Mobile, Jan. 3.--The free lance graz
ing methods of Baldwin county sheep
raisers, out of which unquestionably
grew the night rider cases of that
county for which Ross H. Stapleton,
Dick Ptomey, William Robinson, Emile
Lizers and George Brooks, well known
residents of the county, stand indicted
in the federal court here, furnished
two highly sensational chapters Satur-
day night, which will bring down the
law officers of the state upon the per-
petrators.
d. S. Comstock, a homesteader,
living in Baldwin county and who is
said to be the defendant in the county
court there to charge of appropria-
tion of sheep belonging to others, Is
the person around whom the story OF
fear, jealousy, hatred and murder re-
wolves, and which the federal authori-
ties hope to untangle.
Growing out Of all this there is a
feudish feeling among certain resi-
dents Of the county friendly to the
leaders, in the county involved, in the
rather complicated affair, and within
the past twenty-four hours has gained
rather alarming proportions.
James Middleton, farmer and q
man Of family, residing four miles
west of Loxley, Ala, in the heart OF
the grazing settlement of the county
and chief witness for the government,
was shot from ambush while riding
along the county road Saturday even
ing in company with w. H. Wade. He
died while being brought to Mobile
yesterday for surgical attention.
While this scene was being enacted
near Loxley, another, equally as SEN
sational, was taking place at the home
Of d. s. Comstock, some distance re-
moved. Huddled up in the corners OF
their home, fear written on every line
of their features, members of the fam
lily heard the rattle of guns without
and the spatter of leaden messengers
of death against their house. Accord
ing to report reaching Mobile last
night, the Comstock residence was per.
forated by eight bullets. Members OF
Comstock's family experienced narrow
escapes from bullets that came through
the weather boarding.
Those are the two sensational chap
ters added to what has become known
to in federal court circles as the Bald
win county night rider case.

So far as the detail working of the
system is concerned the Post Office
Department, no less than the public at
large, seems to he in state of gen
eral perplexity. The financial side of
the question has received a great deal
of attention, yet, unfortunately, is far
from being settled.
All that appears definite is that
there remain a great many important
questions unanswered. For example,
nothing actual is as yet known CON
corning the very vital detail as to
what banks shall be chosen as deposit
tories for the savings funds.
The law directs that the funds shall
be portioned out among the solvent
banks in a ratio proportionate to Their
capital.
1t therefore becomes necessary fol
some one to say whether a bank is
solvent or not. For this purpose, Il
is believed that a report of the condi
ton of all banks receiving deposits
shall be demanded. In the case o
the national banks the trustees viii
doubtless get their information from
the Comptroller of the Currency, VIII
has regular reports from the bank
in the system and can fairly well tel
of the conditions of those banks.
In the case of state banks, trus
companies and savings banks, whic
= are generally state institutions, n

definite way Of determining the
has been arrived at. 1t is
now thought that it will possibly be
incumbent upon the managers of the
postal savings banks to call upon the
State Banking Superintendent for
the information upon this score. On
the other hand, since the Comptroller
of the Currency is now working in
such close relationship with the State
managers it may be practicable to
gain considerable information direct
ly in the Treasury Department.
From the foregoing it will be read
lily seen that the practical working
of the entire Postal Savings Bank sys-
TEN is, at present, in an exceedingly
complicated and incomplete condition
Time alone will give the final answer
to the question of their practicability
| in this country, but the indications
certainly are that for a long time af
ter they are started they will continue
to be very much in the experimental
stage.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS
CONE With new YEAR

After numerous postponements then
date of the Inauguration of the Postal
Savings Bank system has again been
finally decided upon. Actual opera
ton is to start with the opening of the
new year.
For some reason not very easy to
grasp there appears to be a most re-
markable lack Of information forth
coming from the authorities at Wash
ington regarding the whole matter
and for many weeks there has been
such a complete silence on the subject
that the general public has almost
forgotten that such things as post
office savings banks are to be estab-
lished.
Since the end of October not one
word of authoritative news has been
given out from headquarters regard
ing the matter in which these banks
are to be operated The designation
OF one town in each State as an ex-
perimental station has been the last
real information given and from this
one may gather that the committee in
charge is still working. For the state
of Illinois the small town of Pekir
has been chosen, it being the idea tC
