CHAPTER VI.

When We met at breakfast the next
morning there were no signs of the
breach between Vincent and myself
except his unusual pallor, which sus
eested to me that he. too, had spent n
sleepless night.
The girls were inclined to Joke our
solemn faces, but so long as the meal
passed on without disclosing that
something was smiss between us did

IN
AFFAIRS Of
BANK
The ReceiOer and
Bank Commits
SiOner InDOlOed
-=Crooked Deal.

RENO. Aug. 14.--A sensation has
been stirred up by the discovery that
the surety companies that went on
the bond of Frank l.. Wildes. re-
ceiver for the State Bank & Trust
Co. held him up in the matter of a
premium and that T. r. Hofer, state
bank examiner and agent for surety
company aided in the matter.
When Judge Langan decided that
the State Bank & Trust Co. was in
solvent and appointed receiver, he
fixed the receivers bond at $1,000
900. The testimony at the hearing,
given by Cashier Davis, of the de-
funct bank, was to the effect that the
assets were worth 81 100000. The
bond under that understanding was
not excessive
Immediately there was a scramble
by the surety companies for the bust
ness and T. r. Hofer as agent of
surety and insurance companies un
dertook to underwrite the whole
bond, which he did. He quoted
rate of LOO as the premium, which
was satisfactory and the bond was
executed, five companies taking
proportion of the business and sign
ing the bond.
Judge Mack, attorney for the re-
ceiver, examined the bond and re-
ported to Judge Langan that it was
correct as to form but that restric-
tions were found in 1t that the re-
ceiver could not comply with A new
bond was amde out and HOfer then
announced that the premium would
be $4,000 instead of $1,100. One
company retired from the bond and
Hofer informed the receiver that
charge of $3.50 had been made for
services in securing company to
take the place of the retiring COM
pany. The receiver was unable to
get such bond from any other
source than surety companies and
was compelled to accept the rate and
the bond, which in its new form was
executed and signed.
A check for the premium and the
added $50 was made out to 7. r.
Hofer in amount of $3.50 and this
check was cashed by Hofer through
the regular channels. Then came an
agent of one of the surety compa-
nies and informed the receiver that
he had been held up for about ST.
$50 and an investigation was started.
1t was found that the United Sc
curity Co. assumed as its portion
$3.50, 900: United States Fidelity &
Guaranty Co. for itself 100000;
The Aetna Security Co., 100000,
and the Metropolitan Security Co,
$135, 900.
The first rate was sent to these
companies and subsequently the
Guaranty & Security Co. acknow-
lodged the receipt of an additional
amount of premium as did the Metro
politan and Hofer collected, as pre-
viously stated, $3.50 in the premium
check for the National Security Co.
which did not go on the second bond
at all, the charge for procuring an
other surety in its place.
Wildes, when he found that an add
ed premium had been exacted from
him simply because he was in such a
position that he could not help him
self. instituted an inquiry and his at
torneys, Mack & Green, are now
working on the proposition that 81,

Co. acknowledged the receipt of $2,-

Enthusiastic Meeting Last Night at
LUhich nrelinin0ries Were Con-
cLuded.NeW Committees App0int-
ed and W0rk Manned out.

The second meeting for the pur-
pose OF arranging program for La
Dor day was held by the union men
of the camp last night in the Office
of the Ely Stock Exchange on Ault-
man street. Several new committees
were appointed, characterizing the
close of preliminaries in arranging
the celebration.
According to the plans of those in
charge of the celebration, it will be
the greatest of the kind ever wit
messed in Ely No trouble nor ex-
pense is to be spared in arranging
for the affair. The athletic program
especially will be a feature.
The new committees named at the
meeting last night were as follows:
Finance committee. Messrs. MUIR
dock, Dray and Barnes.
Program committee, Messrs. Crom-
well, Latham, Cox, Tolson and Shall
lenberger.
Committee on sports, Messrs.
Barnes, Cox and Moore
Music and amusement. Messrs. Jay,
Skars, and Gordon.
Advertising and rate committee,
Messrs. Cromwell, Reeves, Riley, Cox
and Tolson.
Among those who attended the
meeting last night was Councilman
H. o. Hall, who gave every assurance
that the city council will grant per-
mits for the carrying out of the pro-
gram on the streets of the city and
do all within its power to assist in
success of the undertaking. Formal
application for permits will be made
at the council meeting Tuesday night
The rate committee reported that
the railroad has agreed to give a
special rate of one fare for the round
trip from Cobre to Ely and way
points for the occasion. The next
meeting is to be held at Binford &
Hulse's Office on Monday night.

that he was waiting for a train to
Ely When told that the last train
for Ely for several hours had left Ely
City, Potter said he would walk over
and started up the street.
A half block from the depot he
climbed on butchers cart and start
ed with the driver toward Ely. The
driver stopped after going couple
of blocks and Potter then left the
cart. 1t is believed that he had time
to make his way across lots and to
hide on the trucks of the outgoing
train while 1t stood in the Ely City
yards, making his way to Cobre and
probably stealing his way to Salt
Lake or some other point from there
yesterday.
The manner in which Potter com
Quoted his nefarious work here gives
the impression that he is not a new
hand at the business and that it will
be found that he has considerable
trail of bad checks behind him in
other parts of the west. He is a
udTh CoiHpltttOu, spdlSiy souhS
fellow of small stature and while
here wore brown checked suit and
soft hat. A part of the money he
secured Thursday night he promptly
separated himself from at gambling
tables, but he probably had couple
hundred dollars in his pockets at the
time OF making his getaway. The
fact that the checks he gave out We're
forgeries was not guessed at until the
banks opened yesterday morning.
when notification was given as fast
as the checks were sent in that the
signature portending to be that of
Mrs. Cleveland was forgery. The
checks were made out on Bank of
Ely form. a pad of the checks of that
bank evidently having been stolen
somewhere by Potter. His work was
assisted by the fact that at several
of the places where he presented his
checks he was remembered as a for
mer employe of printing Offices here,
his pay checks having been cashed
