 'To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 T trust that you will kindly give me the same space in your valuable paper as you did to one Ben T. Head, in this mornings issue, In which he charges that I am "blackmailer." because I am trying to get the party or parties who have gotten $s00 of my money deposited in the City Bank and Trust company.
 T am going to proceed against them (cven if four warrants were taken out against me this day through him for per iury) and will push the same as far as I can. He nor any of his clan can Ifnumidate me They called on me last night and asked me to withdraw all warrants, and that none would be taken out against me. I did not and today was arrested on four warrants for swear ing out against the officers of the defunct hank for taking it's money.
 There are more interested in this fight to catch and punish the looters of this bank than I, and I ask all depositors of the defunct City Bank and Trust com pany and Guarantee Trust and Banking company to stand by me and I think yet, we will find where the several hundred thousand dollars of women, children and a few others money went to.
 diclilxe into the DaDe- but he gets there every issue of every paper publishing a report of his board of direo- tors He would be a sorry president if he could not and did not have them draw resolutions of regret to suit him. I do not care how many more warrants are taken out. I can give bond C1his he thought I could not dol, and I will proceed to find out who footed and got the money of the City Bank and Trust company and Guarantee Trust and Bank ing company, and if Mir Head is not hurt he should not hollow so loudly. Some one broke the bank. Who did?
 q am prepared to make further bond l if MT. Head has any warrants taken out Respectfully, FRANK MANFRE.'' 1 As a result of the arrest of B. r. Head lS P King and F. C.

WON THEIR FIRST GAME
City Basket Ball Team Wins
From Haskell CLUB Last
Friday Night

Two good games OF basket
ball were played at the Opera
House in this city last Friday
evening which resulted in vic
tories for both home teams.
The first game was between the
Washburn and Bayfield, High
school teams and resulted in a
decisive victory for the locals,
the score being 80 to 8. At no
time did the Bayfield, boys have
a ghost of a show of winning,
being outclassed at every stage
of the game. The contest was
too one sided to be very interest
ing.
The second game was between
the Haskell Club team and the
city team and was more interest
ing, There was considerable
rivalry between the two teams
as to which had the best players
but this was settled before the
close of the game and the city
team demonstrated in fair
manner that they had their op-
ponents outclassed at about
every stage of the game. The
Haskell boys however played a
good game and gave those at
tending the worth of their money.
The score at the close of the con-
test stood 20 to 9 in favor of the
city team.
After the games a dancing
party was given at the hall
which was thoroughly enjoyed
by those present.

Saturday morning almost re-
suited in the basement of the
store building being flooded
The break was first discovered
at about ten o'clock when the

of the store, and it was only a
short time until the water was
over eighteen inches in depth.
AS soon as the sewer in the
basment of the cellar could be
opened up itkept the water from
raising any higher. The water
continued to flow into the base
ment until about one o'clock,
the workmen having some diff
Guilty in finding the shut-off in

cellar in Mr.. Posey's store was
filed with potatoes, rutabagas
