In stitution Juggled Accounts and Killed Self When Ob ligees Couldn't Pay. O'Xeill, Neb.. July 16. (Sper'al ) - Eugene Smith, late president ct the defunct Farmers bank of Page, was the victim of his friends, bank ers and associates of the unforhinat': official have agreed. The bank was turned over to the State Banking board by its stocl -holders last Monday. Smith was iound dead in a cow pasture on th. outskirts of Page one week agj Tuesday, his head and shoulders submerged in a half barrel tui of water Licd as a drinking trough for cattle. Smith allowed sentiment. Trifii:. ship and a generous heart to over balance the cold judgment a banker must maintain. This is evidenced by $12,(HX) overdrafts shown on the bank's books. Accepted Poor Security. Many men did business on m-ney advanced by the Farmers bank on insufficient or almost worthless se curity, and their inability on oc casion to meet their obligations promptly caused a manipulation ot 'he certificate of deposit record which caused the banker's downfall and his death. Records of the bank show that Smith manipulated his deposit and withdrawal accounts to protect the :iterests of the bank and his. friends to whom loans had been made. He ran the bank practically alone, his bookkeeper being permitted only to handle the daily deposit record and other routine matters. All records of' the bank were kept in good shape until June 20, since which date until his death he had done nothing with them. Mail which he apparently knew was tin pleasant was found unopened. Examination of Smith's effects in tiicate he contemplated flight the morning he died. The night before he transferred all his personal pa pers from the bank to his home for the first time. His personal account at the bank showed a balance of $80. This was found on his body. During the night Smith packed grip for flight, first having left the papers at the bank in such shape to take considerable time to straighten them out. He took onlv the money from the bank which was due him. His personal estate is not very large, and the fact that he took but his own $80 from the bank when he contemplated flight, bankers and acquaintances are agreed that he was the victim of his friends.

Sherman & McConnell Drug Co. Defeat Project to Control And Straighten Elkhorn West Point, Xeb., July 16. (Spe cial.) The election held this week for the ratification of the estab lishment of the Klkhorn drainage district, resulted in the movement being defeated by a vote of nearly two to one. This was a project looking to the straightening and iontroi of the Klkhorn river and ap peared to invoke a strong opposi tion on the part of some of the rwners of property within the pro posed district. Among the chief reasons given for its defeat was the immense cost of material required for construction work and the general high price of everything required to carry out the project as originally designed. Whether th. attempt will he re newed in the future when conditions nre more favorable, is, at the present t nie, problematical. Odd Fellows Will Camp At West Point This Year West Toint.
