WASHINGTON BANKS
SHOW LARGE Loss
IN THEIR DEPOSITS
Good Reasons for the De.
crease-Local Stocks
Slow, Steady.

From the reports that have been
published by local banks, indicating
their condition at the close of bust
ness September l, 1t is evident there was
heavy aggregate loss In deposits as
compared with the showing made June
I. While there are some exceptions the
losses are quite general and In the ag-
gregate heavy.
shown increases in this item, a habit
that they have maintained for some
time, although during the last three
months some Of the savings institu-
tions have suffered more or less Sc
verely.
There's a reason for the lowering
of the aggregate total of deposits.
First the tax money has cut a big fig-
ure. aggregating over a million dol
lars: then the first Of the month pay
ments are always heavy, some banks
losing $4,000 to s25o,0o as a usual
thing on the first Of each month, re-
gaining 1t within a few days after that
date. A call today would show q very
material recovery in deposits.
Local securities attracted some at

no means active. In the stock list

Week Briefly Told.
WAS HE MURDERED?
Twin City Man, Found In Yellowstone
River, Believed Victim Of Foul Play.

Livingstone.-The authorities here
believe that Paul Hayden, the Mime
apolis musician whose body was found
dead in the Yellowstone river near
Miner, was the victim of foul play. It
Is said Hayden several days before his
departure from this city received a
large sum of money. According to
Bert Shields, formerly of Minneapolis,
a chum of the dead man, Hayden had
waited for week or more for the
money and intended returning to Min
nesota with it.
According to Gardiner reports Hay
den was seen alive at that place last
Thursday. The body when found was
coatless, and search for the missing
apparel has been fruitless. It is be.
lieved that the man was slugged or
drugged, robbed and the body dropped
into the river.
There were several scalp wounds on
the head when the body was found.
The wounds, according to Coroner
Wears, might have been caused by
blows from gun or other blunt OBJ
ject, or it is possible the head was
bruised in the swift waters of the Vel
loHstone as it came down from Gardi-
ner, where Hayden was last seen alive.

Bonneville, Ind, Aug. 25-Richard
Lee, Mrs. Lee and their 17-year-old
son Clarence were killed in their bed
and the house set on fire here.
William Lee, 81 years DID, son Of
the dead man, is under arrest, charged

house it was blazing from all sides.
Upon trying to enter they discovered
all the doors and windows were
locked. The doors were broken in and
the incinerated bodies of Lee, his wife
and his boy were found.
The skulls OF the father and mother
had been caved in with hammer
while they were lying in bed. The boy
had been shot. The family, consisting
of the father and mother and two chill
dren, had sold their small piece OF
property in Newburg and divided the
money. The mother and father and
younger boy took their money and
went to their home in Bonneville. Will

NINE FIRE IS FATAL TO SIX
ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE IN GAGE
PROVES FUTILE.
Ten Men Trapped BY Flames at 1,4oo.
Foot Level in
Nevada.

Ely, New, Aug. 25.-Of ten men who
were working at the 400 foot level OF
the new five compartment shaft OF
the Giroux Consolidated mines when It
caught fire, six are dead and four lie
at the point of death after passing
through the flames to reach the sur.
face.
The dead: Daniel Drea. secretary
of the local miners union; T. ]. Gil
more, shift boss; John Wilhelmy,
Thomas O. Dolovich, Edward Walsh
and John McNulty.
The seriously injured: Clarence
Gates, Michael Foley, Edward Knox
and Peter Harrington.
The men on the 1,400 foot level
heard noise which they thought was
caused by an explosion. They looked
upward and saw the shaft in flames.
They at once boarded the cage and
started for the surface. but encount-
cred the flames at the 1900 foot level
and stopped.
Wilhelmy and four other men left
the cage and started to walk through
the 1900 foot level to the old Alpha
shaft, 700 feet away, through which
they hoped to climb out of the mine.
The five men remaining in the cage
gave the signal to hoist and were
pulled through the blazing shaft. One
was dead when the top was reached
and the other four were taken to a
hospital. The work of rescuing the
five men remaining in the mine was
then attempted through the Alpha
shaft. At the 400 fot level Wilhelmy
was found dead Gilmore's body was
recovered at the 600 foot level, face
downward at the bulkhead. Odolvitch
lay dead, but Walsh and McNulty were
not found and are still in the burning
mine.
This is the same mine in which,
three and half years ago, two men
were killed and four others entombed
for 46 days on the thousand foot level
of the Alpha shaft.
The new shaft is one of the largest
and deepest in the district and cost
over a quarter of million dollars.
Every effort is being made to extin.
guish the flames which are still burn
ing.
