THE SEDAN DEPRECIATION.
So Far us Asccrtained Their are no IrrcEuIarities--Nis Cashiers
 Horse Found.


 Sedan, Kan. Sept. 22.-James T.. Bradley, national bank examiner. opened the vault of the Peoples Ma. tional bank Thursday afternoon and found silver, gold and currency to the amount of $7.700. He and the officers of the bank also examined many of the notes and securities held by the institution and reported that they were all genuine as far as they could detect. A telegram from the Union National bank of Kansas City, one of the closed banks correspond ents, is to the effect that the balance there to the Peoples banks credit is over $12.000. The New York core spondent has not yet been heard from. Stockholders and depositors alike are feeling more cheerful over the situation and it is the general opinion that the assets are ample to meet all obligations. In the exami- nation of the books it was discovered that the absconding cashier, o. D. Stallard, drew $700 on the day of his departure, but that a balance of s1 300 remained to his personal cred it.
 The above developments have have made his disappearance more myste- rious than at first and it is now the opinion of many of the depositors that his mind is temporarily unbal- anced There is no clue to his whereabouts. except that the horse that he rode away Tuesday night has been found at Bartlesyille. | T. It is believed that he boarded south bound train there Wednesday morn. ing.

HELD FOR GRAND LARCENY.
". Hodges Waived Examination and Goes to Jail Unable to Make Bond.

Goes to Jail Unable to Make Bond.
 The trial of w. Hodges, who was arrested yesterday afternoon at Gillham on charge of grand larceny which it is clalmed he committed at the Edwards hotel in this city Thursday night, was had before Sam H. Smith this morning.
 Hod ges waived examination and his bond was placed at $500, and not being able to make same he was placed in the county jail to awai. the action of the coming grand jury.
 Tue following story in connec- ton with the case was related to Star representative this morn ing:
 Frank Jones, who owns and operates barbecue stand on Pickering avenue had watch valued at about S20. MT. Jones has lady, Mrs. Gertie McLain, in his employ, who has rooms at the Edwards hotel where Hodges has been stopping since his ar rival in the city about a week ago.
 MT. Jones had several times dropped his watch from his pocket add by request Mrs. Nc Lain has bsen ia charge of this watch for some time, aud 1t IS Claimed that Hodges had seen the watch and had become very much attached to it, several times ex- pressing his desire for the watch.
 On Thursday night Mrs. Me Lain had gone to the hotel and prior to going to supper she took the watch off her person and laid it on table in her room, she also had a purse containing some small change and placed 1t in the tray of her trunk, and then went down with the other guests to supper.
 Hodges finished supper and left the dining room before anyone else. When the other guests came out of the dining room an old gentleman who was sitting Tn 1 the office of the hotel remarked that he wondered what wa wrong with Hodges, that he left in such a hurry a few minutes before, but nothing more was thought of the matter until Mrs. McLain retired to her room and discovered her watch and pursa were gone, but as Hodges did not show up any more the suspicion rested on him.
 Carson Edwards, proprietor oi the hotel, was sworn in as ceputy marshal and sent to apprehend Hodges. Mir. Edwards left on No. 3 yesterday afternoon, think ing probably he would get trace of Hodges going south, aud when No. 3 stopped at Gillham MT. Edwards got off on the platform of the depot and as he looked up in the smoker he saw Hodges getting drink, so he arrested him and brought him back on No. ? last night.
 Hodges bitterly denies the charge against him, but the au- thorities think they have the watch located, as disposed of.
