subscribed. Only 1200,000 (or 50 per
cent.) was paid in, and the stockholders
then ordered that paid up stock be
issued and no more be paid. When the
bank failed, its creditors represented by
Judge Bleckley and Hopkins and Glenn
sued the stockholders for the 50 per
cent, of subscriptions still due. Many
of the stockholders, Governor Brown
among others, bought up claims of de
positors at a low price, and hold them
as offsets agiinst these unpaid subscrip
tions. Mr Ellis now decides that they
aie liable for the 50 per cent, unpaid,
and hints that the law will not sustain
the settlement made by buying up de
positors claims at a discount. If the
decision stands, and the $200,000 is
collected, it will pay up all claims of
the broken bank. It will be appealed,
however. The Constitution prin.s the
decision in full.

Utb inst,, says; “Ht-nry Walker, the
revenue officer who was shot in the
back by a man named Farfev, is
dead. The murder wtis one of the
most oo’d blooded on record. Walker
found Farley near bis still bouse 1 yin j

Before Walker could dodge, and as

tired, sending a load of bu kuhot
through poor Walker s side and hack.
A party of citizens at once sought the
capture of the desperado, who was
found in a thicket with throe loaded
