i'm circulation, $4,000, making q to-
tai of approximately $213,b1b. This
added TO the capital stock account Of
! $6O. 900 and the surplus fund of $4,000
made a grand total Of liabilities of
| approximately $277000.
This gives general shortage OF
$92.S52. which added to the savings
shortage of $12,0S0 and notes and
certificates discovered later raised the
total shortage to approximately $112,-
9SS.
on cross examination Mr.. Catch
said that he had found certificates
of deposit, in favor of Henry Stryker
amounting to $4,000. These had been
in Scriber's desk. These had been
cancelled and Catch had then called
ed upon Stryker, when he found that
Stryker held duplicates of these cer-
tificates which were evidently renew
ais. When he had questioned Scri-
ber about these Catch said that Scrl-
ber had told him that the new certifi-
Gates had been given to Stryker to
cover the old certificates which had
run their time. He was unable to ac-
count for the money which the bank
supposedly held to cover the amount
of the certificates.
The witness said that on the Sec
ond day after he had taken charge
of the bank that Scriber came down to
the institution In the afternoon where
he had aided in checking up and had
given information At that time. the
witness said Scriber seemed to be
under q severe mental strain, but that
he asked him a good many questions.
Scriber's Illness Denied.
Here Senator Fulton tried to estab-
lish the fact of Scriber's severe i'll
ness and mental incapacity by the
witness. but Mr.. Catch refused to give
testimony satisfactory to the defense.
He said that Scriber was not very
weak, but that on the contrary he had
walked to the bank from his home
and was not confined to his bed.
In the cross-examination covering
the story of the Thomson note, Sena-
tor Fulton tried to get rid Of the i'm
plication of forgery. He asked Catch
if Scriber had not said that he simply
made copy of the Thomson note be-
cause he felt that the Thomson note
was genuine and really due the bank
Catch maintained that Scriber had
told he had made new note and that
it was his first violation of the law
and his first step downward from the
path of legality in his transactions.
Mr.. Catch said that at the time re
/ had considered that Thomson's ac-
tion was an outrage on Scriber and
that he had believed that Thomson
had done it for fear Of the investiga-
tion of Special Agent A. r. Greene.
| And that he had inferred that Scriber
was mixed up in the deal because he
had never sued Thomson for the re-
covery of the note when 1t was pos
sible for him to do so.
Walter II. Evans, deputy district
attorney. followed Mr.. Catch on the
stand and corroborated his testimony
in many particulars, especially regard
ing the Thomson note, and the admis-
sions of Scriber that he had formed
many notes. Evans said that Scriber
had explained to him that many OF
the forged notes had been sold to
| other banks and that Scriber had been
| compelled to take them UP as they
| fell due, which had been responsible
| for much of the shortage in the cash
| account. Evans finished his testi-
mony at noon.

How Albany Woman Signaled to Her
Affinity.

Albany, Ore.-That his wife used a
looking-glass to flash sunlight from
their home on the hilltop to an ad-
mirer who resided in the valley below
as a signal for secret meetings, was
the statement made by W. A. Allen in
the state circuit court here the other
day. He said that when he left home
his wife flashed this signal to her
affinity" and he came up the hill to
see her.
The secret visits continued. Allen
testified, until October 1905, and then
the two left their respective homes
near Brownsville simultaneously and
are now reported to be living az man
and wife in Idaho. Allen accordingly
sued for divorce and Judge Galloway
granted the decree. They were mar
ried in Brownsville. November II,

Of the world.
The latest feat of the astronomers
here Is a time table with which the
veriest tyro may be able to locate the
comet Those desiring to get view
must get up early or stay up late,
some clear, calm night.
Briefly, the following table holds
good for the comets rising, up to
May II, inclusive:

The comet crosses the suns disk on

outclassed by the sun in the matter Of
brilliancy.
May 10 the comet becomes an even

ARRESTED FOR USING
BUCKET AS WEAPON

George Kesser, who was charged
with having demolished a lunch bas-
ket over the Uranium of Dan CASTOR,
was placed under arrest yesterday,
and will face trial this morning at
10 O'Clock on charge of disturb
ing the peace. 1t appears that the
argument, which resulted in the de-
molishing of the tin furniture, was
over the local labor trouble at the
depot. and CASTOR after applying a
name to kesser was the recipient of
the lunch bucket, which landed
fairly and squarely on the south
side of his head, and resulted in a
cut several inches in length. At
this juncture of the argument the
affair came to an end.

WEBER CASE
IS DISMISSED IN
JUSTICE COURT
CHARGE OF DISTURBING THE
PEACE WITHDRAWN WHEN
JURY is DEMANDED.

When the case of Henry Weber
was called in the justice court yes
terday, a motion was made by the
attorney for the plaintiff that the
case be dismissed from the docket.
Weber's arrest was caused by SUI
perintendent H. r. Hanlin, of the
railroad. who charged that he had
been called several names. Weber
demanded a jury trial and was to
have his hearing yesterday morning
when the action of the plaintiff re-
suited in the case being dismissed.
Horace Russ, who was charged
with completely in the house-break-
ing at Glendale, as a result of
which Dick Jeffries and Dell Smith
are now fugitives from justice, had
little difficulty in convincing the
jury that his part in the burglary
was unintentional, and following the
examination of Sheriff Owens, DR..
A. H. Elftman and Ed Clifford, the
case went to the jury, which, after
celebrating about two minutes, re-
turned a verdict of acquittal.

HIGH School
DANCE A SUCCESS
IN EVERY Way

The boys of the high school de-
rived a neat surplus from their
dance at the Miners Exchange hall
last night, which will be used in
liquidating the debt incurred in fa-
voring athletics. AS everyone knows
there is quite an expense attached
to the training of the boys so that
they can compete in the field meets,
and it is the desire that the entire
Indebtedness be wiped out before
the end of the present term.
The affair last evening was a
success in every way and was a
genuine good time for all who at.
tended Dancing was pleasure
and kept up until a late hour. The
music was furnished by McGuire's
orchestra.

AYLESWORTH IS

PRIDE OF JOURNAL OFFICE
FAILS TO SECURE HIS
REVENGE.

After pleading guilty to disturb.
ing the peace of the editor of the
Reno Journal, Arthur j. Ayles-
worth, the theatrical king of Ne.
vada, was complimented by Police
Judge Stairway of Reno Thursday
and acquitted of the charge.
The court in dismissing the
charge. took occasion to strongly
rebuke the newspaper editor who
had sworn to the complaint caus-
ing Aylesworth's arrest, much to
the disgust of the ink singer.
Aylesworth was given an ovation at
the decision of the court.
The trouble arose over the Jour-
nal roasting show presented in
the new Majestic theater by Ayles-
worth. The roast was issued be-
cause the paper had been refused
passes, and not on the merits of
the production.

invited the editor to an adjoin-

be settled without interference.
The editor accepted and the editor

taking the beating like man, he
secured the arrest of Aylesworth.
And now the two areSnot on speak
ing terms, and the free list is en-
tirely suspended for the Journal
Office.

follow the style set by the Gazette.

SURETY CONCERNS
TO MAKE PAYMENT
IMMEDIATELY
NOTIFY COMMISSIONERS THEY
WILL SEND CHECKS FOR
SUM LOST IN BANK.

A clean slate had nearly been
obtained when the board of county
commissioners adjourned last even
ing to meet again this morning.
1t is thought that by noon all bust
ness will have been transacted and
a final adjournment will be taken
until the regular meeting in May.
Yesterday William F. Brong, was
appointed justice of the peace at
Johnnie, while John Santz Cruz was
chosen as constable for the same
township. The bonds of both Of
ficials were filed and approved.
The most important part of the
days business was the receiving of
two kilograms from the surety COM
panies responsible for the money on
bank at Rhyolite. The dispatches
read as follows:
NEW YORK, April SIS. F.
Lindsay, chairman county commits
sioners: Replying to your wire of
the 9Th, we will honor draft for
our share of the loss when present
ed with the assignment, which we
are forwarding today for execution
by the county treasurer, and our
original bonds.
NATIONAL SURETY co.
The second dispatch was from
Richard D. Lang, of the United
States Fidelity and Guarantee COM
pany, and read as follows:
your wire received A check
for the National bank of Rhyolite
will be mailed Immediately.
The sum lost by the closing of
the Rhyolite bank. amounting to
over $4,000, should be back in the
county vaults before two weeks, and
probably sooner. However, prior to
the final settlement the county will
make an assignment of the money
on deposit, and whatever dividends
are paid, will go to the surety
companies.
