct Seymour Farmers and Drovers
bank The bank was turned over to him
today by Leland Windsor, state bank ex-
aminer. Fry will have complete charge of
the bank and will either wind up its affairs
OF reorganize II. the stockholders wish
and are able to raise the necessary cash.
1t is admitted now by everyone that the
stockholders will be assessed the full
amount of their stock and that even then
the depostors will lose considerable
money. Cashier Ware, when placed under
arrest, intimated that other prominent per
sons in the community would be implicated.
At the office Of the state auditor nothing
new concerning the bank is known today
except that the bank examiner will remain
to complete the examination and determine
the amount of shortage. II is believed now
that this will amount to close to $4,000,
which is almost wholly in the form OF de-
posits, certificates for which were issued
but for which there was no record on the
banks books.
