MULE RESPONSIBLE
FOR RUN ON BANK
Animal Died And Purchaser Stopped
Paymen of Check Which He
Had Given For 1t. q
(By Associated PreSs.)

Louisville, KY, Aug. 12.-The death
of a mule in South Louisville Monday
subjected the South Louisville Saw
ings and Deposit Bank at Fourth and
Central avenues to more than its
share of inconvenience and was di-
rectly responsible for a run on that
institution yesterday that lasted for
six or eight hours. From early morn
ing up to noon Wednesday the de-
positors from all over the southern
section clamored for their money.
DR.. w. H. Netherland, president OF
the bank, announced yesterday when
order had been restored in some
measure, that $63,54O had been drawn
out of the bank.
The stampede of the depositors
came about in a most unusual man.
ner; a few days ago John Colglazier
purchased mule. Mr.. Colglazier
gave his check for SIS in payment and
when the mule died suddenly he
stopped payment on the check at the
South Louisville Bank.
Mr.. Colglazier's action of course,
prevented the officers of the bank
from honoring the check and conse-
quently when it was presented for
payment it was turned down. The
holder of the check, according to DR..
Netherland, casually remarked at the
general store and blacksmith shop m
the vicinity that the bank was not
equal to its obligations. The rumor
spread like wild fire and yesterday
when the bank opened a large crowd,
all depositors, had collected, all wish

be located. The third qestion before
the special tax levy is when and how
1t should be collected. The last ques-
tion is whether the funds accruing
from the special two mill tax can be
used to purchase land for the school
buildings. Assistant Attorney Gener-
al Fox answered these questions,
holding that the five trustees have the
right to establish the school, in their
discretion, to the best advantage, but
that the school cannot be recognized
by the state board till the trustees
have acquired 20 acres of land, or be-
fore the state auditor can honor a
warrant for the $1,000 appropriated
by the state.
Mr.. Fox holds that it is the duty of
the supervisors to levy the tax, when
ever the county school board estab-
fishes the school.

ARE HAPPY TODAY
(By Union Associated Press.)

London, Aug. 12-For the British
sportsmen-and nearly all English
men are lovers of sports-the twelfth
of August is the most important date
in the calendar, and this day was no
exception. The grouse shooting
season begins today, and thousands of
gunners are off for their shootings in
the North, where the grouse are ex-
exceptionally plentiful this year.
There has been great demand for
shooting preserves in Scotland this
year, and many Americans are in
cluded among the sportsmen. The
Duke and Duchess of Roxiburghe
have opened Floors Castle to a large
party, and will entertain lavishly dur
ing the shooting season, as will many
other mobiles who are so fortunate as
to own estates in the grouse districts.
King George will go to Scotland
soon for the shooting, of which he is
very fond and for the first time will
abandon the role of paying guest. AS
Prince of Wales, His Highness had
not the free use of the royal preserves,
but paid the sum of 1000 a year for
his shooting privileges.
