Bank Officials Steal All the Cash
There Was in Sight.

A dispatch from Raleigh, N. c.,
says State Bank Examiner J. K.
Doughon arrived there from Tarboro
to spend Sunday. He, says it will
take a week yet to make the thor
Cugh examination Of the bank of
Tarboro necessary to-. ascertain the
eM7ct shortage Of Cashier Hart, who
suicided, and Assistant Cashier Hus-
sey, who is held in $4,000 bond for
defalcations. He says the shortage
will be 100000 and very probably
s125,000. While the shortages have
been aecumulating gradually for sew
en- years, much the. larger part of 1t
has occurred within the past, six or
ten months. 1t seems to Examiner
Doughton that the cashiers found
themselves so deeply involved that
they could not straighten their books
further and just set in deliberately to
loot the bank.

The orchardists and farmers have

Just about this time In the year
the first despairing walls Of the
wheat grower are heard. The native
cinch bug and the imported Hes
sian fly are tossing I'D for his crop.
OF the two evils, the imported one
is the worst. The cinch bug may be
the bigger, but he cannot create the
havoc that follows in the trail of
the Hessian fly.
The invader is a legacy Of ou.
war with George III. Illinois, Iowa
and Indiana know Of his power. On
his of seasons he manages to de.
stroy 50,0O0,000 bushels Of wheat.
He robs the world VI million tons

bread to feed every man, woman and
child in the United States for over

credulous people there for consid-
cradle sums of money as a fortune
teller
Mrs. Annie O. Eatman, we'll
known dressmaker, lost $500 through
the representations of the, willy for

and work out the happiest solution Of
some family troubles that were dis
turbing Mrs. Eatman.. Just what
they were has not yet been divulged
except to the authorities In conf
dence. , a.'.'...
The next largest amount claimed
to have been obtained was from a
well-to-do negro woman. Madame
Hunter read her palm and told her
she would soon break out with terri
BILE sores unless some counteracting
spell was worked for her; that she
had been conjured to have these sores
develop. For $500 she gave her a
talisman that would ward off the af-
Fiction. It was small wooden box
securely sealed.
The victim was told that If she
opened the box she would die. Chief
Police Stell opened it when the wo-
man brought it to him, and found
that it contained some blackish pow
ders. Some Of this, he says, he rub
bed between his fingers, and much to
his alarm, the fingers began to 1tcp.
But he is convinced now that the
itching was imaginary and that the
powder was really perfectly harmless
and worthless.
Another victim brought tails
man in red flannel sack. 1t con-
tanned two pieces Of worthless ore
rock. It had cost her the small sum
of 50 and was presented by Madame
Hunter to possess allpowerful charm
for her welfare. .-l r,
Madame Hunter came to Raleigh
early in the year; .openel a penthouse
in a cavant lot two doors from the
State house Of Fayetteville street.
Here she did flourishing business
as a palmist until late in April, when
she disappeared overnight. A notable
thing Is that she refused to take Mrs.
Eatman's check for her pay, but re-
quired her to get. her own checks
cashed and bring the money.
