Schur man, owner of the Exchange bank of Nor- mal, which failed to open its doors last Tues- day morning, was locked up in the county jail today. Five complaints were sworn out and warrants served upon him yesterday upon charges of embezzlement. He was tried for each charge and but under bonas suitable for each. This morning a depositor who placed $3,000 in the bank on the 10th inst. caused the arrest. Schurman, feeling the aisposition on part of . his creditors to keep arresting him until his bonds gave out, refused to accept a bond in this case, and was taken to Jail. After his friends pleaded with him, he accepted bail, and late this afternoon was released. Most of the deposi- tors have agread to accept 50 cents on the dollar. The statement of assets rendered in the assignment fixes the assots at 58,000, wh(lws liabilities are between $90,000 and £100,000. The persecution of Schurman by the de- positors is turning public sympathy in his direction. Schurman’s condition is due to the fact that he was running the bank with no capital. Crazed by His Reserves. SAVANNAIL, Ga., May 19.—A special from Brunswick, Ga., snys: M. Ullman, president of the Oglethorpe National bank, committed suicide in the bank. Up to this time he was considered one of the wealthiest men in this section. Besides being president of the Oglethorpe bank, he was president of the Brunswick Brewing and Ice company, ana was a large stockholder in various enter- prises. The supposition is that Ullman had become crazed by financial trouble, and his inability to protect his friends drove him to suicide. The news spread rapidly and de- positors started a run. In a few minutes the Oglethorpe National bank closed its doors, followed almost immediately by the First National. A siight run commenced on_the Brunswick State bank, but it met all de- mands, Mayer & Ullman, wholesale grocer- ies, have closed temporarily. Rumors affect- ing the two oanks had been in_ circulation for several days, The offivers of both banks say that the claims will be paid in full. Bank examiners have been wired for, and pending their arrival nothing definite wiil be known. Whisky the Onily Weak Stock.

Omaha peoplo should realize the fact thata very clever light opera company is this week giving ex- cellent performances of the best of comic operas in this city. T'he concerted numbers for quartet in the first act of “Fatinitza" have rarely, if ever, been better rendered than they were last evening, and the setting of this sceno, picturing a itussian military post with snow falling, was surprisingly 00d. Every member of the company has a good part in *‘Fatinitza,” and each fills it well. The chorus 1s strong, pure in tone, and the iadies are decidedly good looking. All in ail, the Calhoun company gives one of the best performances of “Fatinitza" ever soen in Omaha. R T RS Knights of Pythias at the Faruam.
