Mr. Calender has assigned tohe bank property to the
amount Of neary'' 500 oo0 His residence, personal
property and everything that could be made available to
the corporation have been secured by the bank.
Mr. c. has not been arrested and will probably not be-
His position business has been heretofore above

which develops the fact that Mr. Calender is indebted

John Woolley, Provost Marshal General of the Mid
die Department Captain D. L. Beckwith, ASSIST
ant Commissary Of Musters for the Middle De-
partment, and five others are implicated, and
now in prison awaiting trial. The fraud was
perpetated by forging descriptive lists and in some in
stances signatures to military and other necessary
papers which genuine signatures obtained to naI
discharges The plan ngeDiousy conceived and ex-
ecuted At present not than three thou sand dollars
known TO have been thus obtained but limit can
be set to the possible extent Of the operation Colonel
