THE CALL COMES SUDDENLY Mr. Craig Balsh came to the neighborhood of Murdock something like eleven years ago and first stop ped at the home of A. A. Lindell, where he has made his home since, but a portion of the time working elsewhere. For more than six years he has worked at the Lindell home. For the past few months he has been staying at the home of Gust Borne meier where he has looked after the chores and worked also, cooking for himself, as Mr. Bornemeier has made his home most of the time in Lin coln. On Friday of last week he was assisting in shelling corn at the home of Martin Bornemeier and was feel ing pretty poorly, his heart thump ing very badly, and concluded to go to the house until noon and accord ingly went to the home of Gust Bor nemeier which is but a short distance from where the shelling was being done. He had entered the house and gotten some fuel for starting a fire and had apparently turned around for a match to light the kindling when he had fallen over and prob ably expired at once as no evidences of a struggle were apparent. At noon Martin Bornemeier went to call him to come to dinner and on entering the room found the body of Mr. Balsh lying on the floor near the stove as he had fallen. The mother, Mrs. Nora Balsh of Newberry, Idaho, was no tified and came here. The funeral was held on Wednesday last at the Callihan church and interment made at the cemetery there. Mr. Balsh was held high by the large circle of friends which he had won by his pleasing manners. Card of Thanks I desire to express how much I ap preciate the kindnesses of the many friends which I have found in and near Murdock for the kindnesses which they showed at the time of the death of my dear Eon. Craig Balsh. and for the floral token of love and respect for him. Again I thank you friends for your kindness. .Mrs. Nora Balsh.

Hall Eelates "Inside Story" of Banking Situation at Committee Hearing. Lincoln, Feb. 22. "The break of Governor Charles W. Bryan with state bankers over banking legisla tion grew out of the spurning of the governor's offer to work with the state bankers' association quietly, and agree on changes in the bank guaranty law without the publicity that would shake public faith in the guaranty fund." ! Detail by detail. Dr. P. L. Hall cf Lincoln, dean of Nebraska legisla-t tore and former secretary of the state banking board, related the ":n-: side story" to a hundred bankers and legislators tonight at the hearing before the senate banking committee on the committee's substitute for the bankers' bill, which had been op posed by most of the bankers in the course of the evening. Bankers had been influenced by "the greatest propaganda ever known in Nebraska," Dr. Hall charged, "to take control to themselves." He saw- in it an effort centering largely on the keeping of Governor Eryan en-j tirely out of banking affairs, over) which the governor now has juris diction. I tion to me and by him communicated to officers of the state bankers' as- aociation twelve of the leading bankers of the state met in Lincoln and appointed a committee to draft amendments to the bank guaranty law nr Hall ssi-i "Peculiar Thing Happened" "A peculiar thing happened then, sentlemen. Two days later the Ne braska Agricultural Loan association met in Omaha and upset everything that had teen done in Lincoln. "It abrogated to itself all knowl edge of banking needs, and it used , v. "', . " ":r the bankers association to spread the greatest propaganda I have ever known to be camea on in this state. "Meanwhile . Governor Bryan had notified , the association to call in a dozen of the best bankers in the state and he would let them name any one lin hanVin? rfpnartmpnt. or hp. him- self would name any other parson these bankers might choose. .

But no questions were raised. II the bankers association diu House Roll 272, which passed the j house, is passed by the legislature, Governor Bryan will veto it," Dr. iHaTl declared.

The bankers before the senate committee evidenced little desire to discuss the proposed substitute. They were iu favor of S. F. 105 and H. . 272, similar bills, and did not caro to talk about a substitute of which they knew little. However, many talked to the points mentioned by the committee chairman. Judge B. F. Good, of Lincoln, did not like that portion of the substi tute which makes certificates of de posits of state banks assignable but non-negotiable, as he thought this would destroy their value. Cass County Opinion H. A. Schneider of Plattsmouth said banks in his town had never paid over 4 per cent interest. He snid the interest rate will take care of it?elf. He opposed a reduction of the guaranty assessment. "We are sitting on a keg of dynamite." he Said. "The people are watching it. Don't do anything to the guaranty law that will make depositors sus picion::. It would be folly to reduce the assessment. We want a commis- ' t . . . . to put in new capital. I am in favor of the election of such a commission by bankers, not by appointment. "In regard to the expense of re ceiverships, the attorneys that go with the receiverships are the men to watch. They and not receivers are getting all the money. Casa county bankers are for the house bill." "Unless we get relief, the bankers of Nebraska will do as they did in Oklahoma." was the parting word oC Mr. Schneider Charles Bliss had announced that 114 banks in Oklahoma had national ized and that there is a J 10,000,000 debt on the guaranty fund.
