AGAINST DOLLAR CHECKS
Law Does Not Refer to Checks in fhc
 Ordinary Course of Business.

Congress passed q Jaw at the last session forliddin& the issuance of checks for less amount than Sl. and tho law is being nisconstrued by
 many. It does not prohibit the issu- ance of q check for any amount in the ordinary course of business. anl the government even issues checks of this sort for amounts not exceedins fifteen cents.
 The law intended to reach those checks that are made in Imitation of greenback and circulated as currcn cE and not to cover such checks as are sent in the ordinary course of
 business, to pay accounts and to dis charge obligations.
 Checks for 10 cents or even for one cent are just as legal and just as good as far as they go as checks for s10. GOO, when they are issued by regular
 bank depositors, and not issued in imitation of currency or to circulate as such
 There seems to be 6 general mis- conception of the law, and instances have been known of a refusal to ac- cept cheeks for less than sl for fear Of violating the law.

to the Butler morguc and viewed by

rator and paInrhanger by trade. He
was evidently out Of work and out OF

The liberal newspapers OF Madrid
enthusiastically applaud the N'rl'e :,
independent act of the government:
The republican newspapers promise
their support and urge the government
to perscvere in its policy. The Universe

Catholics are ready for the struggle.

Count Sagasta, minister OF the III

sItNAHC KILLED.

After fight with the police which
lasted two hours, during which many
rifle shots were exchanged, George
Stout, a maniac murderer, was killed
on the top of a culm heap in the
Green Ridge section of Scranton Pa,
about . o'clock yesterday morning.
Stout's body was riddled with bullets
from the rifles of the police.
Mayor John Won Bergen, Director
of Public Safety O'Malley and Chief
of Police Day headed the police squad
that tried to capture Stout, who, armed
with rifle and revolver, defied them
from the top of the high culm heap,
where he gave battle.
The thrilling scene was witnessed by
thousands of spectators, among whom
the bullets from Stouts rifle went
whisting. Mayor Won Bergen directed
the police to capture the fugitive alive
but as the officers climbed the steep
sides OF the culm heap they were ex-
posed to Stout's fire and had many
narrow escapes.
Finally it was found necessary to
dispatch the desperate man, who was
shooting. to kill, and he fell dead on
the cum bank with over 20 bullets in
his body.
The tragedy followed murder
committed by Stout early in the even
ing. Stout sent in hurry call for the
police patrol from his home on
Wheeler Place. The patrol wagon,
driven by George Kent and containing
two patrolmen, sped to the scene, but
on arriving there it was found that
everything was quiet. While the
officers were wondering why the call
had been sent in, three shots rang out
from ambush, and Kent. the driver,
tumbled from his seat with two bullets
in his head. He died almost instantly.
Presently the murderer, George Stout,
was seen, rifle in hand, scrambling up
the side OF a neighboring culm heap.
Turning around he shouted to the
patromen:
What are you fellows doing there?
Get out of there, quick!'
He leveled the rifle, but did not fire.
He then laid down on top Of the high
bank with his face toward the men and
his gun in position for shot. An alarm
brought squad OF police, with Mayor
Won Bergen, in double-quick time to
the scene. Stout stood up and shouted
his defiance from his high perch, but
every attempt made by the police to
reachhm was met with a shot from
his rifle. The battle lasted for two hours,
and 20 policemen we're engaged in the
conflict.
1t is stated that Stout had suddenly
become insane and that he called the
police patrol to protect his home from
being blown up by an imaginary foe.
