Pukwana, May IA case which
has been closely watched by bankers,
has just been disposed of in the state
circuit court, involving the liability
of a bank when it pays the amount OF
a deposit to a person who falsely rep
resents himself as being the person
who made the deposit. A Greek
walked into a bank at Chamberlain
and presented a passbook showing a
deposit in a Pukwana bank. The
opposed depositor demanded the full
amount of his deposit. The Cham
beriain bank paid the full amount
after calling the Pukwana bank by
telephone. Later the real deposition,
another Greek. appeared at the First
National bank in Pukwana and de-
manded his money.
The bank refused on the ground
that they already had paid the
amount of the deposit through the
Chamberlain bank. The Greek insti-
tuted an action against the Pukwana
bank and won his case in court, as
the hank could put up 40 defense in
absence of proof of conspiracy on
the depositor's part. The Pukwana
bank then instituted an action
against the Chamberlain bank for re-
covery of the sum paid on the order
of the fake" depositor. Judge
Smith of the state circuit court. after
having had the case under advise
ment. now has rendered a decision in
favor of the Pukwana bank, So, UNI
less there is an appeal in the case,
the Chamberlain bank will have to
make good the amount paid the
fake" deposition.

anything became disabled it was plac-

month ago he found the upper floor
of the capitol full of junk. He began
to clear away some of the rubbish in
order to decrease the fire risk.
In the rubbish he found fifty pic

play pictures at the worlds fair at
Chicago in 1893 O.. O. Riddle, chief
of police, began preparations to put
the frames in the furnace, but the
custodian ruled that they must not
be destroyed. He believed that many
people would like to have them as
souvenirs, so they are to be given
away. Now Riddle is awaiting the
relic hunters to appear to carry them
away.

THUS WILL READ THE STANDING
OF JEFFERSON co. CAPITAL
HEREAFTER.

Fairfield, June Census Taker O.
H. Herring completed his work Tues
day afternoon and made the returns
to County Auditor A. G. Turner show
ing the above figures for his several
! months work. There were few peo-
pie in the city who thought that it
might be possible to reach the 5000
| mark but no one expected to see even
a greater gain for Fairfield.
1t is well known fact that Fairfield
has been steadily growing in the past
five years and in spite of the fact that
she as city has been rather slow
about advertising her advantages, fac
tories and business people have lOcat-
ed here and proved themselves live
wires and loyal citizens by telling theif
friends that Fairfield is one of the best
of the smaller cities Of the state.
The population in 1905 showed 5000
people for Fairfield and when the fed
eral census was taken in 1910 the con-
sus man declared that he could find
but 1870 residents for the city and
Fairfield people were told repeatedly
Lnat lne Guy was lOSlHS lHSLedu VI
gaining population
This year when Mr.. Herring started
out to take the census there were
those who estimated that with the fac.
tories which Fairfield had secured dur
ing the past five years that the popula-
ton should probably be about $500
and returns we're anxiously awaited
but even the most sanguine of these
boosters ahrdly dared hope that they
5000 mark would be reached and
passed. The gain over 1910 census
has been 22.6 per cent and Mr.. Herring
says lie has used the proverbial fine
tooth comb to gether every soul in the
city in and he is proud of his excellent
showing for Fairfield,
