Man attempts drowning worry over bank funds ends in arrest
Anton Seme, a laborer, twice withdraws savings from First National and loses his nerve. He tries to drown his anxiety with liquor on a north end bridge, falls in, is rescued by two bystanders, and is taken to the station. An envelope with 695 dollars is found as he pleads to be released to restore the money in the bank.
