Bank and Shortage Will

ACCUSED MAN SAYS
LOSS is EXAGGERATED
C. F. ScrOggin Tells Officials He
Had no Accomplish
Bond $4,000.

Charlottesville, Mo, July S-The
Peoples Bank of Charlottesville, which
recently suspended operations after
the discovery Of a shortage of about
$4,000, will probably be succeeded by
a national bank.
The organization of the institution
is being formed, and the promoters of
the enterprise are receiving many
promises of cooperation. 1t is in
tended that the new bank shall take
over the business of the old one and
make solvent with its depositors.
c. f. Scroggin, the assistant cashier,
who IS said to be responsible for the
reverses encountered by the Peoples
Bank, is in iail, having waived his
preliminary hearing.
His bond was fixed at $1,000, but he
has made no effort to secure his lib
erty He denies that his shortage is as
great as claimed by the bank Off
Gals, and insists that he has none of
the money of which he is accused of
taking.
He says that he had no accomplice
in the matter, but his statement in
this regard is not generally accepted.
An expert accountant was set to
work on the books yesterday, and up
on his report will be determined what
action will be taken as to reopening
the bank.
But little excitement was created as
a result of the banks closing and the
business of the other banks has ap-
parently not been affected.

BLUE HOLE" NOW
A SWIMMING POOL
Big Crowds Swarm to Rock
Crushing Plant to Swim
In Lake.

When the Hely rock crushing plant
was placed in operation Just south of
this city few years ago, it became
necessary TO fill up and completely OBJ
literate the blue Hole" the only
satisfactory swimming pool accessible
to the youngsters of this city.
1t was long, blue pool of water
that never went dry and never grew
stagnant. The water was never warm,
but was inst cool enough to be re-
rr-s. nag Every vestige of the orig
ir.i .Ho 1ple has long since disap-
2".rs, and where it was once located
"a. nov % be found numerous tracks

Ea ~ ,ubterranean flow that fed
this Natural swimming and fishing
pool has been uncovered by the opera
tons of Mr.. Hely in his quarrying
process. Thousands of tons of stone
have been removed from the solid
bluff that stoodsjust back of the old
blue hole, until at this time where
once were high projecting walls of
stone is foand a deep receptacle of
broad dimensions, going down into the
solid stone until an inexhaustible flow
of pure, clear water has been released
and permitted to empty into this basin
formed by the quarrying and removal
of the rocky bluff.
For a time Mr.. Hely attempted to
keep the water pumped out of this
newly formed basin, but as its capacity
increased with the progress of the
work, the task became of such magni-
tude that ne deemed it we'll to aban-
don the undertaking. AS a result an
ideal bathing pool has been created,
and recently it has become a popular
resort for both young and old of this
city. When the boys began to patrO-
nize the place Mr.. Hely had box car
set at convenient place for their
use in changing to their bathing suits.
The crowds came in such number
and in such variety to plunge in the
refreshing waters, that Mr.. Hely has
provided bath houses for both men and
women, and arranged them in conve-
nient proximity of the big blue pool.
For the past few weeks, great
crowds of bathers throng the banks
and dot the surface of this excellent
fresh water bathing resort.

Without realizing the danger of such
action, Mr.. Liddy drove into the rag

pursued him.
Before they had reached the center
of the stream both cars became un-
manageable in the swift waters, and
both began to whirl in rotary motion
as they were carried down the stream.
Both machines lodged against some
heavy drift. and were held stationary
until ropes were attached to the axleS
and used to drag them out by connect
ing the McLooughlin car which was
not driven into the stream.
The women and children passengers
remained in the cars while the men
struggled in the water to save the ma
chimes.
Isougk1in and Brissenden stood on
the bank and shouted warnings to the
men in the water when dangerous
looking piece of drift wood was APP
preaching, while the two Wielpuetzs
held to Albert Liddyis feet while he
struggled under the water in his eff
forts to tie the ropes TO the axles of
the cars.
He finally succeeded in his under
taking and the cars were dragged back
to the shore from which they had
started.
The autos were almost completely
submerged and the passengers were
all thoroughly soaked. When they
reached the shore they were taken tc

DR.. D. H. Hope, of this city, and there
were given dry clothing and some

Jerome Rice, one of the owners of
Rice-Stix Dry Goods Company, of St.

first time yesterday. He spent part of
the day among the merchants and then
inspected the city.
This is a city of wonderful oppor-
tunities," said Mr.. Rice to The Trib-
une. ats gain in population and the
present building activities are evidence
of a bright future. The drainage pro-
ject will advance Cape Girardeau to a
wonderful degree. With one or two
more railroads, this city would soon
become large place.
"But there are evidences everywhere
that the city is advancing rapidly. Its
streets are excellent, its homes are
beautiful, and from the standpoint of
business, Cape Girardeau enjoys an
enviable reputation.
"The building record of Cape Cir
ardeau this year is unusual when the

well convinced that the United States
will avoid becoming embroiled in the
war, and that has insured confidence
in business.
There has never been a scarcity OF

CONFESSES GIVING WHISKY
Brakeman Who Caused Death of 10
Year Old Boy With Liquor SEN
fenced to Five Years.

Sparta.-Arthur S. Deaney, rail-
road brakeman, was sent to Wau-
pun to start a five year sentence for
the death of 10-year-old Lawrence
Hunter, to whom Deaney admitted
having given whiskey which caused
his death. Deaney pleaded guilty and
was sentenced by Judge E. c. Higbee.
No one was present in the court
room when Sheriff Boss brought Dea-
ney into court. Owing to popular in
dignation against the man at Little
Falls, the home of the Hunter boy
near here, Deaney's confession was
kept secret
Immediately after Judge Higbee
had pronounced sentence, Boss and
his prisoner boarded the train for
Waupun.
