Tucson, Arizona, April 11. The case

now understood that the government
will stand between tho depositors and
Smith, making the bondsmen stand
the loss. If this is the case, it will be
of vast benefit to a large class of poor
men, who mortgaged their possessions
to make this deposit and in many cases
had to pay two and three times
already as in many cases Smith claims
ho did not get the money, compelling
him to make another deposit. There
