LOCAL MAN ESCAPES
 REBELS WITH GUIDE
l.. Hector Lucier Arrives Home From Revolution Torn
 Honduras
Made Ge,-A~sy By Crossing Difficult
 Mountains on Foot

These Putnam people who were up late last night. say until after the State of Maine express arrived here from New York. and who saw rather tall man walking hriskly from the sta ton down Main street, attired like a cowboy and wearing the eharacteris- tic sombrero. would have been greatly
 surprised had they known that the individual in question was l.. Hector Lueier. son of r. X. Laeier. Putnam ieweier. who had just landed in Put nam after his escape from the revolu- tion torn country of Honduras, Cen. tral America
 Chilled to the Bone
 Mir. Lueier arrived In his home city. frozen te death. so he said. for he stepped off the train clad exactly as he usually was in the tropical country. His exit from Honduras was of the quick fire kind. He didn't have time tn collect anything to take along with him. not even go much as a change of apparel or any of the valuables he had in his temporary home in Honduras.
 Thus it was that the strangely at. tired man arrived in Putnam in the blaekness of last night; thus it was. too, that those who saw him did not recognize such a well-known Putnam man in such rig; but they did re- alize that he must be familiar with the city. for be struck out, at the station, with . vigorous stride and walked rapidly along and gave every evidence of knowing exactly what streets he wanted to pursue to his destination.
 Trip Tires Him Out
 Tired 10 death because of his ex- periences of recent date and because of the loss of sleep, Mir. Lueier soon retired but before doing 50, told something of the happenings which led to his quick getaway from Honduras.
 Mr Lueier. fl appears, was caught between the forces of the revolution leader. Gen. Ferrara, and the Hon duran government troops, which were pressing the Revolutionary army fierceIy from the rear. MT. Lueier was told to get out of the country fl he cared anything about his own safety and comfort. But they didn't help him to make an easy and rapid escape, for they took away from him his horse and donkey.
 Hike. Aeros, Mountains
 Deprived of these accessories of es- cape. MT. Lucier hired a native guide and together they set out on foot across the mountains. It was iong and dangerous journey. Miles and miles had to be travelled. heset on all sides with menaces. Mir. Lucier had to get away SO quickly that he did not have time to collect any of his per sonal effects. But though this way trying. to say the least, he was hap with the timely warning and th 9P- portunity 1t gave him of seting away After hard jour. he and his guide finally reached t4ie coast and Mir. Lucier boarded the first ship avail able that would take him back to the states.
 M Lnci went to Central America a ye,.r ago last May. as an employee of tle United Fruit Company. Later on. however, he became associated with a Honduras gold mining enter prise and when it's manager came to the states, Mir. Lucier remained in charge as acting manager.

DEPOSITORS' HOPES DEPEND ON SALVAGE
If Bank Receiver Attains Ann bition, Everyone Will Get
 Every Penny
Phases of Situation Look Bright
 For Stoekholders

For Stockholders
 If Receiver George Nj. Coffin is as successful as he hopes to be. in his work of recovering money taken from the First National Bank by it's cashier, C. Harold Gilpatric, who on Aug. attempted suicide by shooting himself in the head. it will not only be possible that every depositor will receive 100 cents on the dollar. but stockhlders will not have to pay the full 100 percent assessment, which Comptroller Dawes has already call ed upon them to come forward with on Oct. 20. next.
 There is official sanction of this statement but il. will be noted that this not too unhappy outcome of the wrecking of the bank, all depends on the willingness or ability of creditors of the bank, or of Gilpatric person ally. to make payment of what they owe upon demand of Mir. Coffin. He has already accomplished a lot. Some cash has been recovered. But the work is not half begun. IL will be a long process. it would appear. but there is strong hope that greater sue cess will attend the salvaging efforts. than has heretofore been stated for publication.
 Optimistic Feeling Prevails
 Tn outlining this sentiment, held in official circles. The Patriot has no de- sire to raise false hopes. But it is a fact. nevertheless. that a strong feeling of optimism prevails and rather than the situation at the bank becoming more hopeless, as out of town newspapers have stated this week. the status is changed but little if any The shortage as announced last week by H. H. Mckee of Wash ington. D. C., personal representa- tive of the Comptroller. has not been increased or decreased by any otfi- cial announcement. Receiver Coffin states that nothing material has de- veloped which would cause him to change the stated amount of the shortage, which he states remains at approximately S700,000. Statements 10 the contrary Gas for instance shortage of s1.000,000l Mir Coffin says, are not grounded in truth and therefore are to be disregarded.
 One way of summarizing the situ- ation at the bank Is as follows:
 Estimated loss s700, 900
 Defalcations $500 900
 Bad loans 100000 Less capital. surplus and
 profits 300. 900 Net loss 400, 1000 Estimated salvage from
 Gilpatric's estate 260.000
 Surety bond 10000
 Assessment on stoekhold-
 CTS 100, 900
 1t will be seen by the above tabu- lation, that in addition to the capital. surplus and profits. there will be needed the income from three sourc- es to meet the banks shortage and to pay depositors 100 cents on the dol lar
 Fix Salvage at s26o. 900
 The first of these three items is Mir Gilpatric's personal estate. Salvage from this is estimated now as S260.- 0O0. That the amount will be great ly in excess of this sum, is the belief of Attorney Ernest c. Morse, counsel for the Gilpatric family, who has been working for a month to recover money used by Gill patrie in the promotion of manufac- turing enterprises. real estate and oth-

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Should
Use Swamp-R0Ot

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
it's remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Rqpt is on sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation. send ten cents to DR.

sample bottle. When writing, be sure

DOPE FOR STRIPED BEETLE
Poison is Seeded for Fight Against
Enemy Of the Cucumber.

Reports received at University Farm,
st. Paul, indicate that the striped Gu.
cumber beetle, the most serious enc.
my Of cucumbers, squash, and melons
IN Minnesota, Is carrying on its usual
midsummer campaign. The adult
beetles attack the leaves, causing
much direct injury, and they also
serve as carriers Of wilt and mosaic
diseases. The immature forms Of
the beetle feed on underground stems
and roots.
Experimental work carried on at
University Farm show that the best
means Of control have been poison
dust consisting of calcium arsenate, 1
part, and land plaster, 20 parts. This
dust Is spread with the simplest kind
Of duster, and should be applied two
or three times every 10 days. 1t is
