MINISTER'S MIND
MUCH MUDDLE
AS Result of Fear Arising from
kidnapping and Threats
'of Bodily Violence.
TELLS RAMBLING STORY
Suffers Intense Mental Agony
In His travels in Some
States in the West.

MILWAUKEE,. Wis, July 20.-
The Rev. Louis r. Patmont, a tenn

a strange man warned him II he did
not leave Detroit he surely would be
killed. After travelling about the
country, visiting Kansas City, Min
neapolis and other cities and suffer-
inf intense mental agony, he finally
reached the lumber regions Of north
ern Wisconsin.
Klapp said Patmont's nerves
seemed shattered. He was in con-
slant fear someone was following
him and threatening his life and at
times appeared to be in state Of
coma. In lucid moment he recog-
nized Mr.. Milton and inquired as to
the welfare of his wife and children.

TRUST COMP ANY
TO STAR 7 BANK
Guaranty, Title, Trust and
Banking Institution is in
Process Of Formation.
LARGE CAPITAL STOCK
Stockholders Are to-Meet Tues
day, July 28, and Elect a
Board of Directors.

Clarksburg is about to have new
banking and trust institution, organ
ization OF which is to take place at q
meeting OF $50 or more stockholders
the afternoon OF Tuesday, July 28, In
the upstairs auditorium Of the court
house.
The institution will be known as the
Clarksburg Trust Company and it is
to do not only regular banking busi-
ness but also general guaranty, title
and trust business. This will make
It distinctive from all other banking
institutions In the county. It's charter,
which has already been issued by. the
secretary Of state. also empowers 1t
to act In any judiciary capacity, srci-
as trustee, assignee, receiver, guar
dian, executor, administrator, special
receiver and committee.
A capital of 100000 is authorized
by the company's charter and 100000
has been subscribed. In order to
keep the stock scattered so as to give
the institution more Of cooperative
character and to prevent any man or
small group Of men from obtaining
control, the stock subscriptions have
been limited to thirty shares. The
par value of the stock is 500, as re-
quired by law. The incorporators Of
the company are w. /. Booth, cashier
of the First National Bank Of Shinns-
ton; ]. w. Agnew. Clarence w. Leg
gett, A s.. LawA and Sheriff Ross F.
Stout, all Of Clarksburg.
The distinctive scope Of the COM
pany's business and its large capital
stock will make possible large bust
ness in the lending of money on real
estate and this will be one of the feat
ures Of the company's activities. It's
promoters have felt that this will fill
a long felt want IN the city and county
inasmuch as the banking institutions
already established are either pre-
vented by law from lending money on
real estate or have all the business
they can handle In commercial paper.
1t Is the plan Of the company to be-
gin business by October 1 with head
quarters In this city. Several loca-
tions are In view but one has not yet
been selected
The meeting OF the stockholders
here Tuesday, July 90, will be the first
and as stated IT will be an serganiza-.
ton meeting. The stockholders viii
elect a board Of directors and adopt
bylaws. It is possible that the di-
rectors will organize the same day
and elect officers.
