The people ofUhanOn Veremuch su
prised on Monday morning when they saw
an excited crowd of men snrrornding the
counters oi the Bank of Lebanon. The
news soon spread that a ran was being
made and many wboee hard earned money
was supposed to be within the vaults of the
bank demanded mymcnt. Othen thought
the rumors unfounded awl did not at
tempt to get their money. It did not take
long for the assistant? cashier to empty the
vaults. Bevetal tbonsand dollars was paid
out by 9.30. Trie cashier paid all that the
bank had In band and thee closed the
doors to ponder upon the uncwrtaaoties of
of life, lie Wt no great concern when the
run began, au he momentarily expected
re-enforcements ftom Albany, but it never
came. Tin cashier was In Albany on the
-purpose of bringing out the necessary fnnds
to naeet any -demand that theaay might
bring forth. He awaited the action of the
Directors of the Linn County Bank. But
their decision to cloee down their bank was
fatal to A Lebanon bank. Hence he
brought back no funds. A telegram came
late in the an oming from MrOowan to close
the doom But this was unneoessary aa the
doors has been closed and all the money
paid out as far as It snuld go.
At present there is oo data apon which
to base a caulculation Alio At liabilities
and assets of the Lebanon bank. There is
yet unpaid some twenty or twenty-live
thousand dollars. Unless Jkis bsnk is I
complicated by indebtedness to uther '
banks, its notes ought to pay all depositors.
Whether these notes tiavetbeen placed else
where as collateral, is unknown to the
public, as the hank ufheers have not as yet
made any siatementi It is seared that the
bank depositors cantm be padm lull. The
Albany banks will probably pay in fulL
There is much disailactlon at this place.
People feel that their money has been im
properly used. They believe that this bank,
if its resources had totem left alone, would
tueet Its obligations',' The bsnk has pros
pered and has always given satisfaction to
the public; Nr: Cowan, the owner of the
bank, is much censured. A lull statement
js promised, which wilj doubtless show the
public nn whom t visit their censure
for whatever losses taut may be sustained.
Mr. Cowan should furnish to the public a
full explanation of tile cause that lead to
this fuilure. If the deiwsilors do not get
their noney, they should at least have the
satisfaction of knowing where their money
has gone. Mr. Cowan was the owner of
the Bank ol lbanou,and is solely respon
sible for the failure. Mr. Cowan must bear
with the righteous indignation of the
people whose money he received in conn
deuce butXails to return ashen demanded.

James Harrittgton, a desperate char
acter who prided himself oa his shoot
ing qualities, waa shot by a oook
named Cjaaingham at Wallace,
Idaho, on Saturday and fatally
vwuuded. Harrington kicked a dog
belonging to Cunningham and when
Use latter resented the act, Harrington
ailed a gun on him, -slashing him
across the breast in Imitation of cross
bones. Cunningham went to the back
part of the room, took hie gnn from

three times before he could get his gun
to work. Harrington was formerly
from Verglnia City, Nev., and has the
reputation of having killed ten men.
As Mr Landisandson who lives near

was pulling stumps with an old Cap-
san machine just acioes the river from
that place on last Thuusday morning,
the harness gave way and the sweep,
thus freed, swung swiftly bockwards
striking ;both man and boy between
the knee and hip broke one leg for
each. The rccident is a sad one in
deed and is rendered more so by the
fact that a large family depended upon
them for support.
A warrant has been issued for the
arrest of Edward Close, of Harrisburg,
on a charge of perjury for swearing
falsely to the age of a bride of that
place. A few days ago the county
clerk was asked to issue a license to
Frederick Close and Maud Heeley, of
Harrisburg. Edward Close, a brother
of the groom, testified that the bride
was over 18 years of age, but after the
marriage it was discovered that she was
not and the marriage was against the
wishes of her parents which caused
the warrant for bis arrest to be Issued.

A couple of we 1 dressed mtfn e.lnim
lug to he Portia . id bankers, one giving
the name of Corbett, went to the fario
of Mr. William Abraham, the owner
of 640 acres of fine land across the
river, and entered into negotiations
witn him for the purchase of the prop
erty for a big prune orchard. The
price waa Anally agreed up at $75 an
acre; but as a part the of arrangement
Mr. Abraham waa to purchase an ad
joining farm for $6000, assuming a
$4000 mortgage and paying $2000 ia
cash beforehand. He only had $1300
In the bank, and In order to help com
plete the bargain Corbett and his
friend advanced $700. The $1300 was
drawn out of the bank and the whole
placed in a tin box, and It was agreed -that
it should be kept by Mr. Abra
ham, and the men the next morning
should go to his place, and the two
transactions should be completed to
gether. As plain as the fraud was
Mr. Abraham did bite. He had be-
forehand come to Albany, and hart
been advised by Mr. Phil Coheu not
to have anything to do with the busi
ness, but on the face of It took in the
hook. Tuesday morqlng he opener)

matter was placed iu the hands of
a detective. - But the : men of course
had.fled, and will not be caught. They
never are in such cases. Probably

horse belonging to W. L. Moore. Re
turning he came at terrific, speed, not

was nearly exhausted on reaching the
