Depositors of Wreck
ed Bank Riot Over
Distribution.
By Prlralf* Wire.
Chicago, Aug. 2L—To a struggling,
riotous and hysterical crowd of depos
itor* of the plundered Milwaukee Ave
nue State Bank, a cash distribution of
$500,000 wns made today.
Thousands of creditors gathered
•bout the Ptenslnnd building hours
before the doors opened, awaiting the
tlrst payment, one hundred policemen
were on hand to hold the crowd in
check. Disorder and at times fighting
attended the opening of the bank's
doors.
Many of those who had money In
the bank had neglected to bring their
affidavit blanks and were excluded
from the bank. They were driven
nearly frantic by the sight of the
money stacked on the counters and
the fear that they would not get their
•hare of It.
The first depositor to draw her share
of the SO per cent dividend was a wom
an, who drew out $370.50 out of a
total of $1.875.53 she had deposited In
the institution.
"We are old people," she said, "and
my husband, who Is over 60 years old,
fs sick and cannot* work. We have
saved all our lives In the hope that
we could hove some little comfort Just
before we died. Now 1 suppose we
will lose moat.of what we have saved
up."

hands. A flock of buxzards has taken
to the dome of the nfcw capltol as a
roosting place and are to be seen there
every evening. Almost every evening
half a dozen of them can be seen quiet
ly roosting on the dome. The commis

tol Is the proper place for buzzards to
roost, but they have been unable to de
vise any way of doing away with them.
It Is a fine of $25 In Mississippi to kill

BORROWED PLUMES
By LESLIE THOMAS.
In the corner of an otherwise empty
corridor carriage sat the Hon. Pjeter
Logram, regarding with complacent eye
the reflection In the small hand-glass
which he held before his face, and al
though his sole remaining hirsute
adornment clustered more particularly
to his head he smoothed down an
Imaginary parting carefully, giving a
grunt or two expressive of satisfaction
as he did so.
The platform without was apparent
ly deserted, and, having halted for a
brief Interval at a little-frequented sta
tion, the train was now slowly gather
ing speed.
Suddenly, however, the sound of rap
id steps and the panting of a runner
caught his ear through the open win
dow. Evidently a belated passenger
wns making one final sprint In the
effort to board the moving train. Then
nn adjacent carriage door slammed vio
lently.
"Idiot!" muttered Mr. Logram, testi
ly. "Deserved to be killed!"
He picked up a wig of thick, black
hair from n box on the seat beside
him. "Might ns well try this on, too,”
he said to himself, rumlnatlvely, set
ting It upon his head.
"All this makes one feel quite a child
again," he thought, smiling.
He brought tho glass nearer. "H’m!
• • • That seems to fit very well-
looks almost natural, in fact."
"Yes, very useful things, aren’t
they?" said a quiet voice at the door.
"Come In handy now and again."
The Honorable Peter turned abruptly
on the Intruder, an Individual attired
In a top hat and frock coat, with ob
vious—but unavailable—pretensions to
smartness. His clothing was some
what disarranged, his tie awry* His
face was red.
i beg your pardon," said the Hon
orable Peter, Icily.
Don’t mention It!" beseeched the
new-comer, airily. "Don’t mention It
at all! I wns only saying what useful
things those— By gad!" he cried In
amazement; "why. If It Isn’t ‘Daddy,’
good old ‘Daddy!’’’
Mr. Logram was somewhat taken
aback at first. Then his choler rose.
"What the”—he spluttered. "How
dare"—
"Hardly knew you*at first—with all
that black hair," said the top-hatted
gentleman, calmly. "Why, you're got
up fit to kill—absolutely regardless," he
added, admiringly. " ‘Daddy/ you're a
marvel—a perfect marvel!"
"How dare you, sir!" Mr. Logram
brought out at last. " ‘Daddy,’ Indeed!
Of nil the pieces of Impertinence—!”
The other man broke Into u roar of
laughter. "Good, bijt It won’t wash
with me, you know. But I’m all right,
>ld chap." He went Into paroxysms of
laughter. "I'm one o’ the boys, I am.
Name o’ Carshott—Jimmy Carshott.
They’ve often told me about you down
at the club. Besides, you’re a public
character, you are, you know. They’ve
got a copy of your ’ffhysog’ at every
big police station In England, I should
think!"
“Do you mean to imply?"—
"Course they have! You know that
as well as I do,” said Mr. Carshott,
sharply. "Needn’t try to ‘come’ It over
me, though, ’cause- it won’t wash.'
"But look here," Mr. Logram
postulated, "I’m not the man—the—
er—friend of yours that you suppose.”
"Oh, cheese It!" said. Jimmy Car
shott, rudely. "Be sensible, do! To
come to business, now. Have you got
such a thing ns another ’o them wigs
and a change ’o duds for me. If so, I’ll
hire ’em from you for the day."
"I have not!" said the Honorable
Peter, firmly.
"Tell you, why,” Mr. Carshott con
tinued. unmoved, "I had two of ’em
from Scotland Yard on my track at tho
last station and only managed to catch
this train and get away from ’em by
the skin of my teeth. They’re sure to
wire on, too, you know, and tilings'll
look rather awkward for me at the next
stop."
"That’s not for half an hour," Mr.
Logram reminded him.
"Oh, good egg!" commented his
companion, cheerfully. "May be able
to do a bit of a change In that time.
Lucky thing, rather, me hanging on to
this train."
The Honorable Peter shook his head
helplessly. He was past speech.
"Oh, well,” said the top-hatted gen
tleman, sharply, "If you’ve nothing to
suggest—" He shrugged his shoulders.
"By the way,” he added, suddenly, "for
got to mention it before—chaps at the
club were talking about It the other
night. Hard luck on you, I call It! Your
wife’s on your track again."
"My what?" asked Mr. Logram,
sharply.
"Your wife," repeated his companion,
firmly. "Your first—the Newcastle
one."
"But you’re In error, my good sir.
am unmarried," said Mr. Logram,
fiercely.
Jimmy Carshott lifted a reproving
finger.
"Oh, you naughty old man!" he re
marked, playfully. "Mean to say that
last one at Hheffield—O’oh! Well, she's
after you, anyway. Better be care
ful."
The Honorable Peter rose hastily and
began to collect his luggage. "I think
It would be better," he said frigidly,
"If 1 were to change Into another com
partment."
"Oh! Don’t want to get mixed up
with me when the ‘tees’ look In, eh? I
quite understand, p’r'aps? l shan't In
terfere with you. By-by."
Mr. Logram moved off toward the
adjoining compartment. But It was
full, and ns he came to the end one he
caught sight of a familiar face through
the glass.
"Lady Parkinton!" he stammered,
hurriedly. "Lady Parkinton and her
girls! What Infernal luck! Now, what
I to do? I must get rid of this”—
he raised n hand to his head—"some
how, I can’t very well take it off In the
corridor, either. If any on6 should
see me • • • and besides !"
Disconsolately, he wandered back to
his former carriage. Mr. Carshott
looked up as he entered.
"Hullo!—back again?" he remarked,
pleasantly. "Here, I say,” he inter
jected hastily, "don’t be an idiot now!

Keep that wig on or you’ll be recog
nized as sure as eggs. As It Is, you
may get through all right. I know
they want you for that Liverpool af
fair.”
Presently a. slackening of speed her
alded their arrival at the next station.
Mr. Carshott withdrew his head from
the window.
“Be careful not to say anything that
will give me away,** he said, beseech
ingly.
And he deliberately set himself to
crawl under the seat.
The train stopped. An Inspector am
two constables opened the door ab
ruptly. The sound almost awakened
the Honorable Peter Logram, for he
grunted and shifted his position
slightly.
“Beg pardon, sir.” The Inspectors
tone, as he tapped the sleeper on the
shoulder was distinctly apologetic.
“Haven't seen a chap In a top hat and
frock coat, small black mustache and
dark complexion, I s'pose?”
Mr. Logram opened his eyes lazily.
Eh! Have I seeh what?” He waxed
Indignant. “How dare you come here
disturbing people like this! Can’t you
attend to your own bustnes without iny
he, *Ail right, sir; all right! Don’t you
worry*. If you’ve been asleep, of course
• • • “ The two constables follow
ed the inspector In. , „ «
Rough hands presently dragged Jim
my Carshott, dusty and disconsolate,
Into the light of day. .
Mr. Logram watched the prisoner
descend, with hls escort, to the plat
form. His curiosity even led Mm, im
prudently enough, to thrust hls head
out of the window.
“Come along, 811m Jim, said one
of the constables, almost rudely. ' >V on-
der you didn’t try on your games witn
that gent In your carriage. Struck
by a sudden brilliant Idea, he turne
to the Honorable Petir: "Dldnt lose
anything while you were asleep, *

. "No,” said Mr. Logram.
Turning abruptly, he caught the in
spector’s eye. The latter was stnrim?
at him with a gaze of fixed Intensity
Hls face bore a puzzled expression, as
If he were trying to recall some rati

With a violent effort he endeavored
to board a train, but hls avoirdupois
was against him, and It was moving
quickly by now. Gradually he was leu
behind.
Mr. Logram groaned; then set him
self to adopt drastic measures to coun
teract this, the latest development-
With considerable trouble he packed
hls thick traveling overcoat Into a
quite Inadequate space, and donned in
Its stead a light-colored dust-coat,
which he drew from one of hls bags.
"Wish I’d never undertaken to get
these blessed wigs. Private theatrical
are a beastly nuisance.”
But on arriving at the next station,
and noticing the careful preparations
made for hls reception, the humorous
side of the affair came uppermost in
his thoughts. It was with a sense or
pleasurable excitement that he passed
successfully through the suspicious oi-
tlctats who waited for ‘Daddy’ Wilson,
in expectation of an epoch-making
capture.
"Give me a few sticks of gr*®**
paint, or whatever they call It,
Jove!" said the Hon. Peter Logram
to himself triumphantly, "and let my
hair grow a bit longer, and I back my
self to beat that chap Irving at hl» own
