There were similar scenes about the

Of this bank. was formerly head Of

There were crowds about the bank

the attendance Of idle bystanders by
a vigorous cleaning OF the sidewalks
with n big hose, until the street was
cleaner than ever White Wings made

Only about Ave hundred depositors
were present at the opening hour to-
day. The law permitting the bank to
require ninety days notice for with

positor asked for more than 10 per

After o'clock, however, a great
crowd gathered before the doors and
grew uneasy and then noisy. A pla-
toon Of reserves was called from the
station. Their appearance was taken
by the crowd as an indication that
something had really gone wrong
with the bank. and there was some
thing like a riot in progress until af-

There were a thousand persons In

FLOATER UNKNOWN

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 27.-An unknown
man was found yesterday In the Fed
river twelve miles north Of Fargo, a
mile and a half from the Tom Gee
farm. The body had been in the wa
ter for some time. The man was
dressed as laborer and all evidence
point to foul play.
The man wore two pair Of overalls,
from which the pockets were turned
inside out. A piece Of watch chain
about three inches long was hanging
in one button hole, which supported
the theory that he must have been
drugged and robbed, and his body
thrown in the river. Not an article
that would identify him was found on
the body.
The dead man had crippled hand,
the four fingers being merely stubs,
and the thumb which was full grown,
was without a nail. This is defect
with which he was born and the au-
thorities are using it as a means by
which they can find something out
about him. Undertaken B. F. Wasem,
in whose hands the remains now are,
is irving to find someone who knew
the man, but this far has been un-
successful. :, =,
County Coroner Sam Mitchell held
an inquest over the body and decided
that the man had come TO bis death
by drowning.

New York, Oct. ga bitter fight

ratification by conventions in states
which cast majority of votes in the
present electoral college, according TO
it's adoption stipulated by the com
mittee. Every state convention held
since last December gave its assent 70
the plan except that in Texas, which
rejected it. The states which adopted
lit cast 29O out total Of 531 votes in
the electoral college, or "a more than
majority. Approval was given by
conventions in Arkansas, California
Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois,
Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts,, Michi-
gan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York
North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma.

TAKE OFF THEIR
HATS TO BELGIANS
FOR SECOND TIME ALLIES MUST
TAKE OFF THEIR HATS TO
~& BELGIAN ARMY

London, Oct. 26.-"All the allies
must take their hats off to the Belgian
army which for several days has been
holding in check two German army
corps near Dixmude, frustrating the
German designs on the strip of terri
tory between Dunkirk and Calais
says dispatch to The Times from one
of, its correspondents in Northern
France The message continues:
''It is nov permitted to explain how
the Belgian army was able to take up
a position on the User canal, in other
words, how it was able to make sue
cessful retreat from Antwerp in face
Of the elaborate plans Of the Germans.
The Belgian army sent a force of a
few thoasand men to the neighbrOho0d
of Vullem (in East Flanders, twelve
miles southwest of Ghent) with Or
ders to hold back the pursuing enemy
for sufficient period to cover the re-
treat Of the main army which hugged
the Dutch frontier on its seaward
march. The battle Of Mullen event
ually resulted in the vital annihila
ton of the gallant little body Of Bel"
gian fighters, but it meant the saliva
tion of the Belgian army and their
allies.
"The situation of the Belgians and
French at Dixmode has undergone
change for the better in the past
few days. This does not mean, how
ever, that the Germans are on the
run. ENl
"The reports of a German retreat
toward Bruges are anticipatory and
exaggerated. The retreat up to the
present is matter of mile or two,
made in order to get further away
from the guns on the warships. The
Germans are now entrenched mile
or more inland and consequently are
able to pay less attention to sea at
tacks.
"The casualties in the Belgian army
during it's gallant fighting about Dix
nude have been tremendously heavy
but the spirit Of the troops still is
| wonderful"
