FEAR A SHORTAGE.
Missing Clerk of the Modern Woodmep had
Made no Returns for a Month.

". L. Hackley, the druggist, has
been elected temporary clerk of the
Kenosha Chapter of the Modern Wood
men to fill the vacancy caused by the
disappearance of Martin Berg on last
Friday. Mr.. Hackley took charge of
the books of the Chapter this morning
and committee are at work making
an effort to put them into shape for
the use of the new clerk.
Up to three O'Clock this afternoon
little shortage had been discovered,
but it is thought that a shortage in the
accounts will be found when the bus.
mess of the last few months is taken
up. The departed clerk Of the camp
made no returns to the banker during
the past month and It is figured that
he should have on hand about two
hundred dollars of the money of the
lodge.
OF course it is possible that this
money has been deposited for the ben
eht OF the Woodmen members, but no
trace of such deposit has been found,
Of course there is always the posi-
bility that Berg will return and make
good all sums paid in to him as clerk
but the officials of the camp seem to
think that his work as clerk is over.
None of the members will lose any
thing. If the books are found in a
tangled condition the loss will have to
rest against the entire lodge, and the
individual losses will probably be paid
from the general fund.
The Berg store will not be closed as
Mrs. Berg, the wife of the missing
man is continuing the business and
hopes in this manner to secure liveli-
hood for herself and children.
The police are looking into the
movements of Berg just before he left
the city and they haye discovered that
a short time ago he borrowed two hun
dred dollars from Mrs. Peter Frecker,
giving in return note signed by him
self and his wife. The note had no
other security.
The Chicago police have been notified
to make an effort to locate the missing
man, but as yet they have been unable
to get any trace of him. The motives
of Berg in leaving his wife and family
ia so peculiar condition are mystery
to his friends and the police, and many
of the friends of the missing man be-
1ieve that he will soon return and clear
himself of all the ugly rumors that
have been started against him.
