rowed.

lations which permitted borrowers
to evade the rule that down pay
mentS must be made in obtaining

the full price of an article which a
borrower wished to buy. unless the
article was put up as security.
Other changes announced at the
same time would increase the CELL
ing on installment loans from
81 900 to $500, exempt from regu-
lation business loans and loans for
the purchase of construction Of a
building. eliminate requirement for
down payments if the amount was
not more than 81, permit farmers to
repay installment loans on any
schedule which calls for down
payment and l8 months maturity
and permit credit obtained as an
addition TO an earlier debt either
TO be treated separately or COM
bined for payment within Is

Shortly after he had settled, a
series of ~stagecoach hold-ups and
the murder of wo messengers

grandfather, who was known to be
one of the finest riders of the
vicinity, offered his services much
to the joy of Wells-Fargo.
On his first assignment nothing
untoward happened but on his re-

cradle currency, he was ambushed
and wounded before making his
getaway. Upon his return to Cody
