A VERY NARROW , ESCAPE Frenzied by the Loss of His Money a Depositor Attempts to Shoot -J. K. Edmiston. Associated Press. Walla Walla, April 23. Considerable excitement was caused this morning over the attempted shooting of J. K. Edmiston. resident of the defunct Walla Walla Savlnra bank, by H. C Tobln, one of our mosb prominent cltl tens. Saturday evening Edmiston was released from the county Jail on giving bond In the sum of $1,500 to appear in superior court next month to answer the charge of receiving money for ae. posit when, he had knowledge the bank was Insolvent. This morning, while to mlwton was standing on the street talk ing with John Thoney, a depositor of the bank, Tobln came up, and drawing a revolver Bhot at Edmiston, but missed him. Edmlstoi turned around and ran down the street, followed by Tobln, who fired four more Bhots, wlthout'effect!' Several citizens caught Tobln and took the pistol from hlmv and Edmis ton then ran Into a residence and hid himself. Tobln was arrested and taken before a Justice of the peace, where he pleaded guilty to the charge of assault and was fined $20 and coBts. The shooting Is the result of the fail ure of the bank. Tobln was a depositor In the sumi of $5,000, and claims that a few days before the bank suspended he demanded bis money, but Edmiston put him oft for several days. Meantime Uie bank became Insolvent. Ever'slnce Ed miston was acquitted of the charge of embezzlement by the Jury at Pomeroy, publio sentiment agalnBt him has run high, and many rumors that his life was in Jeopardy have been current. Tobln is' one of the most prominent business men in the city and lost all he had by the failure of the bank, and this, with other minor troubles weighing up on his mind, It is supposed, produced a sudden Impulse and caused bis action.

Olympla, Wash., April 23. Gen. Don Carlos Buell, an officer prominent In the late rebellion, called on Gov.

The solution is drawn from the tanks, and by the application of electricity the gold is sepa-ated. Hit same as In electro-plating.
