EFFECTED A SETTLEMENT.
Sureties Of Carl Young Came to His
Rescue.

from MONDAY bdiiy.
The Marshall News-M Messenger says
that settlement was effected between
the Tracy Building and Loan associa-
ton and the sureties on the bond of
Carl Young who was secretary of the
association and is charged with the
embezzlement of $l6,S44 from the asso-
citation. The settlement was effected by
the payment of $4,000 by the bondsmen
to the association.
The alleged defalcation of Young
covers period of six years from 1898
up to November, 1904. Young was look
ed upon as an exemplary man, held in
high esteem as citizen, and was prom
inent in social life and to some ex
tent in public affairs, holding trust
worthy position in the government rail
way mail service and positions of honor
with the railway mail clerks associa-
ton and with Tracy societies. Last
fell he left Tracy, and within few
days after his absence and lack of any
casioned suspicion as to his financial
affairs. For couple of weeks the news
papers chronicled the mystery of his
disappearance, until he was found in a
hotel at Mankato, apparently i'll and
delirious. In the meantime large
shortage in his accounts with the Tracy
Building and Loan association mad been
discovered, and upon his recovery he
was placed under arrest and since last
December has been in the county Jail
in Marshall awaiting the action of the
grand jury at the next June term of
district court.
An expert accountant reported the
shortage in his accounts with the as
ISOLATION, covering a period of about six
years, to be $l6,S44. Speculation as to
what became of the money hypothecat-
ed from the association had led many
of his former associates to believe that
Young is still in possession of the
greater amount of the shortage, as so
far as can be developed the accused Sec
rotary had no expensive habits, was not
addicted to liquor, did not gamble and
had not engaged in any market or real
estate speculations.
One of the most surprising features
of the case is that the shortage, cover
ing so long period, was not sooner dis
covered by the directors of the associa-
ton OF by the auditing committees
which each year reported examination
of the finances of the association.
March 18th the directors of the asso-
citation instituted suits to recover the
amount of the shortage from Young's
bondsmen during the six years of his
defalcation, four actions being brought
aggregating $l5,544, one action being
for $1,000 less than the alleged short
age in the year covered by one of the
bonds. The sureties on Young's bonds
during the six years effected by the
shortage in his accounts, and VINO have
paid the $4,000 in settlement are John
A. Hunter, j. M. Wardell, d. H. Evans
D. T. Macarthur, Richard Roland and w
R. Edwards. 1t is probable that the
sureties could have been held for the
full amount of $l6,S44. or for whatever
amount of shortage could nave been
proven.
