edges His Guilt.


Seymour.-Cashier Leroy Ware of
the Farmers and Drovers' Bank of
this city has admitted that he has
made away with funds of the insti-
tuition, but can not or will not say
how much. The stockholders held a
meeting AMI issued guarantee to the
deposi,oTs that no one would lose a
cent Ware himself lies i'll in bed at
his home here nervous wreck whose
mental condition is such that he can
not give the combination Of the
banks safe correctly and Bank EX-

the bank are unable to get at the
saclt to fnl out how much money is

Tbs bank, which was closed by di-
recticn of the state official, will stay
closed until the amount of Wares
:peculations is discovered The
stockholders, all men of wealth, will
make up the loss and the bank will
then resume business.
1t apt ears that Ware, who ran the
bank pretty much by himself. accord
Ing to accounts, has been receiving
moneys from men and issuing certi-
ic2tes OF deposits TO them, but has
not been putting the money into the
hank. This is alleged to have been
going on for over d year. Gossip as

from $4,000 up. The capital stock
OF the bank is $4,000, however, and
the directors are liable for twice that

that, practically speaking, the short
age will be found to amount to any
thing like that sum.
What has become of the money no
one knows OR can guess with any de-
