Novel Kansas bank loss as ashes replace four thousand five hundred
A Topeka bank reports a farmer’s $4500 in cash ruined when a prairie storm drove him to hide money in a wagon stove. His wife and son, unaware, used the oven for breakfast, reducing the cash to ashes. The incident complicates the bank’s claims as many bills hailed from various banks. The note discloses other items: a Massachusetts clergyman spared trial over a sermon about a reservoir, and a father’s quip about a Bible hitting his son.
