Jefferson Or,-';. Feb. , 14. Bdltor
Statesman: It has been an open se
cret here for several days that the
wide-awake town of Jefferson Is soon
to have Opened In its midst a. banking
establishment, which fact makes, the
business people of this place feel espe
cially Jubilant, as If means that much
other business will follow as a, result.
Mr. J. A. Aupperle of the Jefferson
flouring mills. Is one; of the prime mov
ers In the matter, and will have associ
ated with him Mr. K W. liasardv who
will act aa cashier 'of the bank. : Mr.
Hazard spent several weeks here, and
Anally decided to cast his fortunes with
Marion county. He has canvassed all
the business men and most of the
farmers round about, all of whom have
agreed to support the bank with theii
good will and patronage.
i Mr. Haxard was for many-years cash-
ler of an Iowa bank, where he was
most successful, and made a good rec
ord as a straight business man. Some
local capital baa been secured to take
an interest Iik the enterprise, and it Is
expected that a good business wilt be
worked up. All farmers selling wheat
and other produce here will appreciate
being able to get their cash Instead of
checks and orders as In the past, and
It Is thought this fact will be a con
siderable advantage to all the business
Interests of the place, t The capital
stock will probably be 320,000 to begin
with, but thjs may be Increased aa the

had wandered around until about '
o'clock, when he struck the road lead

to face with' Henry .Cooke, brother ot
Sheriff Cooke, of Clackamas county.
and realising the futility of! running
gave up without a struggle. Deputy
Sheriff Thielsen, of Portland, was with
in a quarter of. A mile, watching the

Mr. Thlelsen's hands. It seems Jack
son did not hear the officer coming un
til they were face to face.. He under
took to pass Cooke, hoping to be taken
for an ordinary pedestrian. As he ap
proached the officer halted him and or
dered him to hold out bis hands. The
negro complied, and there were the
steel bracelets, and Jackson s freedom
had again 'vanished. 'In the meantime
men had been stationed on all ' the
roads, and the escape could not have
gotten away by any of them.
