McClelland Buys the
First National Bank

An agreement was reached on
Monday of this week by which the
First National bank of this city
will pass to the control of Mayor
Geo. E. McClelland and his asso-
ciates, several of whom are wealthy
men from the east and from Den
yer. Mr. McClelland was given an
option on 81 percent Of the banks
stock some time ago, providing he
would also purchase any addition
stock that might be offered, and
he exercised the rights of that op-
ton by depositing in a Denver
bank sufficient cash to swing the
deal.
Notices have been sent to the
stockholders informing them of
the terms of the sale and it is in
dicated that about 400 of the bank s
500 shares will be owned by Mr..
McClelland and his ssociates, who
previously owned only small por-
of the stock.
The price to be paid for the
stock is uniformly 1925 per share
and the purchase carries with it
the stock of the Idaho Springs
Investment company, a corporation
organized in recent years for the
purpose of holding the banks real
estate requirements.
Early in January Mr.. McClel-
land sprang surprise by assum-
ing control of the Merchants and
Miners National bank, and now
that he also has the First National
it is understood to be his plan to
soon merge the two institutions
If this is accomplished it will
probably be done by transferring
the business of the Merchants and
Miners National to the First Nat.
ional and liquidating the affairs OF
the M. & NJ.
VIM. L. Bush, president of the
First National bank, will retire and
will undoubtedly remove from the
city but has not yet fully decided
on his plans. Homer Handy
cashier, will also leave the city,
and will probably spend several
months touring the country in his
new car. L r. Emerson will prob.
ably be retained as assistant cash.
led. Henry McClelland. now OF
Trinidad, will be an assistant cash.
ier. The new cashier of the First
National has not yet been named
but will come from among the new
people who are coming in, and is
said to be former national bank
examiner and a man in every
way qualified to give strength tc
the bank.
In the going of Mr.. Bush Idaho
Springs will lose one of her fore
most men, a man who has been
part and parcel of the community
a man who has advanced step by
step since 1883, when he first came
to the city as telegraph operator
for the Colorado & Southern. He
has been in the bank since 1886.
The new men are strongly forti
fed with cash and their coming
will doubtless mean much to the
development of Idaho Springs anc
Clear Greek county.
The formal transfer of the banks
. stock will be effective March 20
Mr.. Bush will remain for a time
in an advisory capacity.

The strange disappearance of a
20 year-od young man by the
name of Douglas Warlow, who was
here in January, taking the baths,
is the cause of much concern by
his grief stricken parents who live
at Portage la Prairie, Manitoba.
Young Warlow wrote home for
money in January and was sent
SIS. He cashed the money order
and left about the next day, JAN
uary 16 or II. leaving an order to
have his mail forwarded to Orleth,
Sask., Canada. The parents heard
nothing from him after sending
the SIS. A letter was received by
them from supposed-to-be doctor
in Dallas, Texas, stating that the
son had been hit ON the head and
robbed and asking them to send
500 at once. Instead of sending
the 800, the father went from
Canada to Dallas and found a man
wearing his sons clothes, his watch
and ring, and even his tie pin, all
of which the father identified as
his sons. The police of Dallas
however, could find no trace of the
missing boy.
A letter was received by Marshal
Fred Thero asking to have the boy
traced from here, and fearing that
he had been foully dealt with be-
fore leaving Idaho Springs. In.
vestigation shows that the young
man left here soon after cashing
his $75 money order and that he
intended to go to Saskatchewan
Canada, which is not far from his
home. bow the Dallas man came

were less than $24,OO0,OOO, the year

less than $14,OOO,OOO. This district is
said to yield the most income tax OF
any in the country.
1t is calculated that by the time for

increase in revenue from this source
over previous years is in part &C.
