Uses EMPLOYERS Money.

Uses Employers Money.
Davenport, June 19.-The startling
information that Mr.. w. II. Mast. until
recently secretary of the Phoenix Mil
ling Company, was short $1,000 in his
accounts was announced yesterday
y large number of the customers Of
the Phoenix Milling Company were
aware of the fact that there was some
thing wrong with the company's ac-
counts. as they had all received notice
asking them to verify their accounts,
and in order that City Salesman
Schneider. who receives all money
and receipts all bills. would not fall UNI
der any unjust suspicion. the company
decided to make the facts public.
The company discovered some time
ago that the accounts were not all
straight and about a week ago Public
Accountant Grabbe was employed to
sift the matter to the bottom
1t was discovered that Mr.. Mast's
operations ran back as far as 1900.
Up to date the losses have amounted
to about $1,000 and II is thought by
the officials of the company that this
will cover the entire amount Of the
embeZzled funds.
Mast had control of all the money
and the cash books. His system was
extremely simple and consisted of
merely poclleting the checking. leaving
the account open. He evidently in
tended to make the amount good at
some future time, but was discovered
before he was able to do so.
When confronted by the evidence of
his crime Mr.. Mast broke down and
confessed. He begged for time in
which to make the accounts right and
was given an opportunity to see rela-
tives who supplied him with the nee
essary amount of money.
Last Monday he resigned his position
as secretary of the company and is
now living in retirement.
