IS Charged With
WRECK|NC BANK
F. n. CUTTING, ARRESTED IN
CHICAGO, TAKEN BACK TO
IOWA TO STAND TRIAL.
ENLIGHTENMENT OF BIG
AMOUNT is ALLEGED
Failure of Institution at Otto Said to
Have Been Due to His Specula-
ton and High Living-Fourteen
Indictments Against Him.

Chicago, Sept. 19.-Fred H. Cutting,
40 years old, was arrested late Friday
afternoon in the Office of the New York
Life Insurance company on warrant
charging him with wrecking the Otto
savings bank, of Otto, Woodbury. coun-
ty, Ia, and with the embezzlement of
funds amounting to more than $4,000.
The arrest was made by Detectives
thinner and Gleason, of the central
station, and after Cutting was given
a chance to see his wife and two chill
dren in his cell for few moments he
was taken back to Sioux City in charge
of Sheriff G. w. Jackson and will be
forced to stand trial.
Cause of His Downfall.
Speculation and fast living are said
to be the causes of Cuttings downfall.
He is said to own a beautiful home in
Otto, where previous to the failure of
the bank he was leader in the social
affairs of the town. Notwithstanding
the fact that the bank failed two years
ago Cutting has since lived in Chicago,
occupying with his family small cot
tage at 827 Chase avenue, and has been
employed as an agent for the New York
Life Insurance company. He has made
several trips to Otto, and, it is said, has
prevented his arrest and prosecution
by his promises to make good the
amount of his alleged shortage. Scores
of depositors in the bank, however, are
said to have become suspicious that
Cutting was not acting in good faith
and, after a meeting held one day last
week, it was decided to prosecute him.
Friday Ia indictments charging forgery
and embezzlement were returneu
against. him by the grand jury at Sioux
City. A warrant was issued for his ar
rest and brought to Chicago by Sheriff
Jackson. Detectives thinner and Glea-
son found Cutting sitting at his desk.
He was surprised when told that he
was under arrest, but went willingly
to the station.
Loss Of $72, 900 Admitted.
Cutting, according to the detectives,
admits that the charges against him
are true. He is reported to have told
the officers that he lost $4,000 in a
Chicago board of trade failure two
years ago and also said that he lost a
large sum through investments with
two confidence men, who represented
to him that they were wealthy cattle
men from Idaho
Cutting, who was we'll known in
Iowa, is said to have established the
hank and soon received depOSitS
amounting to thousands of dollars from
many of the residents and farmers in
Woodbury. county. He was trusted i'm
plicitly and there was no suspicion that
all was not right until he disappeared
from the city. An investigation proved,
it is said. that the funds of the bank
had been lost in speculation.

Bailey, an employee of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company's freight car shop,
met his death in singular manner Sat-
urday. While assisting in adjusting
safety valve on the dome of an empty

to hold a rivet which was about to be
driven When the rivet entered the
side of the tank an explosion followed
and Bailey was blown out of the man
hole and through the skylight in the
roof of the shop. The shattered and
dismembered body fell back again to

is supposed to have been caused by an
accumulation of gas in the tank.

GAIN is SLOW But DEFINITE
PROGRESS IN INDUSTRIAL AND
COMMERCIAL LINES.
Manufacturers and Traders Making
Preparations to Care for
Increased Business.

New York, Sept. 19- R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review Jf Trade says:
Industrial and commercial progress is
slow, but none the less definite Low
temperature and some injury to crops
provided the only adverse influence of
the week, and this has little effect upon
manufacturers and traders, who have
started to prepare for increased BUSH
ness. Buyers of dry goods, clothing and
millinery are notably active in placing
orders, and other staple lines also feel
the effect of gradually expanding conf
dence. Even if the official crop esti-
mates of September l have to be mod
erately reduced because of bad weather
since that date there is full compensa-
ton to growers in the enhanced
prices and the strength of securi-
ties indicates the faith of the
financial world. Many mills and
furnaces have resumed because of
new orders or adjustment of wage scales,
and prices are steaqier in most cases,
with general advance in footwear It
is not unusual to hear fall trade spoken
of as fully equal to last years, although
collections are not as prompt at several
cities. Freight traffic blockades are not
as frequent as they were at this time in
1903, yet there is occasional complaint
Failures this week amounted to 224,
in the United States. against PIG last
year, and q in Canada, compared with
10 year ago."
Bradstreet's says: while there are
diverse movements in domestic and
foreign trade, the tendency as a whole
is for Improvement along conservative
lines. Buoyancy in the stock market,
possibly larger manipulated, and the
strength of cereal prices are factors slim
ulating to trade, but the advance of the
fall season, with cooler weather in some
sections, and the prospect of good re-
turns to the agricultural interests. de-
spite the heavy shortage in the wheat
yield, are all elements tending to encour-
age buying. The feeling in many lines
is that as the season advances and the
corn crop situation becomes clearer the
need of additional recorders will result
in fair volume of trade, comparing bet
ter with fall business year ago than
did last springs trade with the corre-
spending period of 1903.
