Mr. Makeever was his own banker, and kept his available cash at his own bank. How much was there is a matter entirely of speculation and the public will probably never find out. It is the general belief, however, that he had a vast amount there and various estimates, but all without any substantial foundation, place the amount of money there and various estimates, but all without any substantial foundation, place the amount of cash any place from $20,000 to $200,000.

Prison Binder Twine Factory Running Overtime to Fill Orders.

The board of trustees of the state prison has reported to the governor the recent purchase of a sufficient quantity of sisal to keep the binder twine plant, at the prison going for another year at least. The purchase was made at such a price as to enable the product to be sold at the comparatively low price whiebi has formerly been charged for the twine. The report further sets forth that the factory is now working overtime to fill orders, with little likelihood of being able to supply the demand for the coming season, f “The harvester trust,” stfld the governor, "is still circulating the report that the prison twine plant has closed down, to remain closed indefinitely. The report is fals<j and unfounded. The plant will continue to run as long as material can be purchased out of which to manufacture binder twine. The grade of twine will be kept up to its present standard, while the price will be kept down.”
