Yankton Savings Bank Fails. YANKTON, S. D., Nov. 22.-(Special Telegram.)-The defalcation of County Treasurer A. W. Peterson was the immediate cause of a run on the Yankton Savings bank the last three days which forced it to close its doors this afternoon. As soon as Mr. Peterson's disappearance became generally known, depositors became uneasy, as it was known the county had a good deal of its money deposited in the bany and they began drawing tehir money, which was promptly paid up to this afternoon, when the supply was exhausted. The assete of the bank are $30,000, with $20,000 liabilities all told. It is thought by some that the bank may be able to resume in a short time. No uneasiness is felt in regard to the other banks of the city. Both national banks are known to have had more money on hand than they could loan and are considered sound. The Board of County Commissioners has finally ascertained the total shortage of Treasurer Peterson to be $22,000, $8,000 being in the savings bank just failed. It will institute suit against Peterson and his bondsmen to recover the amount.

Commissioners Try to Daaw Public Moneys but Minn Historical Soviety d. IOWA INDIANS TROUBLESOME Sax and Fox Reds Threaten Residents of Tama City and Toledo. Detention of One of the Tribe In a Training School Is the Cause. YANKTON, S. D., Nov. 23. -The defalcation and disappearance of County Treasurer A. W. Peterson has caused considerable excitement in this city in the last few days. The board of county commissioners has been engaged examining his books and accounts and they found a shortage of $14,000, with $8,000 deposited in the Yankton Savings bank. This they endeavored to draw out, but their request was refused on the ground that Treasurer Peterson or some duly appointed treasurer should sign checks. This cannot be done now, as the bank was forced to close its doors after withstanding a three days' run. Suit will at once be instituted by the commissioners against Peterson and his bondsmen to recover a total shortage of $22,000. As the savings bank was the chief depository for the treasurer's office wild rumors gained circulation stating the treasurer's defalcation had weakened the bank and the run was the result.

Yankton county went republican, if we remember correctly. Now the treasurer of that county has "gone republican," too, and the county is now just $30,000 shy. The defalcation caused a run on the Yankton Savings Bank and busted the institution. Everything seems to be strongly republican over that way.

He jumped from the ferryboat Alonzo Church while crossing the Mississippi this morning. A dispatch from Yankton states that Peterson was an embezzler and had fled from that city on Nov. 16. which would furnish an incentive for suicide. He was observed by deckhands to make the plunge. As soon as the body reappeared it was grappled and dragged ashore. but life was extinct. From papers in his pockets he was easily identified.

DAKOTA REPORTS. Compiler Tilton of Vermillion Adds to Their Value. Horace G. Tilton of Vermillion has brought out a second supplement to his index digest of the reported decisions of the supreme courts of Dakota Territory and of North and South Dakota, covering all opinions filed up to April 1, 1900. With this supplement he has included a table of all the cases digested in the series. and binds the original diegst and two supplements in one convenient volume of about 1,100 pages. Peter Honnenger of Romona met with a peculiar accident. He occasionally walks in his sleep, and, on the night in question got out of bed and must have made the movement with considerable force, for he went through a large glass and then ran some distance before he was noticed and finally caught by Robert Sullivan. He was still asleep when caught, though his ankle was 80 badly cut by the broken glass as to require several stitches. Receiver Edgerton, of the Yankton Savings Bank, which was wrecked last December by the defalcation of County Treasurer Pederson, has declared a 20 per cent payment. As all the real estate of the bank is still unsold, the defunct bank bids fair to make at least a 50 per cent payment to all creditors.
