HIS TuRN cAME\
The Way the Liquor Man Got Even
With the Bank Teller,

Many years ago there lived in Rut

name, which name we will call W. o.
Jones. One Of these men was a dap
per young bank teller; the other waa
engaged in running a cigar store with
a saloon attachment In the rear. This
was in the days of prohibition In Yer.
mont Every three or four weeks the
latter Jones would be haled into the
police court and fined for liquor sell
ing, which was chronicled regularly in
the daily papers. The bank teller grew
nervous about It, and one morning this
announcement appeared: SW. o. Jones,
the popular young bank teller Of the
Rutland National bank, wishes It to be
understood that he is In no way con-
nected with the saloon keeper and
hopes their names may not be con-
founded"
Now, it transpired that a few months
afterward this young teller failed to
appear one morning at his accustomed
window at the bank. Upon a hasty
examination it was found that $4,000
or more Of the funds OF the bank had
also disappeared. The wires were
called into requisition Immediately,
and after a few days he was located
in Denver. 1t was the old story. He
was brought back, incarcerated, tried,
etc.
1t was now the saloon keepers turn,
and this notice was duly published in
the same paper that issued the pre-
vious one: "W. o. Jones, the widely
known business man Of Merchants
