MAY HAVE MET FOUL FLAY About a Year Ago Mr. Schiller, the Mis sins Man Wat Shot While in Charge of the Bank, and Brothers Fear He May Have Been Agra Assaulted. New York, Oct. 0. Through police headquarters a country wide alarm ha been sent out for Abraham SchilTer, a controlling owner in the slik firm of Pol gran & Meyer, and a part owner of the Alamosa bank of Alamosa, Colo., which cloed its doors a few days ago alter ijS.'iO.OtH) of its funds were reported mis sing. Mr. Shiner left New York last Thurs day, ostensibly for Alauiosa and has not been heard from since, lie did not reach his destination and telegraph message to various parts of the country having failed to reach him, his brother, Herman, fearing that he had met with violence, yesterday asked the police to aid in (hiding him. Isaac Schiller another brother, was Abraham's partuer in the western bank. According to a statement made at their office yesterday they were interested to the extent of X,00 each. Their first knowledge of trouble in the bank's af fairs came to them last week when it was reported that 70,000 had been lost in some manner unknown. They at ome prepared to go to Alamosa, Isaac start ing first. He is there now. Abraham was unable to go until last Thursday. About a year ago Mr. Schiller was shot while in charge of the bank at Ala mosa, and his brother thinks he may have been again assaulted. In speaking of the management of the Alamosa hank, Herman SchilTer said yes terday be knew nothing of any specula tion in mining stock or mines which is reported to have caused the collapse of the bank. He said that so far as he knew, his brothers were not interested in any such deals. He said he was un able to exress any opinion on the eaue ofr the failure because he was without news except the public printing. PLUCKY, BUT MODEST Young Aitorian Plunges Into the BBay and Saves a Life. About 0 o'clock on Thursday evening last, while the local business world of Astoria was closing its doors and pre paring for home, a few busy people still lingered on the l.imlenlierger dock re ceiving the last shipment of the day from a truck just arrived there. The driver of this truck was Ben. Marion, a well known yoiuig swimmer and al round athlete. During a pause in the bu:nes on hand, Marion, glancing over the string er to the bay saw a hoy in a boat and both in trouble. Presently the boat overturned and the youngster was in the bay and gave every sign of help lessness in his situation. Itcn. Marion made a running jump, flinging his coat as he ran, and plunged into the water, and in a trice had the Imy (whose name is (ieorgie 0uiundon) back on the disk in safety. Mr. Marion is as modot as he is plucky and prevailed on the by-standera to say nothing of the occurrence, but it leaded out yesterday, and as the As torian believe in placing credit where it is due, the story is written as it was given a reporter yeterday morning by one who-heaol it from an eyewitness. PROBATE COURT. An order was made in the probate court yesterday approving the final ac count of the executor of the estate of William Edgar, deceased. CALL AND GET YOUR TROUT. Dell Rculley and John Mam-hict made a trip to Olney yesterday. They took out a fresh supply of bait to the fish ing party that Collector Kobb is chap eroning there.
