Not on the Market.
The following epistle, signed by
plain “Jack” and probably designed
for some fair dame who pines o’er un-.
requited love, was picked up on the
street and handed in for the editor to
(ind the owner, which we hope to do
by giving it publicity:
“Why do you talk to me? Why
need 1 listen? 1 am wiser than a kid
of 7. I have frustrated thirty-seven
distinct and separate attempts to
break my heart by as many fair ladies.
I am now aroof against so-called win
ning smiles, goo-goo eyes, graceful
poises, love taps, broad hints, compli
ments and divers other great and terri
ble weapons used by young women (and
even widows) as well as the imploring
wail of maidens over 30 years of age,
and 1 further declare that 1 have
withdrawn myself from the market
and am not open to negotiations on
any terms or conditions and 1 prefer
to reside in the town of Freedom,
county of Independence, and the state
of Single-blessedness, and pay the
state tax for bachelors, rather than be
taxed by a wife.—Jack.’ ”

EIAIINEEFILES ANSWER
Document Has Been in Hands of the
Clerk Awaiting Ruling of Court.
McGREEVY SWORE TO STATEMENT
Whittemore Makes Various Allega
tions Concerning Elkhorn Valley
Bank Examination.
The answer ot Fred Whittemore,
state bank examiner, in the cases in
district court brought against him
and the Fidelity and Guarantee com
pany of Maryland, was tiled with the
clerk of the district court last week,
after the ruling of the court on the
defendant’s demurrer wherein the
plaintiff’s petition was asked to be
amended.
The examiner’s answer, as hereto
fore alluded to by The Frontier, sets
forth that at the time of his examina
tion of the Elkhorn Valley bank in
December, 1903, he required the presi
dent of the bank, B. McGreevy, ac
cording to law and the rules of the
state banking board, to make his
oath as to the financial condition of
he bank, which statement and oath
of the president allowed assets of the
bank aggregating #88,953.24. He al
leges that lie made a personal and
careful investigation of the books and
papers of the bank, reporting to the
banking board “that a good deal of
this paper is not first rate. They pay
high rates for deposits and loan con
siderable at usurious rates, and as a
consequence had accumulated a lot of
notes that are not kept up to date.”
The examiner further says that he
leported “that they had nine notes,
amounting to #409.23, which they had
charged off at the suggestion of this
defendant; that they had forty-two
past due notes delinquent longer than
November 1, and amounting to #3,
057.90,” and requested the said bank
ing board to write them urging that
that paper be kept paid up, and that
people who do not pay their notes
promptly, be not allowed to borrow,
saying, “also make such suggestions
as are proper for holding real estate
contrary to banking act, and that
overdrafts be curtailed.”
The petition has been in the hands
of the clerk since the beginning of the
suits, but was only filed last week, the
ruling of the court directing the
plaintiffs to amend their petitions as
asked in the defendants’ demurer be
ing made on September 18.
When these cases will be brought to
trial, if at all, is still a matter of con
jecture with the public. Court was
in session last Saturday disposing of
some equity matters and adjourned
until the 30th.
