R. J. Marsh is wondering what im
portant event in his life will happen
on next October 15th. This date has
Vlayed a very important part in Bob’s
past, anting the most important of
which are his arrival in Holt county
October 15, 1878; moved from the
farm to O’Neill, October 15, 1889;
Married Kate Menish, October 15,
1895; bought the Bottling Works Oc
tober 15, 1907; made the contract with
the insurance company with whom he
is still employed on October 15, 1914.
In talking over the early days Bob’s
nir.d drifted from the early settlers
lown to the present time and the fol
owing is what we gather from his
remarks: “Saw herds of antelope in
he northern part of Holt county in
ho early days; saw packs of prairie
wolves; made trips with oxen west to
hi headwaters of the Niobrara river
\t the age of sixteen years; saw the
>i air ie fires sweep all grasses from the
Miobrara river through to the county
’.;ne south, in a few days; met Indians
vn the prairie north of O’Neill;
smoked the “pipe of peace” with
Chief “Honest John” at the Pine Ridge
agency thirty-eight years ago: saw
the oldest trees, now in Holt county,
planted; saw the first white child that
was born in Holt county (Joe Ryan)
when he was one year old; saw every
important event that has taken place
m Holt county the past forty-six
years.

CHICAGO FIRM LOSES
STATE BANK FUND SUIT
Lincoln, July 7.—The state- su
preme court has decided against the
Chicago Title and Trust Co. in its
suit for thirty thousand dollars
against the state bank guaranty fund,
growing out of the failure of the
Brown County Bank of Long Pine. It
was alleged that some time prior to
its failure the bank issued twenty
certificates of deposit for the-total sum
of thirty thousand dollars to H. F.
Bird, and that these came into the
possession of the plaintiff in the usual
course of business and for value, but
it is found by the high court that the
certificates were not given on a de
posit, but on a loan and that they are
not, therefore, a lien against the
guaranty fund.
Raymond J.Bischoff.who in 1921 cut
quite a splurge in financial circles and
who failed for more than $4,000,000
of money belonging to Chicago wage
earners, who had been induced to in
vest their small savings, was the
original purchaser of the securities of
the Long Pine bank which have been
declared worthless by the court de
cision. Bischoff, known as the Chicago
Porzi, attracted much attention at
Ainsworth where he instituted suit to
recover on the certificates of deposit,
by playing bridge for a dollar a point
and because of his frequent use of the
long distance telephone to Chicago to
direct his financial operations. The
decision sustains the original decision
of District Judge Robert R. Dickson,
who presided at the first hearing.
