Treasury Upholds Loss on Tolley Bank Fire Note Issue
The Treasury Department rejected Senator McCumber's request to relieve Tolley National Bank of a 300 loss from destroyed new notes after a fire at the express office. Officials require positive proof the notes were destroyed and will issue replacements if express liability is proven in court. The decision highlights Treasury caution in safeguarding national finances amid the case. Wheat inflows to Bowbells outpaced all prior weeks, with 12 to 18 loads daily. Jim Johnson pleads guilty to petit larceny, receiving 10 dollars and costs or 80 days’ jail after authorities linked him to stealing an overcoat from Warren Heath.
