This tribute TO a former Maine man
is paid by his friends in Spokane,
Wash. "When the clods Of earth fell
upon the coffin containing the remains
of Payne T.. Cleaves in the little cere
terry at Lyle, Wash, where pioneers OF
kiickitat county We're gathered to pay
the final tribute OF love and friendship,
there came to close the eventful ca
reer of an unique character, who play
ed his part in a stirring incident on the
high seas more than half century
ago. Cleaves. better known as Jack,
was a native of Cumberland county,
Maine born ut North Yarmouth in 1882,
OF English stock who came over on the
Mayfower in 1920. While apprenticed
as tanner, he sailed before the mast
and was taken prisoner by the Spanish
Armada, locked in Moro Castle and
finally liberated by President Fillmore
in 1851. when it was discovered that d
merchantmen had been seized. Serious
international complications We're
threatened at the time and the Incl
dent became part of American history
Though proud of his ancestry. he rarely
spoke of his family, and his only known
relative was the late General A. N
COrliss, retired, who answered the last
roll call at Denver, Colo, in October
1908. Cleaves served during the Civil
war and became famous as an army
cook. He migrated to klicllitat county
in 1879 and established the first hote
in that part of Washington. where he
was a friend to the early settlers anG
advised them in many matters. He was
the most widely read man in the coun-
try. While his generosity and improv-
'dcnce left him comparatively penniless
at death. his acquaintances of the early
days did not desert him in the hour OF
need" They provided nurses and gave
him every care during his brief sick
ness. and he crossed the Great Divide
with a smile on his lips. The buria
service was simple, in compliance with
the last wishes of the sturdy pioneer
pine sapling was planted at the head
of the mound which marks the resting
place of old Jack Cleaves.''

Geo. S. Rowell of the Portland Ad-
vertiser read a paper this week before
the Maine Historical society on
"Maine's Only Lynching." 1t was a
vivid account of the hanging of James
Cutler by the roadside near Pressure
Isle in the spring of 1873. Cutler was
a hard character who had robbed a
store in Mapleton and when arrested
by Deputy Sheriff Hayden and man
named Hubbard he murdered them
both and burned their bodies in the
camp where they had detained him
over night. He was re-captured at his
home but body of 100 masked men
took him from the officers and strung
him up beside the road. Public sym
pathy was wholly with the mob and
no attempt was made to discover or
punish those who took the law into
their own hands.

Cashier Clark confesses to Having
Used Ten Thousand of the
Funds For His Own
Private Use.
MADE A BUNGLING JOB
The Books Were Doctored up In Such
a Crude Manner That the Ex-
aminer Had Little
Trouble.

R. T. Clark, cashier of the Farmers
Bank, of lakewood, suburb of Han
nibal. was arrested yesterday, charged
with ENLIGHTENMENT of s9,93S of the
banks money. Clark, it is alleged,
admits the emhezzlement.
The bank opened February II. and
the first examination made by the
bank examiner revealed the shortage.
The deficit was made good by the
directors
State Bank Examiner C. w. Watson
of Kahoka, who made the examina-
ton. discovered the shortage Septem-
Der %, but for business reasons it
was not made public until yesterday
afternoon, after all the accounts had
been fully gone over, the shortage
confirmed, and the cashier had made
a full confession. The examiner pro-
nounced the bank in solvent condi-
ton and business will continue, as
usual
1t was an easy matter to discover
the discrepancies, according to state
ment made by the examiner. He said
that the items containing the shortage
were covered UP in the cash book and
in the accounts with other banks.
There were also, he said, fictitious en-
tries in the cash book, and also in the
accounts due from other banks. Dis
coyery was bound to be made upon
the first examination, as the work was
r mt,
Il have a list of some fifty ways in
which shortage could be concealed
but this one was the easiest of all to
uncover"
After turning over all the informa-
ton in his possession to Eugene Mel
son, prosecuting attorney, the exam
liner obtained partial and incrimin-
ating confession from the cashier.
Il have succeeded in getting only
rather incomplete and unsatisfactory
statement from the cashier" said Mr..
Watson. although he had admitted
taking the money. He is not inclined
to talk freely only in brief answers to
questions, and 1t has been difficult to
get much out of him. His guilt is
perfectly plain and unmistakeable and
he does not deny 1t, but refuses to
state what he has done with the
money"
Mr. Watson stated further that he
had questioned Clark closely and the
latter had stated that the money TAX
en- had been Invested and when
questioned as to what kind of invest
ment, had replied 'in a patent right"
He said he had sent the money to
friend for investment, and gave the
friends name as H. L. Branstetter.
of st. Louis. Questioned further he
said Branstetter had offices in the
Temple block in that city.
Clark was formerly in the bank in
Center, Mo- 1t was due to his expert
ence and the confidence in him that
the bank examiners permitted the
bank to run seven months without ex-
animation, although it is customary
TO examine bank once every three to
eight months.

GREETINGS FOR NEW YEARS

To-day is the beginning of a
new year, and as the REVIEW
goes to press, we ponder few
moments to look over the doings
of the past year. Our patronage
has been good; we see many new
names on our list, but the grim
reaper has removed a few from
Us. Many homes are happy, and
many homes are in sorrow, sick
ness and death has left a path,
in the homes and lives of many.
never to be filled. Let those with
happiness surrounding them, stop
to-day and not only think Of the
unfortunate ones, but lend them a
helping hand and give them kind
word. The new year is before US,
and after looking up our short
comings during the year just
closed, let each and all endeavor
to improve This year. We are
grateful for our past patronage,
and our many friends will fud a
welcome at the old stand during
the present year as in the past, and
to one and all we extend A Happy
New Year, and may the year 1899
be a prosperous one for all.
