phalt Paving company arrived in the city
this morning from Kansas City with in
structions to investigate the accounts of e.
b. Spencer. the cashier OF the Sioux City
and Omaha offices. who has been missing
for ten days, Mr. Spencer started for
Omaha December % and has not been heard
OF since His home is in Buffalo, but in
quiry elected the fact that he did not so
there, The company opened an ac-
count at the Sioux National bank when
It first commenced doing business here
and 1t had $4,000 in the bank
when It was closed. Then the account was
transferred 20 the First National, but only
900 was on deposit when the bank failed.
Since then the bills have been paid by Mr..
Spencer in currency sent here from Omaha or
Kansas City, and he kept his own books.
They are in very bad condition but Mr..
Demarest estimates that the shortage here
is about $1,000. Several bills he should have
paid have not been settled and 1t will take
some time to find out just how much the
company owes here.
Charles f. squlres, local agent for tho
Barber company, said last night that he had
been aware Of Spencer's deGalcation for sey-
eral days pest Upon December 2S Spencer
made n draft on the local branch from Sioux
City for 1000. This was honored by Su-
pcrntendent Drake, as he supposed the
money was wanted in closing up the sea-
sons work there. Receiving no acknowl-
edgment OF the receipt of the money at
Sioux City, a number of letters were writ
ten to Spencer, but no reply was made to
any of them
Il. b. Demarest general superintendent at
Kansas City, was then notified of the mat
ter and he arrived in Omaha Wednesday
on his way to Sioux City. Mr. Squires
stated that Spencer had no connection with
the local branch. He formerly engaged
as a clerk in the companys Offices in Buff
lalo ~ Y. About the middle of last Au-
gust he was sent west to perform the du-
ties OF cashier for the Omaha and Sioux City
branches. II was found. however. that there
was too much work in the two cities for one
man to take care Of Spencer confined !
himself to the work of the Sioux City Office
He was in this city but once, when he WIS.,
tied the local Office the early part of last
November for the purpose of checking UP his
accounts. He remained here for five days
Spencer is described as being of a retiring
disposition and has always borne the best
Of regulations. He is about 50 years OF age,
and has a wife and one child residing in
Buffalo, N. Y. The Barber company will
looe nothing, as Spencer has surity in bond
