sible to form any correct idea of the

been stated by the officers of the late

ment is doubted; it is probable that a

The value of this piece of land i§, hovy
evep, to be measured by its products
rather than by its mere size. The fin
est cocoa beans in the world are those
of Soconusco. The quality of a costly
chocolate may be estimated by the pro
portion of these beans that enters into
its composition. While the Guayaquil
cocoa beans sell at ten to fifteen cents
a pound, and those of Caracas and the
West Indies at two or three times
fhese prices, the Soconusco often
fetches a dollar a pound, and at times
even more. Apart, therefore, from any
mere question of prestige or national
honor, it is evident that the district in
dispute has an intrinsic pecuniary value
which makes it well worth a peaceful
contest.

With all the pleasant circumstan"
ces attending the oil production abd in"
crease of business in Butler, it is sad to
see the number of staggering, drunken
men on our streets. Last Saturday
evening they could be seen iai'ing up
on the pavements in sound sleep.
They are generally the poor laborers
upon the railroad now building. In
one case we heard of one of the poor
creatures being found in the parlor
room of a family, where hejiad slipped
in, laid down and went to sleep. Is
there no remedy for thisstate of things?
Is it right or reasonable to attach all the
blame to these workmen, who, in many
cases, will drink whenever and wher
ever they can get if ? Arp they uot
persons whom the law forbids giving
liquor to ?

Another Cutting Attair.
Mr. John W. Fleming of this place
vas attacked last Friday night by
hree workmen on the railroad, and
)retty severely cut by a knife. It
seems he was on his way home, in the
iouth end of town, and shortly after
mssing the plank road bridge, fell in
vith' and had some talk with three
Swedes, railroad laborers, which result
id in his being cut on the breast or
ihoulder. As Mr. Fleming is a very
>eaceable man this is thought strange,
he more particularly as beipg done by
Swedes, who are also rated as very
•eaceable and well behaved. It is
opposed they mistook Mr. Fleming
or a police officer and thought he was
oljowipg them, this arising from the
act that he was wearing at the time
military clothes, having during the day
»een attending a meeting of soldiers
lere. One of the men however was
ntoxicated, being the one who did the
utting. He has been arrested, and is
IOW in jail. Mr. Fleming's injuries
re not considered dangerous, but
ieing a weakly and sickly man, may
online him for some time.

A CASHIER'S CRIME.
From Franklin Pa. Ind. Press. Aug. 3.
Early on Saturday morning a large
proportion of our people was surprised
and all were shocked by the intelli
gence that James X. Crafc, cashier of
the Exchange Bank for the past ten
years, was a confessed defaulter to a
large amount. The report was at
first hardly credited by many, but it
soon proved to be an ugly truth of ex
tensive proportions.
Owing to the length of time cov
ered by Craft's speculations, and the
extended nature of the Bank's corres
pondence, it was found imppossible
to ascertain even an approximately ex
act idea of the amount of the defalca
tion. Rumors were flying early Sat
urday morning which placed the
amount high in the hundreds of thou
sands. These reports were, however,
met by the statement, based on the
partial examination already made,
that the loss would not probably be
much above SOO,OOO.
The event proved that the Exchange
Bank did not need any extra strength
to meet the crisis. There was noth
ing in the nature of a run. A few
persons appeared on Saturday and
drew their deposits, but most of these
were returned as soon as it was re
menibeped that the loss, whatever it
might be, fell upon the stockholders of
the institution. The latter, of whom
there are thirty-two, collectively rep
resent a very large amount of capital,
and ail are individually liable. Fol
lowing is a list: F. W. Mitchell, Thos.
Jf. Martin, p. Boyles, Win. Gates, D.
S. Duffield, W. W. Duffield, I. M. Duf
field, H. Duffield, J. D. Hancock, Jno.
' L. Mitchell, W. Wenzel, C. Heydrick,
B. C. Stanton, R. 11. Woodburn, Rich
ard Irwin, H. D. Hulins, Jos. Bell, J.
P. Byers, Thos. Nesbit, S. Q. Stevea
son, W- S. Devore, J. W. Brady, F. D.
Kinnear, P. McGough, D. Grimm,
Wm. Woodburn, P. W. Raymond,
Wm. Brough, N. H. Payn, John Mil
ton, J. Hanna, Pavid S. Smith.
With this showing it need not be
stated that the Bank is as solid aa a
rock. It is one of the strongest insti
tutions in the State.
The manner in which Craft's defal
cations were carried on for so Jong a
time, withqut exciting suspicion, is a
subject of curious inquiry. It seems
mainly to have been done by a care
fully guarded system of false entries in
the apcouqts with other banks. The
■Exchange Bank keeps accounts with a
number of banks in the eastern cities.
The cashier would take money from
the Bank vaults, and then, to cover the
fraud, would make equivalent false en
tries in the accounts of the eastern
banks. Thus, in the Park Bank, New
York, the bank officials supposed they
had $14,000, but are informed by wire
that the balance is only $3.05. As the
investigation has progressed the pub
lie becouae convinced that Craft's man
ner of carrying ou bis nefarious work
evinces wonderful tact and brain pow?
er. Toward the last he was obliged
to carry a variety of business in his
head and keep track of and meet every
danger as it arose.
Craft's account of his defalcations, as
far as he has given any, is pretty much
the same old story which be and other
people have been reading for years.
IJe began by (jippjng in a little.
Loosing this in speculation, he took
more. He continued sending good
money after bad, with the professed
hope of retrieving. At last he &ot into
gigantic oil speculations, anc| lost by
tfye thousands. It is reported that he
investedjiargely in oil before the Cher
ry Grove excitement, and carried 300,-
000 barrels of oil from 80 cents down
to 60, thus sinking $60,000. This
may be overstated, but It ii certain
Craft was deeply and ruinously in oil.
He was also extensively engaged in
the producing business, aud likewise
had mining investments in Colorado.
Craft was an intimate friend of
State Treasurer Bai|y, having been
reared in the same town in Fayette
county, Pa. At Harrisburg it is
claimed they have receipts for $85,000
of State funds deposited by Gen. Baily
in the Exchange Bank. Only $22,000
are credited on the books of the Bank,
and the presumption io that the balance
was converted by Craft to his own use.
J. N. Craft came to Franklin about
thirteen years ago, highly endorsed,
and entered the International Bank
under Col. Bleaklev, as casbier. He
had previously been teller in the First
National Bank of Uniontown. He re
mained with Col. Bleaklev three years.
Some months after leaving his employ
he was sent for to take the cashiership
of the Exchange Bank, and held that
position for about ten years—which
was several years too many for his
own good or the good of his employers.

'OUR WILD ISDIASS,"
BY COL. R. I. DODGE.
INTRODUCED BY
GENERAL SHERMAN.
No white man is more widely
known among the Indians than is
Col. Dodge, who is always spoken of
by them ae the "Big Chief." His
new work "Our Wild Indians," on the
title page of which Gen. Sherman's
name also appears, was undertaken by
him at the urgent solicitation of many
distinguished men. It was 1101 how
ever, until GEN*. SHEHMAN offer
ed to write an INTRODUCTION to the
the work, and to give it his official
sanctio:., tLat Col. Podge consented to
undertake it. It is the first authentic
account of our wild Indians that has
been written for nearly forty years.
The author writes from the «tand
poiat of actual persoual experience,
and it is interesting to note in this
connection the exceptional opportuni
ties of observation he has enjoyed, as
will be seen from the following state
ments of facts :—Col Podge was
graduated from West point in 1848,
and was at once assigned to active
duty on the Texas frontier among
the crafty and cunning Comanches.
From that time until bis last cam
paign against the Utes, in 1880, a
period of thirty-three years, his life
has been spent in direot personal
contact with the wildest Indians of the
"Far West." In this third of a
century he has had intercourse with
thirty-four different tribes, having
fought his way foot by foot through
Indian lands over neyec
fore trodden by the foot of a white
man. His position as a high com
manding officer in the U. S. army,
and leader of many important expe
ditions against the Indians, has given
him opponqnities fqr study and ob
servation, such as have never before
fallen to the lot of a white man, and
such as no one in civil life could pos
sibly command.
In this volume of 650 pages, Co|.
Dodge aims to give a truthful and
minute account of "OUR WILD
INDIANS'' of the present day; to
vividly describe their actions, habits,
customs, religious manners, and
amusements as by them noiy
in the uncivilized regions of their
uninvaded country; to give graphic
accounts of thrilling and exciting
adventures among them ; to narrate
daring exploits and hairbreadth
escapes, not oply from his own ex
perience, but from that of other white
men, and of Indians also; and to re
cord desperate encounters, hand-to
hand combats, sudden surprises, re«
markable flefences, and heroic achieve
ments incident to frontier life. In
all of this Col. Dodge has succeeded
admirably, and he has produced in
comparably the most exhaustive and
truthful account of "Our Wild
Indians" ever written, and undeniably
one of the most facinating books of
personal daring apd romantic adven
ture ever published. IJis narrative is
spiced with many graphic accounts
of famous Scouts and Guides: of
Trappers, Frontiersmen, Squatters,
Squaw-Men, Texas Cow-Boys, Miners,
Gold Hunters, Border Ruffians and
Desperadoes, and their adventures
and wonderful acb;gvn.ents are facina
ting pen-pictures of life in our Indian
country. "Truth is stranger than
fiction," and most essentially so in
this thrilling record of Thirty-Three
Years' Experience.
Gen. Sherman truthfully says in
bis introduction:—"Yours is the first
attempt of which I have knowledge
to treat him (the Indian) as he exists
ill fact. You have had the expert
ence of a third century in absolute
contact with the various tribes of our
Indians, from the British line to
Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona,hunt
ing with them in peace and in war.
It is by far tbe best description ex
tant of the manners, customs, usages,
ceremonies, etc., of the American
as he now is. You are hereby au
thorized to use my name as authori
ty for its publication and circulation;
and I invite all persons to read this
book carefullv."
fhe book is both profusely and
magnificently illustrated. Its list of
steel-plates includes portraits of the
author, and of Gen. Crook, Gen.
Miles, Gen. Custer, Gen. Mclvenjio,
etc., and there are many superb full
page engravings on wood. But the
crowning feature of the illustrations
are the magnificent full-page Chromo
lithograph Plates. These are print
ed in fifteen colors, from ninety en
graved stones, and represent weapons,
ornaments, instruments, fac-similies qf
Indian drawings, and remarkable ob
jects of intent and curiosity too
numerous to mention. The Smith
sonian Institute at Washington is
largely indebted to Col. Dodge for
its extensive collection of Indian ob
jects, collected by him in the past
thirtv-threo years.

ination of Col. Dodge's great work,
we can truthfully say that it cora»

value and the most thrilling inter

illustrations. It is a rare treat to
