INJUNCTION
To Restrain Partners OF
RiChIand Co. Bank
From DiSpOsing nj Their
Property
(Mansfeld News)

&. #. Ackerman, receiver for the
Richland county bank at Butler. has
filed in probate court, petition
against A. w. Mishey, o. b. Statler
f. o. Wise, A. j. Grubb, |. Hess, Chris
Keller and A. j. Solomon, asking
for an injunction to prevent them
from disposting or encumbering their
property The plaintiff says each of
these persons are partners in the
RichlaLd county bank and each has
one-seventh interest. The plaintiff
says he has made a thorough exam
ination of the assets and liabilities
of said bank and that he has ascer.
tanned that IL all the property and as
sets belonging TO said Richland coun-
ty bank, were applied to the payment
of debts, there still would be "a large
amount left unpaid and unprovided
for, and that all of the private prop
erty of the partners will be INSULT
cient tc pay the debts in full OF said
bank.
The plaintiff says that the two men,
bers of said partnership, F. e. Wise
and A. w. Mishey, have transferred
their property to relatives for the
purpose OF placing it beyond the reach
of their creditors and the creditors
of the Richland county bank and par
ticulariy to prevent the receiver of
said bank from subjecting said proper.
ty to the payment of the money due
the depositors of said Richland coun-
ty bank. The plaintiff further says he
believes the other members of the
bank, unless restrained, will remove
cucumber and transfer their property
and place it beyond the reach of the
creditors OF the bank. The receiver
says that if said partners are allowed
and do transfer their property, it will
delay and prevent him from securing
said property to pay the debts of said
bank. He says he would have no rem
edy at law if they should transfer
their property; that he cannot at pres.
ent, commence an action, to subject
said property to the payment of the
debts AS he does not now what the
deficiency will be and how much each
of the partners will be called upon
to pay. G. H. Workman is attorney for
the plaintiff. A temporary injunction
was allowed.

A REFRESHING STAND.

1t is refreshing to see the state de-
partment issue a warning to Russia
that Morgan Shusters life must be
spared.
1t seems that the diplomatic policy
of the President and Secretary Knox
which permits the Russian government
to refuse safety to American citizens
who are Jews, born in Russia, but
now naturalized in the United States
must have given the Gar and his
advisors the belief that American cit
izenship was no protection to any
body.
That's a far spirit from our spirit
Of one hundred years ago. when we
save the Mistress of the Seas a
good trouncing for just such offenses.

is not necessary. One good firm pro-
nunciament to the effect that Am

THE SPIRIT THAT MOVES.

A tree grows, or dies. A business
grows, or dies A town grows, or dies.
Moisture is the life of the tree. Adj
vertising is the life of business. And
a progressive spirit in its citizenship
is the life of the town.
Once the sap rises in the trees, once
the reviving principle of publicity is at
work, once the progressive citizenship
gets into action, there is growth. And
so long as these principles are in
action growth continues. There is no
stopping it.
One sees by what has been done for
Moscow in the last few weeks. No
sooner had the spirit started moving,
that took the county exhibit to the In
terstate fair, this fall, and brought
back the sweepstakes, than it was
ready to follow that victory with
something more significant. 1t organ
lied the Latah County Chatauqua.
1t took the band to Spokane 1t sent
a Princess, and finally it sent George
Knapp's car of apples, with result
that Moscow will remember as long as
Moscow exists.
And quick on the heels of that there
comes word that the vaccination has
Caught" From the Governors Spe-
cial comes message that Moscow has
been recognized by the governor and
the immigration commissioner as the
premier apple section of the state, and
that an exhibit was wanted by the
state for he ST. Paul Land show.
The spirit is moving.
1t has meant, as one farmer was
quoted in Saturdays Star-Mirror as
saying, a great activity in the lands of
this country.
The spirit is moving. Lets all get
together and keep it going.

fly by word and thought both life and


death
From the innermost recess of the
heart does Elkdom consecrate this day
and this hour to the sacred memory
of her sons in the distant realm OF
death. And no matter where on earth
they roam today, the head of every Elk
is bowed in sorrow for his absent
brothers and in sympathy with their
loved one.
The keystone in the foundation of
our order is charity. 'Tis said that true
charity begins at home and in keeping
with this precept we remember today
only the good in mankind. The faults
of our brothers we write upon the
sands Their virtues upon tablets of
love and memory. No ignoble i'm
pulse prompts the remembrance of a
single wrong. In life's last dream
there should be no baneful taunt
'Tis strange way by which this
order came to be. 1t was founded in
1868 by Charles A. S. Vivian, an
actor, at that time playing in New
York In those days the puritanical
laws of Gotham were very strict. The
result was that on Sunday afternoons
a number of actors and musicians
boarding at the same place would gath
err in the parlor of their boarding
houses for a congenial time. At one
of these meetings Mr.. Vivian sug-
gested that a permanent organization
for social purposes be formed. The
idea struck a responsive chord in the
hearts of his associates. Some difficult
ty was experienced in the selection Of
a name Finally a committee was ap
pointed to select one. Soon thereafter
number of the members of this COM
mittee met by accident one evening in
the old Barnum theatre where they
were favorably impressed with very
fine elk head conspiciously displayed
in the entrance. When the chairman
of the committee looked up the history
of that animal he found it describ-
ed in several works on zoology as fleet
of foot and timorous Of doing wrong,
avoiding all combat, save when fight
ing for the female, and in defense of
the young, the helpless and the weak.
The characteristics of that noble ami
nal so fitted the aims of the order that
It's name was Immediately adopted as
he name of the recently organized So
,iety And thus was born the Be
levolent and Protective Order of Elks. |

less, without the blare of loud acclaim,
Without power and without wealth. To- |
