I lous wild-cat. Ho has in circulation about
I $300,000, most of it secured by Missouri
Raihoad Bonds. The Bonds aro worth
about 70 cents on (he dollar, but our peo

ey at par! That too, when such a place
as Conterelle is not to be found in the Uni
ted States—consequently bill-holders have
no possible chance for ever getting their
money. Lots of other Banks, purporting
to be Wisconsin, are .similarly situated—
nowhere. Great is Proudfit!
