CHILDREN BURY PLAY MATE ALIVE. MANSFIELD, 0., Aug. 9.By playing "burying" Raymond Woodward, aged 3, and Howard Straub, aged 4, caused the death of 6-year-old Corman Stimens, and then, in childish glee, ran away and told what they had done. The three children. playing in a sandbank, conceived the idea of partly burying each other, and dug a hole for the purpose. The Stimens lad fell into the hope while walking around It. His playmates threw sand in upon him. His efforts to get out only served to draw more sand in upon him. Finally, when they could no longer see him or hear his cries, the two ran across the street, where some men were working, and said: "He's dead now. We've buried him." A physician worked over the child for hours, but he was beyond aid, and died. The lads who caused the doath of their playmate are still unable to realize what they have done.

A DENVER BANK CLOSED. Assignee Takes Charge of the Western -Imboden's Manipulations. DENVER, Col.; Aug. 9.-Following a heavy run upon the Denver Savings Bank, which began yesterday, the Western Bank, which has never been considered strong, was placed in the hands of an assignee this morning and its doors were closed. The bank had deposits of about $6,000,000 on July 4, owed State banks $60,000 and claimed resources of $816,000. Its attorneys say it was closed for the protection of itself and its depositors, but no statement regarding its solvency has been made by them or the assignee. Stock of both the Western and the Denver savings banks has recently been manipulated by Col. Leonard A. Imboden, who was convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary in Kansas City some years ago for forgery in an effort to raise money to save a bank he controlled then from collapse. He escaped punishment by a legal technicality and has since been operating in the Southwest.
