ton into its affairs, and requested that
a bank examiner be sent by the govern
ment The examiner took charge yester
day, and is engaged In going over the ac-
counts. This action caused the widest ru-
mors concerning the condition of the bank.
The town is nervous and apprehensive and
stories of forgeries and shortages amount
ing to over $500, 900 have found ready cir
cuiation and belief
There appears to be no adequate rea-
son for the sudden alarm. The bank di-
rectors had trusted implicitly in Cashier
Spencer, whose connection with the bank
covered thirty-one years Of service. His
tragic death by drowning, together with
his son, last week, gave the town such
a shock as it has not had since the tornado
of 1882. Whether the bank directors had
any further motive than a natural feel
ing of prudence in requesting the investi-
cation has not been made public Since
the examiner assumed charge he has CIV
en- out nothing, and will not until his
work is finished
While shortage may be found, there
is as yet nothing to indicate that the death
Of the Spencers was due to suicide, in
place of accident, or that anything is
wrong with the banks accounts. No re-
ceiVer has been appointed, and none will
be until the bank Inspector sends in his
report The city is in the grip of a
blind unreasoning fear, and the most alb
Surd tales gain credence.
