Spencer, a farm hand, in Redwood Valley to-day, killing him instantly. The tree had been felled by | such a way that it became necessary to | chop away a portion of the trunk- so | that it would fall flat. Though warned of his danger, Spencer undertook the for. each $100. Fields said he did not know of any association in the State the loans of which were greater than its securities. He did not know of any funds being used contrary to law. The Continental, of which special inquiry was made, had never guffered its securities to be mis- used to the best of his knowledge.
