Mt. Vernon, Ky.
Dear Drive have your letter
written US on the l4th, and We
want to thank you::very much for
the information you have sent US.
We also wish to advise you that ].
w. Marler wrote US letter some
time ago advising US that the
Court wanted to come to Terre
Haute to see US in reference to
Culverts, Road Machinery and
Bridges, and that they would do
some business with US.
We sent him $1oo. 90 in advance
to buy the tickets to Terre Haute,
and we advised him We would pay
his expenses to Terre Haute. He
came to Louisville and called Us
by telephone and said he wanted
US to send him some more money,
as he stated we did not send him
enough money. We Immediately
sent him 500. 90 by telegraph, and
he advised US over the telephone,
also by wire that he had all the
members of the Fiscal Court with
him. We Immediately complied
with his request and sent him this
money, and then he called US up
from Indianapolis again and said
that they would be here in few
hours, and they never showed up.
Now, this gentleman has 5000.
of our money. and we have this
day written him demanding that
he return our money at once, and
we wish you would advise how
many mem bers of the Fiscal Court
was with him, and if Mr.. Marler
is the duly elected County Road
Engineer, as Mr.. Marler stated
over the phone that the entire
court was with him in Louisville.
Any information you can give us
will be kept strictly confidential,
and we trust you will let US hear
from you by return mail.
Yours very truly.

Declare an Extra Dividend

A radical departure from the GUS
tOmary method of banking in
Vermont has been made by one Ver-
mont banking institution-the Burl-
ington Trust Company of Burlington
now utilizing the advertising
columns of this paper. 1t is now
some years since the Burlington
Trust Company inaugerated the
policy of paying 4 per cent interest
on deposits, and now it announces
an extra dividend that will make the
rate four and one quarter per cent
per annum for the past six months.
While the bank does not seek to be
large, as financial institutions 90
nowadays, it does attempt to grow
stronger each year in the ratio of its
assets to liabilities. In making this
liberal division with it's patrons the
Burlington Trust Company is per-
forming an act that cannot fail to
be pleasing to all it's depositors.

FEDERALS GIVE
OUT A REPORT
HAVE SIGNED 172 MEN AND 13
OF THEM ARE BIG LEAGUERS

Chicago, Jan. 24.-The magnates
of the Federal league, after two secret
committee sessions, issued two opti-
mistic reports, one that 127 players
had been signed, 13 of whom were
major leaguers, and the other that
the construction Of all the stands
will be under way next week.
Among the 13 big leaguers is Rol-
lie Zeider, of New York Americans,
who, it was announced, signed Tink-
er's Chicagoans, and William Bradley,
of the Toronto international league
team, who has signed to manage the
Toronto Federals.
Zeider accepted the Federal terms
last night after Arthur Irwin, the
Yankees representative, declined to
promise him a $4,000 salary and a
chance at playing third base. Brad
ley gained fame as an infielder with
Cleveland.
Everybody concerned denied the
widely circulated report that the St.
Paul American Association team
would be purchased by Weegham, to
be transferred to Chicago and to play
on the North Side grounds, leased for
the Federals. Weegham said he
would stand by the Federal league,
and President Chivington declared
there would be no change in the As
sociation.
