By Prlrate Leased Wire.
Seattle, Wash., June 26.—The case of
George Mitchell, the youthful slgyer of
Edmund Ureffltld, and the avenger of
the wrongs done his two sisters ,by the
•holy roller" prophet, was called for
trial today. No criminal case In many
years has attracted so much attention
throughout this section as that of
young Mitchell, and the trial will be
followed with Intense Interest. The
accused youth haa hosts of sympa
thisers In Portland, Corvallis ana other
Oregon points, where the people were
acquainted with the odious practices
ami teachings of Creffield, and a sub
stantial fund has been raised for
Mitchell's defense.
The killing of "Apostle Joshua,”
Creffield called himself, occurred on
the streets of Seattle some two months
ago.
•Tvs got my man. Am In Jail." was
the unique telegram the young mur
derer sent to his father at Corvallis.
"I came here from Portland for the
purpose of killing Cremeld," Mitchell
explained after his arrest. "I saw him
ami his wife on First avenue nnd shot
the man. That'a nil there la to It. He
ruined my two alatera, and I took hla
life."

FOURTH NATIONAL
OPENS SAVINGS DEPT,
For the purpose of Introducing to the
rltlicns of Atlsnta the many advant
age of the C. O. Hums' saving aystem,
which on Monday morning was Intro
duced for the llrst time through the
ngency of the Fourth National Bank,
tlftcen young men from New Haven,
Conn, students of Tale University, ere
canvassing all sections of the city and
placing among the working people and
tluwe who dealrc to acquire the savings
habit, neat little pocket banks for the
purpose of assisting them In their de-
** Thsse little banks which are being
placed are marvels of simple Ingenu
ity, being of just the right site for the
v**t pixjbt end yet being of sufficient
elio to held a surprisingly large amount
of smell change. The Idea of the
r l.eme la to encourage holders of the
lianka to place therein their email
• hanga each day and. at. the .end of the.
v« eek or the month take them to the
Fourth National Bank and have the
contents deposited to their credit. As
nobody hut the hank offlclala have the
k.-v to the little banks, the spending of
the money after once being put In Is
impossible.
The savings department of the
Fourth National Bank la in the way of
an Innovation, having never before
been In uae at that Institution. Presl-
den* English Is a Arm believer In the
stematlc saving of money and his
Interest In the working classes and
the young people In the saving and
Peking of money Is shown In the new
ib i art men t added to the bank.
For the accommodation of the d«-
r -Itors In the savings department a
n indow baa been opened near the en
trance to the bank and here all bual-
nesg of this department will be trans
acted. Interest at the rate of 2 per
cent, compounded semi-annually, will
b- paid on all deposits, and tbe fact
that It Is a national Institution makes
Iib-olutely no dsngerous risks for the
depositor to take.
It Is expected that the savings de
partment of the Fourth National Bank
will soon become one of the most Im
portant branches of the big business
d r.e by tbe corporation.
Unconquered by death, Taarab still
reigns paramount over all other cwpra.
Mascot supreme during hla four years
of residence on this earth, no less a
sponsor for good luck Is he In the
whereafter of Goatland, and as the
greatest of departed goats, he has ac-
ceptsd 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 much ceremony Taarab waa
burled Sunday morning at 10 o’clock at
the No. 7 engine house In West End.
Even though hla head had been de
prived of him, Taarab was given more
honor In the last rites over his 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 lust be
cause It was a goat'a funeral.
At 10:10 o'clock taps was sounded
over the grave of headless Taarab.
Taarab's head was delivered to Bar
clay A Brandon, who prepared It for
E reservation, and who will act as
eeper for ths head when It attends the
coming convention of undertakers.
Is fitting that this should be the first
act of moscotlng after his death. I
might be said, too, that It was thor
oughly consistent that Taarab, If I
was necessary for him to leave the en
glne houee for a land of never-ending
fire hose and baseballs, to depart on
the day of the month known aa "23.”
Taarab II Is now looming In sight.
He Is residing with Ernest Gilbert
Bentley at 111 Hill street. Chief Joy
ner received a letter Monday morning
from Ernest, who offers to donate hie
pet to the fire department!
Taarab, as all aristocratic goats are,
was born on ths Atlanta dumping
ground. John Jentxen, of the sanitary
department of Atlanta, has assured
Chief Joyner that the fire department
should have another goat from that
same stock.
■Several other goats have bein of
fered 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 goat to the Atlanta fire depart
ment, the Atlanta baseball team, the
Shrfners and grand parade leader must
also lack the falling of most goats, as
Taarab did. ,
