to spot Pansy as the prettiest girl in

kind. But we found afterward that
he had a wife and child in Buffalo,
and she left him-and that was Is

since that day. Hush! That's him,

CONVICTED BANKER MAY GET PARDON Friends Will Pay Back 15,ooo Deposit ors If Banker Is Not Sent To
 Jail for Crime.

! GENESEO, N. Y., Nov. 25.-Henry .Siegel, the New York banker, con- victed of having violated the bank ing laws of the state, may escape pun ishment. He has offered the state authorities to repay fully the 15,OOO depositors of his bank if permitted to go free and start again in Chicago. Siegel is connected with number of wealthy families who are willing to raise the necessary money. Every dollar of the Siegel fortune will be turned over to the depositors and the friends and relatives of Siegel and Vogel, his former partner, who died before the trial, will pay the balance.
 The state authorities are inclined to accept the proposal, believing that the punishment received by the bank CT will be lesson to him and others and the return to the depositors of the money will be of greater service to them, as many are poor and hun gry, than the revenge of sending the guilty banker to Jail.

The Germans buried a large amount of their artil- lery, making the ground appear like a huge grave, marking the graves with the number of men supposed ly buried, but the suspicion of the officers was directed to the graves because of the evidence of artillery having reached to them, but never passed beyond and as a result the graves were opened and found to con- tain guns and ammunition, which the Germans had hoped to recover at some future time.
