Cincinnati. Nov. 4.--The Ohio river steamers Island Queen and Morning Star were on fire at their wharf boat here today and were expected to be a total loss. The boats were not under steam. The only person aboard the boats was the watchman.

 Other boats in the harbor hastened to places of safety, seeking shelter in the harbor on the Kentucky ride and in the Licking river.
 Before being able to escape from the harbor. the steamer Tacoma and the tow boat Chris Green caught fire.
 An hour after the fire was discov- cred it appeared that the Island Queen, Morning Star and Tacoma would be burned to the waters edge

INSANE PRISONER ATTEMPTS
no BURN WAY OUT OF JAxT

Scobey Sentinel-Friday morning,
shofiy after nine o'clock, an incident
which might easily have ended fatally
had 1t happened couple of hours -earli~
er, occurred at the county Jail at Scobey.
One August RoseIlette, who was ad-
judged insane, set fire to the mattress
and clothing in his cell, stating that he
was going to burn his way out M. G.
Morehead and VIM. Anderson, who had
been placed in ncustody yesterday even
ing on charge OF smuggling liquor
from Canada, were inn the adjoining
cell, helpless victims of the insane mans
prank.
The two men raised a cry of fire"
and awoke Andy Fadness who rooms in
the adjoining fire hall. He rushed to
the sheriff's office, but the sheriff and
his force were vet journeying in the land

Undersheriff Galloway and Hale Nelson
went after the keys In the meantime
the Jail windows were broken in order
to let some ofjthe smoke out
Galloway arrived while Nyquist was
attempting to unlock the outer door
The smoke was so thick on the inside
that it was hard to find the cell locks.
The insane mans cell being the easier
to unlock he was released first, but he
showed no disposition to leav and want
ed to enertain the undersheriff, who was
smashing the lock Of he other cell. While
the dense smoke had apparently no ef-
feet on the insane man, it had the other
two men in bad shape. They were hold
ing their faces close to the floor and
kept their heads covered with quilts.
When the lock was finally smashed they
did not need to be invited outside to
inhalle the freshest. sweetest, most ex-
hilerafing air they ever breathed.
Undersheriff Galloway also felt the

did other citizens who assisted him. but

County Financing BANKS

The readers attention is called to the
Cash Reserve of the above bank. under
the head Of Silver Coin, Currency and
Due From Approved Reserve Agents,
amounting In all to s52,841.s4, and also
the items Due from Other Banks. $4,-
975.14: Checks and Exchanges for Clear
ing Houses. $7,458.72; and Other Cash
Items. $3,101.68, which might all be con-
sidered as available cash reserve,
amounting in all to the sum of $68,377.38
which constitutes that banks entire
cash reserve on December 31st, 1921.
Now. referring to Liabilities, see under

not drawing any interest, and it will be
observed that the above bank. If the
allegations are true. owes Roosevelt
county on this paper a sum Of money
which is 81. 900 more than the entire
available cash reserve Of the above bank,
or If demand was made on that bank
for this unsecured money. that bank
would either have to borrow Hot Of
money from other sources or close it's
doors, and 1t is not very easy to bor-
row money from other sources at this
time. Two banks have already closed
their doors from pure exhaustion in
Poplar and from the above statement
anyone can see what chance Roosevelt
county has to get its money out of the
above bank if it should try. Attention
is also called to the alleged facts that
the Traders State Bank has over $780,
O0o.0e of county money regularly depos-
tied but not covered by bonds outside
Of the money deposited on cashier
checks. County Commissioner Patch
