faithful and true. He was good man
and had fine principles, quiet in his
disposition, genial and courteous at all
times. In the neighborhood where he
resided so many years there is deepest
regret for all esteemed him.
For year past he was in failing

Throughout his sickness the devoted
wife, sisters and brothers were with

Great O. Bank News, But No Dividend

Lacrosse, Wis, Jan. 80, 1912. After
working two years government experts
have concluded the examination of the
books of the defunct First National
Bank of Mineral Point in an effort to
decide whether the facts which resulted
in the indictment of Calvert Spensley,
the president, warrant prosecution.
What strenuous two years, and how
weary those experts must be laboring
for money which. according to the rul-
ing of protecting (?) government, is
to be drawn from any fund righfully
belonging to the luckless depositors.
No additional dividend in sight as yet.
How could you expect it?

over to the United States district
