Years until the first of last month post
master at Poland, was arrested at
foianu To-Day on the charge of max
ing false returns to the postoffice de-
partment at Washington relative to
the number Of stamps cancelled at his
Office. The specific charge is that be-
tween Dec. /, 1907 and Jan I. 1868.
Postmaster kimball reported to the de-
partment that he had cancelled stamps
TO the amount of $3S. whereas, it is
claimed, ne had cancelled only SIS. He
was brought here and ar-aigned be-
fore United States Commissioner Brad

the Boston division, who was assigned
TO this case with Inspector Robinson
of this city, says that kimball ack-

his entire revenue from the percentages
given him on the number Of cancclla-

BANK WAS SOLVENT
But Depositors Failed to Stand by 1t
And Now 1t Is Not.

Carson. New, Feb. 19-During the
examination of l.. 3. Hickey, president
of the State Bank x Trust Co. yester-
day, before the justice court, Bank
Examiner Miller on cross denomination
stated that his investigation did not
reveal anything criminal in any of
Rickey'S loans or connections with the
bank. He admitted that he had stated,
when the bank was first closed, that he
thought it solvent The trading of ac-
counts he believed had put the bank
in an unsafe condition
Atty. Gen. Stoddard. who is also
clerk of the bank commissioners, tes-
tilted that he had signed the first
statement that the bank was solvent.
This he did upon being furnished N
formation b ythc commissioners. He
was confident that this statement was
correct and had the dcpositors signed
a contract giving it time. the bank
could have been saved. At present he
did not believe the bank solvent.
Several clerks OF the institution were
on the stand and AL agreed that they
had no idea that the bank was inSol-
vent. They were in fact all depOsitors.
1t is believed several days vet remain
to camplcte the investigation.
