Congressman Champ Clark has a
story OF Kansas City lawyer, lately
deceased. which illustrates the dim

There had been small bank failure
in an Iowa town, and the bank had
gone into the hands of a receiver. The
receiver proved to be dishonest, and
had absconded with what remained Of
the funds Of the institution. Expert
detectives were, however, ON his track,
and he was run down In neighboring
state and taken back to the scene of
his financial exploits.
II was about midnight that the de-
tectiyes arrived with their prisoner,
and Mr. Collins, the principal de-
positor in the bank. and, therefore, the
principal loser. was awakened at his
home and informed by telephone of the
capture
He expressed his qualification and
went back to bed
Shortly afterward he was aroused
to receive another telephone message
to the same effect, from a different
source.
This sort OF thing continued to such
an extent that Collins grew very
wrathy; so that, when he answered
the phone bell for the last time, he
was In anything but an amiable frame
of mind.
Hello. Collins, came over the wire.
Yes. What do you want?"
