poets that II will require several days be-
fore II Is known just how accounts stand
in the saving department Of the WOLF
boro Loan and Banking company a short
age OF $4,000 in which has been found.
The saving department will remain
closed until the books are Strengthened
out The institution is the only bank
here. the Lake National bank and Wolf
boro savings bank having closed their
doors some years ago.
The shortage is alleged TO have been
due to erroneous bookkeeping OF the
cashier. Charles f. Piper, who for more
than a year has been an invalid. No ac-
cusation has been made against Mr.. Piper,
and the errors discovered are thought TO
be explained by the fact that the man had
not been in the best physical or mental
condition for some time before he gave
up business.
As the bonds given by. Mr.. Piper nearly
cover the amount OF the shortage IL Is
thought that tho institution will not be
affected by the trouble.

pany, was chartered In 1889. Albert q.
