Denver, Colorado, Aug. 24—Since
the appointment of the Keceiver for
the Denver Savings bank, the al-
ledged looting of said bank becomts
more apparent. Perfectly worthies*
paper apparently given byOklahoma,.
Indian territory and Texas parties
looms up to the tune of Wi5t>,748.48,
with an apparent shortage, not ac-
counted for, amounting to about
$100,000 more. Warrants were sworn
out for the arrest of J. A. Hill, P. P.
Jones, Wm. Harth, John B. Parish,
Thomas Keiley, C F. Potter and C.
B Wilfey, Tuei-day morninj last.
Most of the defendent*have been ar-
rested. J. A. Hill was found at South
McAllestrr, I. T. and placed under
arrest and officers of thiw city are en-
route to South McAlester to take
charge of .he prisoner wlio will i e ar-
raigned with the othejs as soon all
the alledgcd consperitutm are piaced
under arrest.
Oklahoma plays quite a hand in
tnis very apparent bank robbery as
follows:—

These amounts are all listed in tne
a.legation, calling for a receiver, a
worthless.
The Denver Clearance Association
composed of bankers have placed up
these securities and have heard the
brand and fraud on the same.
The receiver of the bank has in-
formation from Eastern banks that
the amounts on the books of the Den-
ver Savings showing a certain indebt-
cdne-s against them are entirely
erroneous and untrue. The people of
of Denver are iinanamous in the opinion
that the Imboden bank looters should

The recent news that the D. E. & G.
will be running trains intw Denver
within a year and that the line is to
form a most important connection
between two great trunk lines, one in
the north and one in the south, cau
not but add material interest to the
operations of that road in this city
In fact if Enid people could read the
columns and columns of new* and
editorials now being printed in the
Oklahoma City papers they wouM be
lead to believe that just at present
the most important road on the con-
tinent is the Denver, Enid and GuM.
Oklahoma City begins to realize that
Enid has the start of her on railroad*
and is desperately anxious to secure:,
the D. E, & G. there; but the chances!
are against her The road will pr "-
bablv be built from Guthrie southeast.-
At best Oklahoma City can only heps
for a branch line.
Now, as the cuirt housP has been
located in the exact center oi the
square, the plans of the euiiding
should be made to suit the .oc. ilcn
with an eye to beautifying the p,rk.
The building shuu d be a four en-
trance affair, two wide east and we^t
entrance* as well as north and south
entrances somewhat narrower than
the main entrances. Wide wals*
should be m 'ie to interne it the -tone

sary to remove the street crossings
on Grand avemoe, opposite Tbomp-
son's Racket store, or the onaoa In-
depe-i dence avenoie opposite; let cir-

No Bh0ws will be allowed open on the I be prosecuted to a home in

Hestltime ever seen in Knld is expect-

The Brundage Fisher amusement

found at the present depth.. The
work of building the wall will negin
today and when it has. been liaished
to tbe present depth, excavating will
be resumed below the wall to a depth
of forty feet, ma vsall settling down
as the excavation proceeds and being
built from the top. It is expected
that this basin will provide an ade-
quate supply of water for all uses.
Aboye the basin, and at a heignth
of sixty feet above ground, will be
reeled a 30,000.. barrel steei water
tank. This will furnish tireiprotection
to the shops.
The old steel plant building, which
is of very large dimensions, bas been
entirely remodled and provides a
a splendid structure for the shop
work. Skilled laborers are here em-
ployed in the various lines of repair
and construction work. Anenglne,
a tender and a box car were being
1 remodeled, painted and repaired at
the time of the reporter's visit, and
many kinds of tools were being pre-
pared for use, An engine pit laii;e
enough to accommodate two engines | prises,
at once nas been constuicted in the
north end of the building. The shops
are interesting on account of recent
extensions and additions.
The plans have been lalu oil a big
scale, One Is strongly Impressed that
at no fai distant future dale there
will be an army Of men employed In
ih s work many times the number at
work there today And even now
j when the six o'clock whistle blew the
employees formed into a line which
extended all the way r >m the shops

that the city is uow beginning to re -

early struggles.
Mulhall, Okla.,, Aug. 12—J .A. Hill,
president o'rtihe Denver Saving Bank

by FW. E. E. McConeby. He the® at-
tended a business college at i^iuiacy,
III., where he became an expert pen-
man, and returned home impressed
with the idea that lie was a bank ex-
pert, and at one time hoped to be ap-
pointed bank commissioner of Okla-

He believed that he was a cleve
politician and managed the campaign
of Frank Kincaid, for nomination as

Kincaid was badly defeated.
Leonard Imboden, whose banking
enterprises are known to many Okla-

Yesterday an iiaid man went) to
Oklahoma City aad consulted Ai. H |
tjta-sen on this same matter lu has
been known lor a long time that Mr, j
.Classen purposed trying to secure
| the Enid franchise if he could, in fO to
! advantage, kits intentions aow are
| not fully knc.«n but it isquiSi; proba-
| ble that if given an opportunity
! he will make tbe city a ps-oposition.
With these and several others in
the Held it would be very change if J
the council rufched through so impor-
tant a matter as this is without fJ'-
thtr consideration and an equal op-
portunity to ail t i benefit the city.
It is. really unnecessary for lb*
Wayk to say that it will always give
a home organization the preference,
all matters considered, but it is op'
posed to rushing a matter through the
council before tht members thereoi
are fully posted in the premise!
The light pipe deal was rushe
through too hurriedly, much to I'm
disadvantage of the city. The coui
c il should post themselves in thi
street car franchise matter befnn
taking a decisive action.
