VAN FLEET IS
OPTIMISTIC

Bank Examiner Van Fleet returned
taken him nearly all over the state
, During his absence he has examined
Il good many state banks, has clos
ed up the business OF one and has
another in process OF liquidation.
He left the city to go to Pioneer
where the Pioneer Banking Corpora
liOn was in difficulties. The Bank
Commission was in session when
tae bad day came and ordered the
and to stay there until he secured
the action by the bank officials he
might deem necessary in The matter.
When he arrived, he found the
bank about $l6,uOU short. lie al once
Went through the accounts and nOli-
fled the directors and SIOckaUiders
OF the bank that he should hold them
personally responsible for the short
age in available assets and mention
ed two or three little inrraclions Ci
the state Jaw The directors came
through in a jiny and the depOsitOrs
and creditors of the Pioneer Bank
have bceh paid in lul. The bank
was closed June 80 and on July -
the balance was struck
The Bullfrog Banking and Trust
Company is also in difficulties and in
hands of the bank commission and
the examiner in charge. The officers
of this bank have agreed to come
through with the necessary cash by
August Is with which to fill up their
assets and to pay off all creditors.
These two instances are the first
to come up under the new banking
law and are Il most refreshing change
from the methods of ''liqudation"
pursued by some banks before the
law went into effect.
Van Fleet reports the banks Of the
state in good shape, business quiet,
but steady, and a general tone of i'm
prOvement throughout the whole
state. He was in Nye, Esmeralda.

UNIONS AFTER
GOV. DRAPER

BOSTON, Aug. l1.-Wilh the av-
owed intention OF dcvising ways and
means for defeating the reelection
of Governor L. S. Draper, because
of his veto of the eight hour law, un-
ion labor men of Massachusetts are
gathered today in special convex
ton OF the state branch OF the AM
erican Federation of Labor,
Labor leaders declare that the
present meeting is of the greatest
importance to organized wOrkmen
throughout the country. The call for
the session attracted wide attention
and the action of the convention is
awaited with interest by union men
everywhere.
IT is being pointed out that this is
the only time in the history OF the la
Dor movement in this country, so far
as known, that such a call has been
issued. In several instances local
unions and at times central bodies
have, at their regular sessions, pass
ed resolutions commenting or con-
demning the action of various public
officials. In this instance, however,
the special session of the 225 local
unions and twenty eight central la
Dor bodies affiliated with the State
Branch of the A. r. of l.. is called for
the exclusive purpose of dealing with
such questions. That the outcome OF
this special convention may, and un-
dOubtedly will. have a bearing on tlsr
of voters connected with the unions
of the state, is not denied by men
high up In labor circles, although not
one of them will hazard an opinion
as to what that outcome will be.
Prominent union men, not men,
bers of the committee, make no effort
to hide their disgust over the whole
slaughter of labor measures at this
session of the Legislature. In fact,
some of them openly refer to that
august body as The Butchers OF
Beacon Hill" with Governor Draper
as the Chief Butcher in the legisla-
tive slaughter house."

MYSTERY


Reno authorities into the belief that
secondary clue to the perpetrator
of the Little murder has been found,
proved an altogether different mys-
terry with probably no element OF
crime, when an Indian squaw known
as TOpsy was found dead yesterday
and badly decomposed from exposure
to the elements, within half a mile
OF the scene of the recent tragedy.
Later the body was positively iden-
tilted by number OF Indians as that

Countless clues have been follow

sheriff have traced down numerous
such statements, but the sheriff an

ing extracted. At the present Time
he is having the shaft driven deepe,

and believes that other properties in

$3,30S.15

AS the statement shows, the First
National Bank holds in city war
rants to the account of the Nye &
Ormsby County Bank the sum of
$1S4S.S4. This reduces the actual
amount on deposit in the Nye &
Ormsby County Bank to $1509.91.
Should the warrants come back to
the city the whole amount on deposit
$335S.75 would be due from the
bank
The City Clerk says he and his
bOndsmen are responsible under the
law, which OF course is the case. Tha
case is simply that the treasurer has
cash in his vault, $5656.92, in the Nye
& Ormsby County Bank, $335S.75
and if the bank money cannot be had
the treasurer and his bOndsmen
must produce it, the city will not lose
