The plan suggests that the number

that they are better qualified to se

jury service. At the same time, at

Sheriff Minto has discovered fur

which almost proves that this man

ago.
Dr. Robertson was held up and
shot at 8 o'clock Friday night by a
highwayman wearing a black mask
covering all of his face below the
eyes. The highwayman fired two
shots, only one taking effect. The
bullet passed entirely through Rob

Notice is hereby given that the
Annual Meeting of the Stockholders
of the Independence and Monmouth
Railway Conrpany will be held aj; the
Independence National Bank in Inde
pendence, Oregon, at 10 o'clock a. m.,
on Thursday, the 31st day of Decem

electing officers and such other busi
ness as may properly come before
Mid meeting.
D. W. SEARS,
25-30 Secretary.
Idcnt of the cashier.
The cashier tried to stammer out a
better excuse thnn I had given and.
failing, flnully blurted:
"And what brought you, for the mat
ter of that?"
"I? I often come to the bank before
going to bed to see that all ls safe.
Sometimes I get up at 2 or 3 o'clock in
the morning, come here, look around
and go home. Tonight, having so much
currency ln the safe, I was especially
anxious."
"Having come first," I said, "on tha
same errand, I presume I am enugbt In
the act" ,
"What were you opening the vault
for?" asked the cashier. "Couldn't you
see that It hadn't been tampered with?"
I could see that It hadn't been
blown open, but I couldn't see that the
lock hadn't been picked or that some
one knowing the combination hadn't
opened it and taken the funds."
"Gentlemen," said the president, "we
will have a look at the money and go
home."
I was directed to open the safe. The
bills were found In piles as they bad
been left in the afternoon, and the safe
was closed, and we separated.
The next day I was called before the
president for an examination, which
lasted two hours, and when I came out
of his private office I saw the cashier
go ln, as I inferred, for a similar pur
pose. Notwithstanding that I showed
a clean record, the president and
cashier after consultation decided to
dismiss me,
I appealed to the board of directors.
giving them a statement of the facts.
After a meeting for consultation the
board gave out a decision that the
meeting of the three in the bank was a
coincidence, that there was no guilt at
tached to any one of us, but, ither,
we were all to be commended for our
watchfulness.
The only good this did me was that
I retained my position. I was still un
der suspicion. This Was fostered by
rtie cashier, who, I supposed, won over
the president to his views. Neverthe
less the president acquiesced in the de
cision of the board and exonerated me.
It was but a few weeks after all this
happened that we were startled at an
announcement that the president had
resigned and the cashier had been pro
moted to the vacant position. I was
smarting under what I considered a
blow, for. since the cashier considered
me guilty of an intent to rob the bank,
he would likely put me out ln time,
when the new president Informed me
that I bad been promoted to succeed
him as cashier.
I was thunderstruck. He did not re
fer to the past, and I went about my
new duties in ignorance of what had
bappened to change the situation.

ident bad lost $200,000 ln the stock
