concern and was loud in his denunciatOn
of Leavitt as coward and liar. He
would say nothing. however, about the ma

and particularly Leavitt, although in this
they were disappointed, for, owing to the
prisoners waving an examination, he did
not leave his hotel, although posse Of citi-

important witness, having been present
when the murder was committed. He will

to escape he was shot and killed by Officer
Nelson, but this appears to be without

WNONA, Oct 11.-There was con-
siderable excitement in local banking
circles to-day over the announcement that
3. Rautenberg, bookkeeper at the Wi
mona Deposit bank. had disappeared, taking
with him all the available cash on hand at
the bank Saturday evening, amounting to
about 81, 200. Rautenberg closed up his
business as usual on Saturday evening and
was seen about the city later in the evening.

and inquiry revealed the fact that he had
not been seen since Saturday night. He
left word at his clearinghouse, at No. Ala
Center street, that he was going out to
Dover Center to spend Sunday and would
be home in the evening. 1t was learned,
however, that instead of going there he
took the limited over the Milwaukee q st.
Paul road at 1914 Saturday night for Chi
cagO, and IS doubtless in communion with
the American bank clerks i'll Canada
long before this. An examination of the
bank accounts was made to-day and it is
believed that 81, 200 will cover the defalca-
ton, although a more complete investiga-
ton may reveal other discrepancies. Shortly
before the bank closed Saturday afternoon
Rautenburg drew and cashed a check for
$500 on the Second National bank, signed
by Z. A. Rising, treasurer, per Rautenberg.
as he has been authorized to make out
checks. This amount, together with some
$3.50 or $500 in currency and gold, is prob
ably all he carried with him. While hand
ling considerable money every day, Mr..
Rautenberg was not required to furnish
bonds, and the loss will fall entirely upon
the stockholders. The WinOna Savings bank
was organized about year ago, with Hon.
William Window, president, G. A. MOrey,
VICE lIt1SlUCllt. anu Z. y. IGiSlll0, treasurer.
The bank, while doing a constantly increas-
ing business, has never employed a regular
cashier. Mr.. Risney. the treasurer and

to the entire duties of the institution.
While Rautenberg seems to have enjoyed
the unlimited confidence of his employers.
he has not, like the ideal bank defaulter.
borne a first-class reputation among the
citizens generally, and the expression of
many as they were informed of his flight
to-day was, Just what l have expected of
eim." In appearance Rautenburg is typ
ical young Jew, short and dark-complex-
toned and wears glasses. He possesses all
the native shrewdness of his race. but he
has acquired the unenviable reputation in
his private affairs of being not only incon-
sistent but hypOcritical in his methods. He
came here about four years ago and entered
the state normal school. having previously
been county school teacher. He had an
extraordinary amount of what is vuIgary
termed cheek, and was soon known through
out the city. He identified himself with a
prominent church of the city, although he
never attained any prominence or secured
any influence in it. He joined the Young
Mems Christian association as an active
member, and has otherwise, to few, been
seemingly and strictly moral. He has con-
tTibuted several articles to the WinOna Re-
publican at different times, most of which
pertained to politics. Rautenberg was a
strong Republican, and has frequently
harangued upon the corrupt methods en-
ployed by the Democrats For some time
past he has been figuring to secure the
nomination on the Republican ticket for the
office Of county superintendent of schools.
The Republican convention of last week
crushed his hopes in this direction, and it is
