CLAIM BANK SOLVENT
Attorneys of II. j. Schwartz of Royal
ton Say They Have Evidence.

Little Falls. Five full court
days have been consumed in taking
states testimony in the case of II. j.
Schwartz, charged with taking de-
posits after the state bank of Royal
ton became insolyent. Evidence
shows that the banks assets, accord
ing to the bank examiners report,
to have totaled $4,000. The bank of
ficers claim assets of $4,000. The de-
ficiency according to evidence was due
to worthless paper carried by the in.
stitution.
The defense says 1t will bring evil
dence to show that paper considered
worthless by the state department is
perfectly good and that the bank was
solvent when closed. Deputy Examiner
Brenwahl on the stand admitted on
cross examination, that the bank was
solvent, so far as he knew on Aug.
2. The institution closed its doors two
days later.

Clean Money.


United States Treasurer McCIung
has recommended in his annual report
that congress provide additional facili-
ties for exchanging old and defaced
United States paper currency for new.
Asserting that there is widespread
interest which advocates a cleaner
and more sanitary currency, he says
that the sentiment is a laudable one
and should be attainable because the
expense is but trifie compared with
the beneficial results. 1t has been
demonstrated that bacteria attach
themselves readily to paper money,
and there is no doubt that disease is
thus disseminated. Mr. Meetings.

evening coming from Minneapolis to
Mason City, when near Northwood,

dow of the car. The train was going
at the rate of forty miles an hour
when the child suddenly pitched out
of the window. The scream of the
mother at once attracted the atten-
ton of the conductor and on learning
the trouble brought the train to a
standstill. 1t was backed up to where
the accident occurred and the men in
the car stepped out expecting to pick
up the mangled form of the child
1t had struck in the soft sand and
plowed along for forty feet and there

and it was only little bruised. In

and dressed his feet and started for
the hog pen to empty pail of of slop
