Eight hundred checks and drafts floating
around th country or hidden by thieves
With little hope that they will find
th persona for whom they were intended
la ona ot the unusual conditions which is
faced by an Omaha bank at this time as
th result f the larceny of two sacks of
mall from the United States mall wagon
last week.
It so happened that at the time the mall
pouches were stolen a number f the cus
tomers of this bank had sent out pay
checks to traveling men and other corre
spondents In dlfforent parts of the country.
Th amount of each check was compara
tively small, but the aggregate was larger
than the bank manager llkea to think about
until the troubl Is over. A complete reo
ord of ah paper was kept at the bank,
and as soon aa It was known that tho
r pouches would not be recovered Intact the
bank had 1,0 circulars printed. Eight
'"' hundred of these were addressed to the
banks upon which the drafts or checks
wer drawn, giving" the description of the
paper and telling the bank not to pay the
reuulaltlon until further jorders, as the
ehecks had probably reached the hands
of persons for Whom they were not In
tended, and the other 800 circulars were
" Bent to customers who had purchased or
ordered the checks and drafts, telling them
of th loss and requesting them to draw
substitute papers.
The man in charge of this work says that
It will require more than six months to
straighten out the tangle, since some of
the men who drew chucks or purchased
drafts will demand long and tedious ex
planatlon, while -others will flatly refuse
lo do anything In the matter until all hope
f recovering the lost checks Is abandoned.
Government A beat to Act.
Incidentally the banker does not seem
to think that the government officials are
working on the case with the Interest the
occasion diunaiida, and says that unless the
thieves are run down Uncle Sum's malls
beer is health sustaining.
To be sure of good beer
make it a point to ask for .

The regularity with which these mall

out that expert secret service officers are

cussion wea brought out as to the probable
cause of the failure of the annual county
fair to pay out financially. Numerous rea
sons were advanced by the stockholders
present.) There seemed to be a disposition
on the part of a few of the stockholders
to discontinue the fair, sell the grounds
and pay the Indebtedness against the as
sociation. Th majority1, 'however, favored
the going ahead with the fair. It was
decided to hold a strictly agricultural and
mechanical fair next yeari-hors races,
ball game" and othur expensive amuse
ments being obliged to give place to ex
hibits Intended wholly to exploit the re
sources of the county. Representatives of
the Tecumsch Chautauqua association were
present and the grounds were rented the

party of men Interested In holding a race
meet here In connection with the State
Bpeed association, also got option on the

President, M. Roberts; vice president,
Theodore Smith; treasurer, T. J. Pierson;
secretary, Hugh LaMaster; board of dl
rectora, F. B. Bodle, II. U. Miner and

men descended upon a sheep camp belong
ing to Walsner Bros, of Sheridan, killed
800 head and burned the camp wagon and
outfit. The herder was driven away at
the point of ajille and told to hit the trail
lively or take the consequences. The
camp was located between Wild Horse
creek and Powder river, eight miles north
of Arvada. The attack was made In the
early morning, the men, after driving the
herder away firing Into the band of sheep,
killing ftiO, wounding-many and scattering
the band over a wide area.
The sheriff was summoned from here and
followed the tracks of the mounted raiders
until they were merged Into a main thor
oughfare, when the trail was lost. While

a year ago. The cattlemen say the Wals
ner have their sheep on the other side
of the boundary line agreed upon between
Vattle and sheep men. As It Is government
land the Walsnera claim th right to use It.
