The Oklahoma Banking Law Protects
DepOsitors

An exchange commenting on the
recent application of the law says:
Oklahoma has has just experienced
the first operation of its bank guarantee
law, which protects depositors from
loss in any financial institution author
lied to do business in the state. A
little bank which was put into the
hands of the state banking commits
sioner was found to be short $22, 900.
Within an hour after taking charge the
commissioner had drawn from the
state treasury money to pay all de-
positors in full. Under the operation
of the law a tax of one per cent is lev
led upon the available annual deposits
of all state banks and the money thus
raised is used in payment in full of all
depositors of an insolvent state bank
after the funds have been exhausted.
Oklahoma has about everything new
and novel in its constitution. 1t is a
sort of experimental farm for the whole
country. And it has lot of good
things started, some of which are
pretty certain to be adopted by other
states. The banking guarantee plan
is one OF them. States make laws for
the regulation of the banking business,
and officials are charged with the duty
of seeing that the banks conduct their
business in proper manner. If bank
fails the state makes good to the de-
positor. This is only fair.-Everett
Tribune.

And the comic paper colonel
And his cronies we'll may sigh,
For the mint is waving gayly
And the south is going dry.

And the only damp refreshment
Must be dipped up from the rill.

To give the appetite an edge.

KILLING At WlNNEMUCCA

A man named Reilly, a miner, was
killed about 3 O'Clock this morning in
Winnemucca By q faro dealer OF the
name of Conuors. The man who was
gambling at the faro table in the Elite
saloon, lost about s210. and when he
was ali in asked the dealer TO let him
have $40. On being refused, it is said
he attempted to reach for the money on
the table, and as he did so Connors shot
him through the heart, killing him in
stantly.
The lookout kicked Connors in the
face, and be was otherwise badly used
up by the crowd before the officers ar
rived and succeeded in landing him be-
hind the bars. The murdered man was
under the influence Of liquor when he
was killed.
Feeling is at a high tension and 1t is
not improbable that if the officers had
not arrived in time the murderer would
have been lynched.
