Seattle, Wash., June 25.—The ease of
George Mitchell, the youthful alayer of
Edmund Crelfleld, and the avenger of
Knt wrongs done his two sisters by the
"holy roller" prophet, was called for
trial today. No criminal case In many
years has attracted ao much attention
throughout thla section as that of
young Mitchell, and the trial will be
followed with Intense Interset. The
m oused youth has hosts of sympa
thizers In Portland, Corvallis and other
Oregon points, where the people were
a. qualnted with the odious practices
ami teachings of Crelfleld, and a sub
normal fund has been raised for
Mitchell's defense.
The killing of "Apostle Joshua,"
Crelfleld called himself, occurred on
the streets of Seattle some two months
ago.
•'l'Os got my man. Am In Jail/' was
the unique telegram the young mur
derer sent to hie father at Corvallis.
"I came here frum Portland for the
purpose of killing Creftteld," Mitchell
explained after his arrest. "I saw him
and his wlfb on First avanue and shot
the man. That's all there Is to It. He
ruined my two slaters, and I took hts
life."

FOURTH NATIONAL
OPENS SAVINGS DEPT,
For the purpose of Introducing to the
cltlxena of Atlanta the many advant
ages of the C, O. Burns' saving system,
ivhlcti on Monday morning was Intro
duced for the drat- time through tha
agency of Ihe Fourth National Bank,
fifteen young men from New Haven,
I .inn., students of Yale University, are
i unvasslng all sections of Ihe city and
piecing among the working people and
those who desire to acquire the savings
habit,' neat little pocket banks for the
purimse of assisting them In their de
sires.
These little banks which art being
I laced are marvels of simple Ingenu
ity, being of just the right slse for the
\ < »t pocket and yet being of sufficient
slxe to hold n surprisingly large amount
of smalt change. The Idea of the
- heme ts to encourage holders of the
l. inks to place therein Ihrlr small
. hange each day and at the en4.qt.tht
x\eek or the month take them to the
Fourth' National Bank and have the
contents deposited to their credit. As
n .body but the bank omrtala have the
key to the little banks, the spending of
the money after once being put In Is
impossible.
The savings department of the
l mrih National Bank ts In the way of
an Innovation, having never before
boan In use at that institution. Presl-
E dent English Is a firm believer In the
systematic saving of money and hts
t interest In the working classes and
in. young people In Ihe suvlng end
t anking of money Is shown In the new
d.-liartment added to the bank.
l'ur the accommodation of the de
positors In the savings department a
window has been opened near the an-
£ trance to the bank and her# all busi
ness of this department will be trane-
n ted. Interest at the rate of J per
rent, compounded semi-annually, will
ts. paid on all deposits, and the fart
ttt Is a national Institution makes
| ..nsolutely no dangerous risks for the
KS depositor to take.
It ts expected that the savings de-
J • partment of the Fourth National Bank
mill soon become one of the most Im
portant branches of the big business
dune by the corporation.

Unconquered by death, Yaarab still
reigns paramount over all other capra.
Mascot supreme during his four years
of residence on this earth, no less a
sponsor for good luck Is he In the
whereafter of Boatload, and aa the
greatest of departed goats, he has ac
cepted the title of official mascot of the
undertakers of Atlanta and as such
his head will accompany the Atlanta
delegation to the coming convention In
Macon.
With tnutn ceremony Yaarab was
buried Sunday morning at 10 o’clock at
the No. 7 engine house In West End.
Even though his head had been de
prived of him, Yaarab was given more
honor In the last rites over hts body
than even the two-headed goats that
contributed to the fame of P. T. Bar-
num: There were fifteen members of
the fire department present at the fu
neral, as well as fifty or more rank
outsiders, who seemed to think them
selves privileges to butt In Just bee
cause It was a goat’s funeral.
At 10:10 o'clock taps was sounded
over the grave of headless Ysarab.
Yaarab's head was delivered to Bar
clay * Brandon, who prepared It for
preservation, and who will act as
keeper for the head when It attends the
coming convention of undertakers.
Is fitting that thla should be Ihe first
act nf mascotlng after hts death. If
might be said, too,' that It was thor.
.Highly consistent that Yaarab, If I
was necessary for him to leave the en
glne house for s land of never-ending
fire hose and baseballs, to depart on
the day of the month known as "21."
Yaarab II ts now looming In sight.
He Is residing with Ernest Gilbert
Bentley at 112 Hill street. Chief Joy
ner received a letter Monday morning
from Ernest, who ofTers to donate his
pet to the fire department.
Yaarab, as all aristocratic goats are,
was boro on the Atlanta dumping
ground. John Jentsen, of the sanitary
department of Atlanta, haa asaured
Chief Joyner that the fire department
should have another goat from that
Mune stock.
Several other goats have been of.
fared to the fire department, but none
has been accepted as yet. In this con
nection It might be mentioned that
applicants for the position of official
billy gnat to tht Atlanta firs depart
ment, the Atlanta baseball team, the
Shriners and grand parade leader must
also lack tha falling of most goats, ts
Yaarab did.

said Mrs. Alice C. Klnan named her
slayer.
The end was nssr, but she could talk
and was able to think. The detectives
have bad their own reasons for circu
lating the report that she was uncon
scious from the moment the assassin
failed her.
Perhaps they have hesitated to dll'
does their most Important evidence
until corroborative circumstances

Ing woman.

from the beginning would fall.

have been working to complete a chain
ot evidence against one person who
thsy ore certain Is the guilty one.
The program for today Included the
bringing of Mrs. Stenton and Lawyer
Burton W. Olbson face to facie at the
coroner'* Inquest.
One part ot Mrs. Stenton's testimony
upon which the coroner desires Yurther
enlightenment relates to her anaweritu
a question about the visitors the fam
ily were In the habit of receiving at
night.
She sold: "Mr. Olbson was In ths
habit of coming to see us at night.
Afire expected him and thought It was
him who rang the bell when she went
to the door to answer lb"
Startling new evidence, brought to
tht today, caused Coroner MacDon-
d and Captain Price to put over the
continuation ot the preliminary hear
ing until tomorrow. It Is the purpose
of the officials to thoroughly Investi
gate these newly ascertained facts In
order that they may be used In the
further examination of the old woman.
