In comp liance with the request of their * tone g tbe Judge suspended sentence tor ten days to allow time for the filing of an appeal bond. This case was tried in the federal court in December, 1899, and the defendants were found guilty. A motion was made for a new trial, which the judge took under advisement until Saturday, when he overruled it and pronounced sentence. The Reimers and Charles. R. Alder, cashier, were indicted in October, 1898. Alder was never placed on trial be being a fugitive from justice somewhere in Mexico. Vi The charge against the officers of the .A. Neligb bank was falsify ing the records, violating the banking laws of the United States and making false reports to the comptroller of the treasury It is al leged that originally Abler purchased the bank from the Reimers and that in doing so be used the assets and collateral in making his payments and that they kqew this.

J. Whitmore, took charge of the affairs of the bank he found a shortage of between $30,000 and ! .$40,000 and liabilities of $110,000. | 8it.ce then he has paid 40 per cent in dividends and some $10,000 on taxes anti bills.

Finally the sheriff called the ranch owners in consultation. Among them was Theodore Roosevelt The sheriff V.severely denounced the thieves, asking .F-Sqr the opinions of the ranchers, and Mr1 Roosevelt boldly replied: ‘There -ought lobe no great difficulty in carry ing out your suggestions, Mr' Sheriff, but I have a strong impression that yoa will not be the one to carry them out, for I am convinced, and I think every other -man in this room is, that you have had more to do with the cattle stealing than any other man in the coutitv ” The sber iff resigned bis office tne next day and left thecountry. And the cattle stealing stopped.- March Ladies' Home Journal Bradstreet returned g Deputy 8heriff %uesday evening from Deuver, where he had been after J.
