serious condition from dose Of
nux vomfca which he took yester-
day in an effort to end his own life,
following his full confession OF II

and nine thousand dollars.
Browns confession, it Is under
stood, came just before w. Frank
McGee, Of Anderson. recently elected
president Of the bank, and Assistant
State Bank Examiner Townsend be-
gan an examination Of the banks af-
fairs. Knowledge that something was
wrong at the bank had been for
warded to Mr.. McGee, and he. with
the assistant bank examiner, went to
Mount Carmel to begin an investigl-
ton. When this investigation was
started, Brown made full confess
sion to the officers and directors OF
tho bank.
Brown, it Is said. offered his pro-
perty to the bank, and this PROPOSE
tion was likely accepted. His in
demnity bond holds good, and, ac-
cording to information received here.
he will be given chance to make
up the deficit.
Physicians are hopeful Of bringing
Brown through the illness caused by
the poison. Mr.. McGoc is still in
Mount Carmel and believes that the
problems of the bank can be worked
out without the bank closing. The
branch bank at Calhoun Falls Is in
fine shape, according to n statement

CHILDREN GET
EYES EXAMINED
Opto1netrists Give Service
Free Toward Correcting
Defective Eyesight.

Better Vision for Children is the
slogan Of the North Dakota Optic
metrical association, for its statewide
clinic which began on Monday, De-
cember 26, and will continue through
until next Monday.
Accordin gto local optometrists, a
number of children have awaited
themselves of the opportunity to get
free examination of their eyes, and it
is expected that during the remainder
of the week a larger number will have
their eyes examined.
If parents do not accompany the
children who ask for an examination,
the optometrist fills out a slip, telling
the exact condition in which the eyes
are found, and advising glasses, II
they are necessary.
L.. J. Anderson of Grand Forks is
secretary of the North Dakota Opto-
metrical society, under the auspices of
which the special clinic is being held.
According to information compiled by
the association there are many school
children in the state held back in
their school work because of defective
eyesight. 1t was decided that in or
der to help in correcting the situation,
optometrists of the state would give
free examination to children asking
for it during this present week, when
the better vision" campaign was on.
