of the defunct Stale bank of Chelsea
an elevator which ne bought of one of
the bank officers at a price unsatisfac-
tory to the. creditors. The sale was
made a few days after the bank failed
last July, and the matter has been a
source of strife until the meeting of the
creditors November A.
Mr.. Jones told the depositors that he
would give back the elevator provided
a special committee named to represent
the creditors could get more for it
before January l than he paid. The
elevator was the property of Frank
Byrne, of Chelsea, vice-president Of
the bank, who was forced to sell in
order to make good his liabilities as a
stakeholder. Jones himself was the
purchaser and the price was $500. The
creditors say the elevator was worth
81, 800, as it has sold under the hammer
within the year for $1,000.
A. j. Rieger, a business man of
Chelsea, is under arrest charged with
"kiting" checks. 1t is said the presi-
dent of the defunct bank uttered the
forgeries to cover Rieger's overdrafts.

muzzle towards him. The hammer evil
IDENTIFY caught something, for the gun
was discharged, the load taking effect
in the boys left forearm. Fortunately
it was a glancing shot and did not break
the bones nor even sever the tendons of
the arm, but it tore an ugly gap eight
or nine inches long in the muscles of the
forearm. He was hurriedly brought to
town and taken to the office of DR..
Hayes, where, with the assistance of
Druggist Otto Z. Ross and the boys
father, the doctor removed the shot
and dressed the wound. 1t is a joy to
report that no injury for life is expect
ed, and his parents especially are very
thankful that the charge did not take
deadly effect, a thing which would have
been very likely had the barrel of the
gun been turned a tri1e to right or left
as the cas might have been. AS it
was, the boy will recover with only an
ugly scar and a serious lesson in handl-
ing firearms. He is getting along as
well as a be expected.
1t is the same old story of careless
handling of guns. 1t seems that no
amount of casualties can impress upon
the minds of young Americans the fact
that a gun must be handled with great
care. This boys father says that he
has told him time and time again about
being careful with his gun. One ought
to develop an instructive horror at the
sight of the muzzle of a gun. whether
it be loaded or not; then there would be
fewer accidents. Never allow the mug
zle OF a gun to point toward you, for
that is the dangerous end.-Lily Argus.

Bank Robbers to Flee Before
Securing Their Plumber
Yeggmen were defeated in an attempt
to rob the State bank of Corona, nine
miles north of Milbank, by a dose of
formaldehyde.
George Clark, cashier of the bank,
some years ago figured that if some
fluid could be used against yeggmen a
great point toward the safe keeping of
money would be won. Accordingly he
purchased two bottles of formaldehyde,
placing a quart bottle between the doors
of the vault and another in the small
box safe. These he called his yegg
doctors.
The yeggmen blew the door from the
vault with a second charge. The bottle
of formaldehyde was smashed to pieces
and its fumes prevented them from
taking the little safe, which contained
about $1,000,
The yeggmen broke into the station
rnd three business houses and made
their escape on z handcar.
In its account of the attempted bank
robbery at Corona, the Minneapolis
Journal says:
ITO 'Hermanize' q bank burglar will
soon be q common method of Kidding a

men familiar with the work Of bank
