James Topp Is
Given Release
by Commission
Find After Long Day of Trial That
the Man Is Not Mentally
Unbalanced.
From Thursdays Dally
The long drawn out struggle that
was waged all day yesterday in the
hearing or the insanity complaint
made against James Topp. middle
aged farm hand of near Murray, ter
minated late yesterday afternoon
when the insanity commission de-
tided that Mr. Topp was not insan
and released him from the custod
f.f Sheriff Bert Reed, who has had
him in charge for tlie past few days.
The case was one that drew the
greatest of attention from the neigh
borhood south and west of Murray
and between that place and Xehawka
and the residents of that locality who
were not witnesses on one of the
fides in the case were present as spec
tators.
Mr. Topp, who has been residing in
the locality between Murray and Ne
hawka for some months., has been
"batching" in a small house and
working for Frank Schlichtemeeir
and rarties residing in that neigh
borhood were those who filed the
complaint against the man as to his
sanity. It was claimed that Topp had
bt-en disturbing the residents along
the highway with his loud talking to
himself and swearing as well as be
ing neglectful of his person and
which formed the basis of the charg
es made that his mental condition
was not what it should be. A large
number of the residents testified to
various' actions of Mr. Topp but
which seemed rather eccentricity of
a person who had led a secluded and
solitary life.
The employers of Mr. Topp and a
number of the persons who had been
familiar with him during the time of
his residence in this present home
gave testimony in his behalf and bat
tled very strongly to keep him, from
being' adjudged insane.
After the completion of- the testi
mony yesterday afternoon, the rom
misoion composed of Attouy C. A.
Rawls. Dr. J. S. Livingston and C. E.
Ldgeway, deputy clerk of the dis
trict court, took up the personal ex
amination of the man who was on
trial and from their own observa
tions of the man and questioning
they arrived at the decision that he
was entitled to his liberty.
Mr. Topp was arrested several
weeks ago charged with having
threatened several parties residing in
that section of the county where he
lives, but on the trial of the case in
the county court the action was dis
missed for the lack of evidence that
he had made the threats.
. It was the report at the court house
that the present action will be fol
lowed later by damage suits by Mr.
Topp against the residents in his
hoinf locality, the outgrowth cf the
neighborhood trouble that seems to
be of several months standing.

Attendance Despite Threat
of Rain.
From Thursday's Dally
Last evening the Eagles band pre
sented the lat concert of the sum
mer season" which concerts had been

There is no form of entertainment
that is more pleasing than the band
concerts and their popularity with

in the large crowds that have been
lit attendance at an cr tne concerts
that have covered some fourteen
weeks and have made very pleasant
events. This year there was not a
single one of the concerts postponed

wealth of musical and other talent In
the city could be very easily arrang
ed and held in the Legion community;
building that will accommodate a

Farmers State
Bank Building
Now Completed
Reconstruction Gives One of Hand
somest Banking Houses in This
Part of State.
From Saturday's raily
The program . of building recon
struction that has been in progress at
the Farmers State bank in this city
for a period of several weeks, is now
practically completed and the formal
opening of the bank building for the
inspection of the public will be held
in the coming week, probably on
Wednesday.
The building has been rebuilt and
now one of the most attractive
banking houses in the state and with
beautv and convenience in the finish -
ng and equipment of the structure
The exterior which is finished in
white stone is one that attracts the
eye of every one and makes the
structure stand out as one of the
handsomest in the business part of
the city. The white stone has been
set out by the soft yellok trimming
and windows of of prism glass
that gives light into the main
portion of the banking room while
the large heavy plate glass window
that makes the front of the main
room a place of lightness and com
fort. Large and heavy brass doors
ing nouse and are a real touch o"
artistic finishing to the exterior o'
the building and set in a framework
of black grill work they are very
distinctive in appearance.
The interior of the bank has been
changed a great deal in the program
of renovation, the banking room en
larged and giving more space for the
clerks while the main lobby Is ar
ranged for the rest and comfort of
the patrons.
The wood work of the interior is
all in the plain walnut which is a
rich and simple setting for the many
attractive decorative features of the
newly arranged bank, the wall desks
for the customers, the partitions and
desks all being in the walnut and the
private oCIee and tonsulting room of
the bank being also finished in this
kind of wood.
The ceiling of the entire building
is finished by F. R. Gobelman, the
painter and decorator in tones of
light cream which with the splendid
lighting facilities make the room al
ways attractive and light. The side
walls of the main room are finished
to a height of six feet with a
canestone decoration of deep cream
and yellow and which is one of the
most beautiful features of the room 1
Along the base of the side walls as
well as the partitions of the room
is a baseboard of marble.
As one enters the bank they find
to the right of the entrance the rail
ed office of Mr. T. II. Pollock,
president of the bank and which is
finished in the walnut fittings, with
window drapes of rich cream at the
top of the large window and dark
blue velvet curtains with brass hold
ers at the lower part of the window.
From the office of Mr. Pollock one
enters a small consultation room
where wood and glass partitions sepa
rates the room from the office and
also from the main banking room and
with comfortable cushioned seats and
table makes an ideal place to trans
act any confidential business mat
ters. The banking room where the af
fairs cf the bank are handled, is
made a great deal larger and gives
more comfort and better working
facilities to the working force of the
bank.
Going straight to the rear of the
main room one reaches the vault of
the building devoted to the safety de
posit boxes of the bank and here is
provided a small well equipped room
where the patrons of this department
may transact their business with
comfort and privacy and with tables
and chairs provides for their ease and
comfort while they may be check
ing over and handling the" contents
of their safe deposit boxes.
The safe deposity vault Is as
strong and formible as any that can
be found in any mank and huge walls
of solid concrete and steel provide
for safety from fire or burglary. In
the rear of the vault a large mirror is
arranged and which adds to the
lightness of the vault.
To the right of the customers room
is a small room at the north portion
of the work room which can be used
as the directors room of the bank
and which will be well equipped for
the comfort and ease of the officers of
the bank when they meet to look af
ter their affairs. From this room
opens the vault of the bank itself
where are stored the safes for the
currency and other valuables that be
long to the bank. This vault is the
very last word in safety and protec
tion and is well lighted and arranged
for the efficient care of the bank
property from theft and loss.
The two vaults of the bank which
were built by the Modern Construc
tion company, are very large anc
have been made as effective against
fire or the attacks of burglars as is
possible and they occupy the larger
part of the former room in the rear
of the bank, the old vault having
been taken out to permit the enlarg-
ing of the main room and the new
fortress like vaults built to erve the
bank and the owners of the safe de
posit boxes.
The safety of the bank is not de
pendent entirely on the strength of
the vaults as one of the most modern
burglar alarm systems in the coun
try is being installed in the bank
and which will offer every safeguard
against the attacks of robbers either
in day or night. The O. B. McClin
tock Burglar alarm system is that be
ing installed and which is so arrang
ed that the slightest attempt to force
entrance to the bank building or the
vaults will set off the alarm which is
located on the roof of the building
The alarm system operates on sound
waves and is so delicately adjusted
that a blow on the door of the vault
or the slightest attempt to drill into
the steel of the vault doors with
drills or torches will at once set off
the alarm.
'The O. B. McClintock company has
j one of the most riodern methods of
burglar alarms and which operates
! the sound wave system; one of the
most delicately adjusted and sensa-
tive to any attempt to enter places
protected by the system. In each of
the vaults are placed sound receiverr
and which are so adjusted that even
the conversation of the human voice
in the vaults is recorded by the de
licate mechanism o the four inch re
ceiver. The doors of the vaults are
arranged with many means of creat
ing the alarm and when the system
is on there is no possible chance of
getting in to the 'ault or even at
tempting to open the doors or dril'
into the wall without setting off the
alarm Throughout the bank there are
placed daylight alarms that will aid
in setting the alarm in case of a hold
up and which can he tripped without
the knowledge of anyone attempting
a holdup. .
In addition to the burglar alarm
there has been placed at the front of
the bank room a huge flood light that
makes every corner of the bank ac
light as day when it Is turned on and
which, is also a protection against
night raids by burglars.
The burglar alarm has been in
stalled by O. Halden, expert electri
cian of the McClintock Co.
