Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, Feb. 19.-In the course of
the inquiry into the affairs Of the de-
funct Otto bank j. w. Redden, formerly
the cashier OF the bankrupt institution
was examined before C. L. Joy, referee
in bankruptcy yesterday. Redden who
is but % years of age had resigned
from the bank about a month before
the failure occurred and his examina-
ton it was hoped might develop some
trace of the $150,000 which the report
OF Expert Sparks shows unaccounted
for on the bank books. Redeem proved
amply able to protect himself and little
was gained from his examination. He
denied that his responsibilities included
the duty Of keeping an account of
the monies Of the bank or of the deal
ings with correspondent banks, or to
superintend the rediscounting of the
banks paper and merely consisted III
taking care of the loans. seeing that
paper was paid at maturity and charge
OF real estate business. Redden was
mixed up several times In his
testimony and his explanation OF why
he quilted a 500 job without means
was weak. He said he resigned n
month before the failure to enjoy va
cation before he took the position Of
cashier in new bank the proprietors
of the Otto bank were contemplating
just before the institution was forced
into liquidation. That he left the bank
with 500 cash and that this money
paid his personal expenses for three
months and that he stayed three weeks
in Winnipeg, Canada, without making
the acquaintance of single person.
He also admitted speculation on the
board Of trade and had at one time
overdrawn $1,700 but had replaced the
money.
Manager F. n. Cutting of the bank.
admitted that sums of money aggre-
eating $4,000, turned over to the bank

Iowa Falls, Feb. 19.-'rhe report en-
anating from Des Moines to the enect
that on the completion of the Des
Moines, Iowa Falls & Northern road to
Des Moines, the headquarters of the
company would be removed to that city
is received with much amusement here
and is regarded as hot air story OF
the first quality. The Des Moines
Short Line is a distinctly Iowa Falls
institution. as all of the stock is owned
lin this city and the management OF the
line is vested in men who are now and
expect to be residents OF the city. The
directors of the road state emphatically
that the management of the road Will
remain in Iowa Falls as long as they
own controlling interest in it and that
permanent Improvements are being
made with that end in view. The same
report states that the northern termi-
nus of the road will be La Crosse Wis,
but this statement is based on a report
sent out from La Crosse and is based
OH the supposition that the road would
follow an old survey made years ago.
1t is also stated that Charles City will
probably be on the line. This is also
misleading. as the line northeast from
here is wholly unsettled and the route
will be determined by the estimates
shown by the engineers figures after
several preliminary lines have been
run. Another element in the location
of the line will be the inducements Of
fered the road by towns and cities
along the various lines under contem-
plation, and the route that offers the
most advantages in construction and
the places assuring the best encourage
ment will figure largely in the final To-
cation of the road northeast from
