Numerous hair-breadth escapes from being caught in the McCoy bauk failure are now being |ieard from, while the wise ones who abandoned the sinking ship and took their deposits with them are growing “chesty” over their wisdom.

J. J. Fry, late banker at Roselawn, is a candidate for state senator from this senatorial district, subject to the will of the senatorial convention.

Fifty years ago, we are told, Thomas McCoy, the father of Alfred McCoy of this city, was an apparently prosperous banker of New Lisbon, Ohio. His business, however was not as prosperous as it appeared, we nre told and a few years later the bank went busted and hundreds of people lost the savings of a life time. This bit of history is interesting at this time in view of the failure of the A. McCoy & Co. bank here last week, and which a great many people supposed was one of the most prosperous banking institutions in Indiana. The old saying, that all is not gold that glitters, iB again proven true.
