POLICE COURT GLIMPSES.

Edward Willmont achieved his heart s
desire yesterday afternoon in the police
court when ne was sentenced to thirty
days in jail Willmont is a laborer and
one winter, about three years ago, es-
capped from bad weather and the storms
of life through getting himself locked
in the city Jail. He remembered this
haven in his hour of stress and short
time ago, being out of work and i'll,
he went to the jail. in the hope that
the door would be opened to him, but
the stern jailer drove him away, tell
ing him to go to work
But Willmont was persistent. The
aIIuring interior of the city Jail filled
his heart with unutterable longing. Day
after day he ioitered about the Jail
yard. hoping and despairing that
some good Samaritan among the cops
would run him in" Sunday the happy
dav came. Policeman Burns seized
Willmont and charged him with va
grancy. Judge Diehl was at first un-
willing to accept Willmonts plea of
guilty TO the charge. but at last, when
the man said that he had been sick,
sentenced him to thirty days.

raigned, Sam humbly pleaded guilty.
He had evidently been there before
and knew the ropes.
Have you ever been here before on
this charger" asked Judge Diehl.
Il was here ten years ago., answered
Sam.
The courts bailiffs smiled. for they
recognized Sam as a man who had
faced the bar of justice few months
ago.
But Judge Diehl did not remember
the man and set him free
As Sam passed the bailiff at the door
there was a look OF fear and uncer-
tainty in his face. The bailiff eyed him
keenly. Would he seize the deceiver
and unmask the deception which had
been practiced upon the court?
There was a terrible moment of sus-
penSe. Sam reached the door. He
reached the stairway. He reached the
street. Looking back, he saw no pUr-
suer.
Sam breathed a sigh of relief and
passed on into the bright and alluring
world.

ESTATE IN CONTROVERSY.
Brother offers Elijah sargent's Will
for Probate.

A controversy over the estate of
Elijah Sergeant, who died in Salt Lake
Nov. y, 1907, is likely to result because
of the finding of a will made in 1905
while he was in Colorado.
Two days before he died Sergeant
made an Geographic WILL which has
been pTobated here. By this will some
of his property here, including the La
PalOma roOming house, is left to Eliza
beth Oyler. The residue has not been
disposed of. In the former will, made
Dec. 13, 1908. all the property is be-
queathed to Sargeant's brother, who is
also named as executor.

RECEIVER FOR
SAVINGS BANK
Michigan Has S684,00 Tied
Up in Concern, of Which the
State Treasurer Is President.
DETROIT BANKS INVOLVED
EXACT CONDITION OF AFFAIRS
UNKNOWN.

Detroit. Mich, Dec. I'm order to
avoid a threatened run on the bank
tomorrow. and to afford all deposit0rs
and creditors an equal chance in the
settlement of the banks affairs, State
Banking Commissioner Zimmerman to-
day announced that the Chelsea saw
ings Bank OF Chelsea, Mich, would rot
open for business tomorrow. The pres
ident of the bank is State Treasurer
Frank P. GLACIER. who has deposited
In the bank approximately $6S4,O00 OF
the funds of the state of Michigan. At
torney General Bird said tonight that
the state is protected by the state
treasuTer's bond of $150,000 and the
banks bond of 5000, 600, so that the state
would not suffer any loss unless the
assets of the bank should fail TO pay
so cents on the dollar, which is COnsid-
cred altogether improbable.
Conference Held.
The announcement that the bank
would not open tomorrow came at the
close of conference here late today
between Governor Warner, Banking
Commissioner Zimmerman, Attorney
General Bird and representatives of
five Detroit banking concerns.
1t is stated that the banking COM
missioner has been closely scrutinILing
the affairs of the Chelsea Savings bank
for some time in connection with the
private business of State Treasurer
Glazier and of the Glazier Stove COM
pany of Chelsea. The impression was
held that unless Mr.. Glazier could pull
these latter interests through, the bank
would necessarily fall into difficulties.
Much Paper Out.
The five Detroit banks above men
toned, however, in todays conference
announced q decision to petition for
receiver for the Glazier Stove company
in order to protect approximately $780,
900 of paper which they are reported
TO have been carrying for Mr.. Glazier
and the stove company. This action On
the part of the banks, it was thought
would cause a run on Mr. Glaciers
bank tomorrow, and the closing of the
bank was decided upon by Banking
Commissioner Zimmerman in order to
protect all interests alike. The bank
is capitalized at 100000, and has a sur
plus of 100000. Mr.. GlaZier is reported
tc be sick at his home in Chelsea, and
was not present at today's conference.
Statement by Governor.
1oNeIhoi warner lOulSuI gave out
the following statement:
From the information furnished 10
Attorney General Bird and myself this
afternoon, il seems probable that the
difference in the amount of Mr.. Gla-
zier's bonds and the amount of state
funds on deposit with the Chelsea Saw
tngs bank will be more than made up
by the amount the state will be enti-
tied TO receive on the liquidation of the
bank; so as the matter now looks the
state would suffer no loss"
