went south and in the course of
time establishe the above named
b.uk. lie engaged in various
speculations, Confederate sccuri-
ties among others, during the re-
mainder of the war, many of
which were attended with large
gains to himself, so that at one
time he Vas said to have amassed
"a fortune, and was reputed to be
very wealthy. The Peoples Bank
is known 10 have been in an I'M
healthy condition for some time
past, and its final collapse was
looked upon as only a question of
time. For reasons best known TO
himself, Mr.. Wick failed to reveal
the true condition of affairs, SO that
no action, Though we do not
know that any was possible was
taken 10 prevent the catastrophe.
The deficits in the Treasury as
previously stated amount to $751;
600, divided as follows, Spring
field township, $4,000. Spring
field City $4,000. City School
Board $4,000. The City and
the School Board have no bonds.
lOi this deficit 100000 were sunk
when the Nashville Bank went
down. The remaining $4,000
must be accounted for in other
ways. AS soon as the defalcation
was made known, the County
Commissioners took possession of
the Treasury. They found in the
vault 100000 in money and ST.
600 in securities, which amount
covers, without any surplus, the
money belonging to the county,
and for this amount receipts were
exchanged with Mr.. Wick by the
new Treasurer. When Mr..
Wick took possession of the Office
he gave township and county
bonds, the former for $4,000
the latter for $4,000. The
bondsrneR on the county bond
were Col. Harry Vinal, Joseph
Cathcart, II. S. Williamson, J. W.
Gum, Geo. W. Turne-, Henry
Oxtoby, Henry Stickney, Perry
Stewart, N. S. Conway and Smith
Macarthur. The bondsmen on the
township bond were Warren
Wright, j. w. Coles and J. W.
Gum. The gentlemen on the
county bond are all responsible and
amply able to make good the loss
should the courts decide them to
be liable.
Last evening a meeting was
held conformity by the City Coun-
Gil and the School Board, at which
resolutions were adopted demand
ing their pro rata share of the
funds remaining in the comfy
Treasury, and that the Treasurer
make no disbursements until the
legal question therein involved
WAS settled.
1t is proper to state here that
at the last examination of the
Treasury made according to the
requirements of the law by VIM.
C. Frye and others, the county
fund was all right, but no exam
nation having been made into the
condition of the other funds the
defalcation may have existed, but
of course was not detected.
The defaulting Treasurer, Mr..
Wick, has been put under arrest.

Every intelligent reader knows
