Graettinger, June 2S.-There is con-
siderable excitement here over the dis
appearance of Cashier William Muel-
Ter of the Graettinger Savings bank,
and subsequent developments. Muel-
Ter disappeared about week ago and
his whereabouts are unknown. The
sheriff of the county has secured an
order to have the bank safe opened
and until this has beer done the
amount of Mueller's supposed short
age will not be known. 1t is supposed
that Mueller,,s deals in land were the
cause Of his trouble. The bank was
established in 1892 and was the first
bank IN the town. 1t was capitalized
at $4,000, and the last statement, Feb
ruary Is, 1905, showed deposits of
$l0,3O5. 1t is feared that the most of
this money has been squandered. 1t
is believed, however, that the deposit
tors will receive nearly one hundred
cents on the dollar A receiver will be
appointed.
When the safe of the bank was op-
ened today funds to the amount of
$l,25O were found. The exact status
OF the banks affairs, however, cannot
be told until more thorough exami-
