a dispute and she returned to her parents

SUICIDE OF A CASHIER.
He Is Supposed to Have Jumped from
the Top of n Windmill.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis. June 9.-The body
of John +. Sears, formerly cashier of the
Bank of Monticello, was found, June 2, at
the foot of a windmill on farm belonging
to him, about a mile north of this village.
His sudden death brought to light the fact
that he was financially embarrassed, and
that at the time of his death the directors
OF the bank were demanding explanations
1t is also known that other creditors were
growing uneasy. These facts furnished the
basis for the belief that Sears committed
suicide by jumping from the top of the
windmill Sears's bank books are in confu-
sion, but the bank is amply protected
against any possible loss. Those familiar
with his affairs. however, place his liabili-
ties In and outside the bank at about $4,000
and his assets at about So, 600.
