NO SHEENY FOR CASHIER.
Unuj t Aetlon of the Directors Cause a
Gigntle Run on an Albany Rank.
ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. S0.-There was
an exciting time at the Albany County
bank Monday afternoon. Cashier John
Templeton died a short time ago and
Monday the directors met to elect his
successor. It was expected that David
8. Mann, the teller, who has been in the
bank for twenty years, would be pro
moted. But there was a hitch in the
programme, and during the stormy ses
sion of the board one of the directors is
credited with saying that they
Did Not Want Any "Sheeny"
as the head of their bank. When Mr.
Mann heard this he resigned at once,
and two of the directors, one of whom
was Dudley Farlin, also tendered their
reignaton, saying they could not afford
to be connected with an institution
where such ideas prevailed. The direc
tors then selected William N. Se.,ders, a
well known business man as cashier.
No sooner was their action known on the
street and the alleged insult to the race
noised abroad than the Jewish custom.
ersof the bank began to withdraw their
deposits. Within an hour
A Crowd of Angry Men
representing some of the largest houses
in the city and the bank's best customn
ers, illed the space in front of the desk,
demanding that their accounts be closed
at once. One ulan received a certified
check for nearly $200,000, and it is said
that nearly $00,000 was withdrawn.
The proceedings will probably be ocontin
ued,but the bank's officers sy they can
stand it and are satisfied with their
choice. The matter is the leading sub
ject of conversation in town.
A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Olsurwater, Kan,, the SBone of a Brntal
and Cowardly Murder.
WIcarrA, Kan., Jan. 30.-Dudley
Murphy, a leading citizen of Clearwater,
200 miles west, was shot in the back by
Dr. Straum, a prominent physician of
the town. Murphy was coming out of a
drug store and Straum was concealed in
a stairway watching for him. As Mur
phy had turned to walk down the street
itraum shot him in the back with a
Winchester. Murphy fell and Straum
reloaded and shot him in the back of the
neck. He then pulled a revolver and
shot the dying man four times, and
snapped the other cartridge in his re
volver. Murphy was picked up dead
and Straumbastened to the jaii and gave
himself over to the sheriff for protection.
A lynching is feared. Murphy just re
returned from Oklahoma, and n his ab
sense of three weeks, it is said, intimate
relations sprang up between Mrs.Murphy
and the doctor. Straum claims that he
heard Murphy was going to kill him and
hence his action. Murphy's friends say
that he knew nothing ofit. Straum has
a wife and two children.
