The school board was in position

man INDICTED.
f. C. McCutchen Charged
With Fraudulent
Banking.
GIVES AN APPEARANCE BOND
Action Due to Failure OF Holstein
Bank las. Fail-Condition Of Bank
Was Not Discovered Until After
the Death of His Father.

Ida Grove, April 26-Fred c. Nc.
Cutchsn of Holstein. formerly well
known in athletic circles of this
state as athletic manager OF the
State University OF Iowa. was indicted
by the grand jury here yesterday on
charge Of fraudulent banking. He
gave an appearance bond OF $500.
1t is considered probable that the
case will not come up for trial until
the October term of court
The action against McCutchen is
the outgrowth OF the failure last fall
of the Holstein bank, of which Fred
c. McCutchen's father, E. H. Nc
Cutchen, was the head, the firm 60
ing by the name OF E. H. McCutchen
& Co. The failure followed immedi-
ately en- the death of E. H. Nc
Cutchen. The news Of the condition
OF the bank created great surprise,
as il had generally been considered
one of the strongest institutions in
northern Iowa
The state organization OF Modern
Woodmen of America had 100000 on
the chief creditors. 3,
The case against Fred c. Nc.
Cutchen was also considered by the
grand jury last December, but the
evidence taken at that time was
sealed up and no action was taken.
During the years he was a student
in the State university perhaps no
college man in Iowa was more widely
known than Fred c. McCutchen. He
was manager of the famous Iowa
football teams of the seasons of 1899
and 1900 and proved himself most
aggressive promoter of college sports.
In the university he was unusually
popular and he played prominent
part in student life apart from his
activity in athletics; he was for a
time editor and manager Of the uni
versity's leading student newspaper.
Prior TO attending the university
Fred McCutchen held various import
ant clerkships in the Twenty sixth,
Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth
general assemblies. In this capacity
he became widely known and through
his genial qualities made many
friends. His indictment will come as
a surprise to his friends and acquaint-
ances throughout the state and will
cause much regret. His connection
with his fathers business at Hoistein
began some time after he left the uni
versity and also probably after the
first steps that led toward failure had
been taken.

take advantage of the opportunity to
purchase lands at the low figures at
which they are now being offered.
It does not require much thought to
