A NICE MAN ALL MAY GO WELL WITH HIM BUT OTHERWISE Dire Vengeance I Close On His Heels Very Probably a Case For The Criminal Courts Of Incidental Interest to Clay Center. This morning's Topeka Capital says: In search of her 16-year-old daughter, who fell in love with a traveling man on her way home from Western Kansas on hoard ft Burlington train and alter a courtship of three hours married him, Mrs. M. O. Skinner of Cambridge, arrived here yesterday in search of her daughter and, lately acquired son-in-law.

Mrs. Skinner is looking more especially for her son-in-law, and the meeting, in case he is not a handsome Iieau Hrummel, would lurnish good material for' a long and touching obituary notice. The mother ia not worried so much because her daughter is married.

Balance of Stockholders Are In Favor of tne State Law and the Bank Has Its Certificate And la Going Right Ahead With the Deal Time to Kick Is Passed, Special to The Dispatch. Topeka, Aug.

31. It looks! like the majority of stockholders of the Hutchinson Exchange State bank ahd State Bank Commissioner N. Dolley have slipped up on Frank Larabee, the stockholder in the bank ho started proceedings in the federal courts Saturday night. The action in the federal court was to prevent the remaining stockholders in the hank from continuing their efforts to participate in the state guaranty law. Thq certificate has be(h issued and some attorneys say it will not be impossible to make a test case-out of this particular case.

The case vfis brought as a test case 834' If was alleged in fng papers that the, guaranty law "ftas unconstitutional; that It violated the federal constftu-For two weeks the bankers opposed to the guaranty law had been looking gome bank that Would agree tb be the goat; one that could be used In brlDSlne a test case. Until the Larabee case Was" brought no bank had agreed to it. The Larabee bank has a capital stock of $100,000 and Mr. Larabee owns only $2,000 worth of stock. The remaining stockholders are in favor of participating in the law.

President George H. Welch of the Hutchinson bank is in Topeka and brought with him $1,000 to deposit with the state treasurer. This closes the deal so far as this bank is concerned. It has a full fledged membership in. the guaranty fund and 60 far the federal court has taken na action.

If the court had made some kind of order before the certificate had been issued this hank would have been prevented from receiving its certificate and the case could be used to test the law, but attorneys state that this time has passed.
