Bullfrog Bank is
Forced to Close

GOLDFIELD, June 29.-Follow-
ing an examination into its affairs
by State Bank Examiner Van Fleet,
the Bullfrog Bank and Trust COM
pany was compelled to close its doors
yesterday. The examination of the
bank examiner showed that there
were but 5 per cent of the banks de-
posts on hand, while the law passed
at the last session Of the state legis-
lature makes 1t compulsory for an
institution of the kind to have at
least Is per cent of its deposits on
hand at all times.
Since the panic, the bank has paid
off 90 per cent of its former deposits.
1t is learned that for three months
past the shareholders of the closed
institution have been putting in their
money in an effort to keep the banks
affairs above water. The chief stock
holder in the bank is owen b. Young
of Grand Forks, North Dakota. He
lately refused to come to the aid of
the bank, giving as his reasons that
he had done all he could do in the
matter.
1t is not known whether or not
any action will be taken by the state
against the officials of the bank; IN
fact, it is not known whether or not
that any one connected with the con.
Germ has transgressed the law.

Firemen Ask
Higher Wages

Superintendent E. c. Manson and
other officials of the Salt Lake di-
vision are devoting a good deal of
time at present to conference with
representatives of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen regarding
changes in pay schedules asked for
by firemen on the Salt Lake di-
vision, says the Ogden Standard. 1t
is understood these demands are oc-
casioned by heavy freight trains on
districts between Ogden and Sparks,
but no details are given out at pres
ent as to the exact nature of the
schedule asked for by the muscular
boys who shovel coal and make
steam and motive power to success
fully handle trains from fifty to
eighty, ninety and ever 100 cars.
Following a state law enacted in
Nevada last winter, a third brake
man is added to all freight crews
where more than fifty cars comprise
one train, but no provision was made
by the sagebrush solons for extra
men with the engine crews on these
ponderously heavy trains. As a re-
suit there is a vigorous protest from
the tiremen who are compelled to
throw more fuel than ever before,
with no increase in the mileage pay

Stories Told by
An Old Sport

II was, to use an expression of
these times, up against it a good
many years ago. l hired out to a
Churchill county farmer to pitch
hay. The farmers name was John
son and let me tell you that he was
one of the brightest men with whom
| ever anne in contact. While |
vas employed on his ranch, an adj
joining rancher brought a suit
against Johnson, claiming that the
latter's pigs had broken into the
formers field and ruined his crop
of alfalfa. When the ase came on
regularly for trial, Johnson was
granted permission to represent his
own side of the controversy. ! have
told you before that this man John
son was exceptionally bright. He
conducted his case in an excellent
manner.
Perhaps you have heard of Judge
Hayden of Reno. He was employed
by the plaintiff. He had a terribly
squeaky voice. When the trial had
progressed quite a while and John
son showed that he was far from an
amateur when it came to law, Hay
den took occasion to remark that II
he we're johnson he would quit
raising pigs and go to studying law.
johnson listened to the compli-
ment paid him and when the judge
had finished he rose to remark that
If he were in Hayden's position he
would quit studying law and go to
raising pigs"
There was quite a little laugh.
The newspaper man butted in and
said he wished to tell them of some
thing he saw in the early days OF
Goldfeld.

More attention has been given to
children's millinery within the past
three years than ever before. The re-
sult is greater number OF designs
to choose from. This branch of the
railliner's art was neglected because it
was not profitable to the milliner. But
now the manufacturers of hats have
begun to produce numbers OF pretty
and inexpensive shapes. which may
be quickly trimmed. and the milliner
has been able to show a variety of
models at price which her patrons
will consider.
