IN A SERIOUS TANCLE

A p.ircss dispatch from RawbIac UNI
der date Of July I says that at Il meet
ing of the depostors of the Miners
and Merchants bank tonight at the
Ross hotel startling disclosures were
made, among them that the Miners
and Merchants bank, which consoli-
dated wit the Bank of Rawhidc, is
not and never was corporation.
The meeting was called in response
to II letter from Attorney cGneral Stod-
dard TO the effect that n receiver had
been asked for by State Bank Exam
nitr llofcr, and would he appointed
if the bank or its dtpositors were not
heard from. Vice President Gchrman,i
of the dcfunct bank stated that Vol
ncy l.. Leonard, its cashier, had per-
sona notes in the bank for $4,000,
but whether he had taken that amount
of money out, or how he owed it, he
could not say.
lie said also tat all so called direct
ors had personal notes in for various
amounts.
The Bank of Rawhidc, he said, was
solvent but the taking on of the AT
fairs of the Miners and Merchants
bank had put it into the hole.

ton of tho Merchants and Miners
bank was really a partnership of Vol
ncy Z. Leonard, s. W. Collins, Frank
Knox of Salt Lake and Blatz of the
Blatz Brewing company, and that they
would all be liable for the debts of
the bank, and that in this respect tie
depositors were better off than Il the
bank was a corporation.
1t was stated that George Wing.
field would be here in few day, TO
look over 4hc situation, and then il
was moved that II committee of FIVE
lie appointed to examine tho bank s

Orders were issued yesterday at
Sparks which restore the full time
schedule at all the shops, yards and
round houses of the southern Pacific

With the order also came the an
nounecment that the number of train

date as that place, with its yards anil
engine houses, is badly needed.
The answer to all these announce
monts lies simply in the fact that in
creased and increasing traffic demands
the changes and the fiscal year having
passed, the new appropriations to the
maintenance and expense accounts are
now available.
y

$50 men in all branches The order
increasing train crews affects nearly
80 men directly and indirectly, and the
decision as to extensions affects hum
drcds of day laborers and others not
now employed.

return of its prosperity, and as the
order more than doubles the monthly
payroll at that place All work is 10

DEATH VALLEYS FIRST
VICTIM THIS YEAR
(Bullfr6g Miner.)

According to r. M. Tubbs, who came
in few days ago from Willow creek,
there are grave apprehensions regard
ing the safety of B. X. Brockington,
superintendent of what is known as
the Brockington property on Willow
creek. Mr.. Brocknigton left Willow
creek with one burro some days ago
to examine a water right in the Pana-
mints. He was to return not later than
last Saturday He had not returned
Wednesday of this week, when Mr..
Tubbs left Willow creek, and parties
to 90 in search of him were being or
ganized
The distance Mr. Brockington had to
travel to reach the water right was
30 miles, bat the route lay across
Death valley, and it is feared that on
account of the intense heat at this
season Of the year he perished.
Mr.. Brockington is about so years
of age and has been prominently iden-
tilted with Willow creek interests for
some time. The property of which he
is superintendent was originally locat
ed by Bill Keys, the partner of Death
Valley Scotty, and later sold to the
Du Pont Powder company.
Brockington was a real estate and
cotton operator on Wall street, and it
heaid that in 1893 he lost $7Oo,OO)
Dcotton operations.
From New York Brockington went
to Alaska to regain his losses. He
came to this part of the country about
tw years ago. AS far as known, he
has no family or close relatives living.
Paul Wright, the well known min
ing man, who knew Brockington inti-
mately, said that in all probability if
Brockington is dead he died without
suffering very much, because he is
known to have said often. that if he
got lost or was without water or food
he would shuttle off mighty quick.
With this idea in view it was Brock
ington' g custom to carry with him on
trips that were at all hazardous a
quantity of cyanide of potassium. Mr..
Wright thinks the missing man took
some of this poison with him on his
Panamint journey. Wright says Brock
ington was a man of strong will

ONLY DISCONNECTED
STATEMENTS BY ALA
Especial to The sentinel.)

Canon City, Colo, July 21.-Csre-
full inquiry at the Offices of the Colo
rado state penitentiary has brought
to light the fact that Giuseppe Ala,
who was hung last week for the MUIR
der of Father Leo Heinricns, left no
written confession before going to
the gallows.
There was considerable surprise
on the appearance of Alias alleged
confession following the execution.
However, the matter has been care
fully investigated and it has been
found that Ala left no papers in the
nature of confession, this fact be-
ing made certain by Warden Cleg-
horn.
1t also appears that Ala made var
ious disconnected statements to iiis
death guard during the last week of
his confinement, bat il is the general
belief in authoritative quarters
that these were made under the in
fluence of delusions.

PARTY
COMING TO VALLEY

A. T. Walker, real estate man of
Red Cloud, Neb., visited Grand juno
tion last year and was so impressed
with the Grand valley and the people
of this city and vsley uiat he is de
termined that some of his home
felix's shall see the beauties that so
impressed him last year.
In the Commercial Advertiser of
Red Cloud. Neb., Mr.. Walker has a
double-column half-page article re-
lating to an excursion that will leave
Red Cloud, on Tuesday. July 2S,
bound for Grand Junction. Mr.. Wal
ker denominates this excursion in his
article as n pleasure trip, and in
vites the people of Red Cloud to be-
come members of his party that they
may prove to themselves that what
he has said of the Grand valley is
true in every particular.
OF course, Mr.. Walker is a real
estate man, and while there is to a
certain extent a selfish motive upon
his part in organizing this excursion,
upon the other hand, we believe that,
from the enthusiasm of the adver-
tsement, Mr.. Walker is very deeply
impressed with the possibilities OF
homemaking in this whole country
The following is taken from his
big advertisement to show how Mr..
Walker gets next to his people in
proclaiming what Grand Junction
and the Grand valley have to offer;
Grand Junction, 1t can be truth
| fully said. can beat the world on
fruit | will not try to explain how
or why: but ask you to join us on
this trip and see for yourself.
81 am not simply asking parties
who wish to buy, but anyone who
wishes to go to the mountains for an
outing to join our jolly band. |
don't expect all to buy who go, but
will try to show you the same good
time as though you bought a sec
ton"
Mr.. Walker then goes on and says
that everything that is worth seeing
on the trip from Red Cloud to Grand
Junction in all the splendid resorts
and mountain scenery will be taken
in by the party either coming or go
ing.
This is the character of boosting
