Banker Freed ~ by High Court No Fraud Found in Charge m Against Ex-President at ^ Plattsmouth. , (C)iarIes C. Parmele, former pres I dent’ of tho Cass County bank at Plattsmouth, who was sentenced in Cass county district court to from on® to three years' imprisdntnent for embezzlement, was set free Tuesday by decision of the slate supreme court, which found that there was no evidence of the fraud charged. Carl J. Frteke, formerly of Omaha, an officer hi the Livingstone Loan and Building company of Platts moutli, sentenced to from one to two years for altering the company's honks, will get a new trial. The su preme court reversed the decision of rife district court for error in the court’s Instructions. The state bank guarantee fund commission lost SGt.onn through n dectsWn handed down Tuesday morn ing in favor of claimants against the American Exchange hank at Bristow, the Farmers State bank at "Winslde, the "Wayne County hank at Sholes, arid tlie Kilgore State hank at Kil gore, all of which are defunct. Attorneys for the commission had refused to pay certain depositors on the grounds that they had hud u secret agreement with bank officials by which they received more than the legal rate of 5 per cent on certifi ates of deposit. The supreme court found that there was insufficient evi dence of such an agreement. Steve Boras of Omaha, sentenced to one year's imprisonment for the shooting of W. 1.. Tlndell in Omaha m 1923, was denied a new trial. r " --' Burgess Bedtime Stories By THORNTON W. Bl Rt.KSS. Tlic Clever Trapper. 'rh" trapper, who had tried to run down Little Joe Otter and his family and kill them with a club, was not one to give up easily. Of course he was disappointed at his failure to get one of those Otter coats. But hi= was not at all discouraged. As soon as • • •» o lie could see tlml the trail led straight to the water P®’ Little Joe Otter and his family had disappeared in the open water at one end of that pond, the trapper stopped running. He was glad to stop, for lie Was quite out pf breath. ""Those Otters won't stay in this pond long,’’ said he to himself. “They know- that I know they are here, so they will move on as soon as they think they safely ran. I know just where they are bound for. They are bound for the big brook where, there is a lot of swift water that freeze and where they will be sure of good fishing. They will stay there for some time. That will he the place to set some traps. The thing for me to do is to leave them alone for while so that they will not -lie at all suspicions. Then I'll set some tr^ps. Their fur is in the best of condition now, and if I can geL two or three of their skins they will pay me several times over for all the* trouble I may tie put to to get them. Ho the trapper turned back and tramped home. He didn’t go back to that pond for two days. When lie did go back he found just what he ex pected to find, and he chuckled when he found it. It was a trail In the snow leading away from that pond in the direction of the big brook. He fol lowed It. As he approached the big brook he was careful to keep out of sight. He could see that the trail led straight to the water. For a long time he remained hidden, patiently watch ing. At last he saw a brown head out In the water. A moment later one of the young Utter with a fish in hi* mouth climbed out on a big, flat rock and ate the fish. "They are there.” chuckled the trapper, “and they will stay, for there are plenty of fish there. I won’t worry them for a while, hut X will study their habits and find out where they are in the habit a-f going and what their favorite places are. They'll be sure to have a slide. That will he one place for a trap. I'll put It right at the foot of the slide. I'll find out wheee they are in the habit of climb Ing out on the hank to go up to the top of the slide and I'll put a trap there. Perhaps I can discover the den where they sleep. That will he an other place for a trap. I suspect that those old Otters (he meant Little Joe and Mrs. Otter) have learned a loti about traps, and it will not be easy to catch them. But I ought to be able to catch those two young Ot ters without much rouble.” So Jjor a week that trapper spent most Tit his time watching the place where Little Joe and his family were living and studying the signs to learn all he could about their habits. But all the time he took the greatest care that they shouldn't know that he was about. He knew that If he should be seen by one of them, Little Joe Otter would at once become sits plcious. AVhen at last he felt that he had learned all he could he took a dozen cruel, steel traps and went over to set them. (Copyright, 1924.)
