Bank Examiner, Who Said Cashiers
Checks Were Used to Hide the
Shortage. 4
Pittsburg, May S.-William Mont
gomery, cashier of the Allegheny Ne
tfonal bank for over twenty years was
arrested on a charge of embezzllna
$429.OO of the banks funds. He was
Arraigned before United States Com
missioner w. T. Lindsay and held for
the federal grand jury under bond OF
$4,000, which was furnished by
George E. Tener, fnancier and bust
ness man.
The financial standing of the bank
Is in no wise affected by the defalca-
ton, as it is in position to bear the
loss without embarrassment. The bank
has a capital stock of 100000; sur
plus, 500, 900; undivided profits. sl2s,-
461; bank building, cash on hand. etc.
$666.972; due from other banks, $los,-
744; deposits, $2,444,S63.
The alleged defalcation was discov-
cred and the complaint filed by Ma
tional Bank Examiner William l..
Folds. who, having had his suspicious
aroused, in company with several
other experts, entered the bank before
banking hours and took possession OF
the books, papers and cash.
Soon after the close of banking
hours the warrant was issued and the
arrest followed.
According to Examiner Folds, the
regulations have been going on Tor
several years and were covered up on
the occasion of each visit OF the eX-
aminers by means of cashiers check.
The bank maintained a cashiers fund.
often amounting to as much as $780,
600, it is said, and upon the appear
ance of the examiner, it is alleged, the
cashier would send a messenger to
some other bank with his check for an
amount necessary to cover the short
age. After the completion OF the ex-
animation the check would be re
deemed.
The Allegheny National is one of the
older and generally regarded as one OF
the stronger institutions of the city. 1t
has been more or less associated with
the politics of Western Pennsylvania,
and it's directors room was the scene
of many important political confer
ences, particularly during the life o.
the late Senator Quay, who frequently
met his friends and lieutenants in this
room. Mr. Montgomery has always
been prominent in politics, and was
particularly close friend of the late
Senator Quay.
Examiner Folds expressed the be
lief, after making the charges, that
Mr. Montgomery had used the funds
of the bank to assist friends who were
in tight places financially, through
poor investments or other causes.
Those who know the cashier best feel
positive that he did not personally
profit by his populations.

which an informal decision has been
given in favor of Welker over his
chief opponent, John Moser.
All the Mosers named are one and
the same person. When it was too
late to have the candidates names
printed on the ballot a Citizens Party
was hastily organized in the town
and nominated ticket on which one
John S. Moser was a candidate for
Judge of elections. In marking their
ballots his supporters gave him vari-
pus styles of appellations, with the
result that when the votes were
counted there were found siXty-three
for John Moser, two for John S.
Moser, and one for j. S. Moser,
against sixty-four for Welker, the
Democratic nominee, there being no
other candidates for the office. The
combined Moser vote beat Welker
three, while the highest of any Moser
was two short of victory. Welker

STATES FISH PRODUCTION.

Harrisburg Especially There are
some changes in the method of COM
piling annual reports in that handed
by Fish Commissioner Meehan to the
Governor. Tables have been stricken
out wherever possible or reduced to
the very smallest dimensions. In
other places the Commissioner has
had the superintendents of the hatch
cries expand their reports to him so
as to explain the methods in fish cul-
ture work pursued during the year
and the Commissioner himself in his
portion views the entire work of fish
Matching.
The report shows a very large
amount of work done. There are
eight hatcheries from which there
were distributed nearly 100000, 900
fish, of which over 3OO,00O,000 were
food fishes exclusively, like the white
fish, lake herring, shad and yellow
perch, and about 100000 purely
game fish, like trout and bass, and
the remainder about 100000
which are classed as both food and
game fish, like the wall-eyed pike and
plckerel.
Eggs take from the State hatcher
les this year produced 100000
young fish. The stock was so in
creased that the yield next Autumn
should be over 100000 and the
following year 10,000,000.

awarded a firm for the constructing
of a 70-foot steam tug for egg gath
ering and patroling purposes in Lake

FIGHT WITH cATAMouNT.

Huntingdon Especially The ex-
treme cold and deep SHOWS have
caused the more ferocious OF the wild
animals in this section to become
exceedingly dangerous. Bears, Wild
cats and catamounts, driven down
from the mountains, are devastating
the farmers stock, and in several in
stances have attacked pedestrians on
the public roads. Sergeant Russell
r. Henry, veteran of the Civil War.
who resides about five miles from
this city, left here for his homo, his
route being along the base of Ter
race Mountain.
Within a mile OF his destination
he was attacked by a large cata-
mount, which sprang upon him from
an over-hanging rock, after dogging
his footsteps for more than a mile.
Mr. Henry was borne to the ground
by the shock, and momentarily rend-
cred insensible. A fox hound which
accompanied him gave battle to the
catamount until Mr.. Henry recov-
cred, when he succeeded in drawing
his pocket knife. A furious struggle
between the man and dog and starv-
ing beast followed, in which the dog
was killed, and Mr.. Henry received
serious wounds on his face and
hands. A neighbor soon after the
encounter found Mr.. Henry uncon-
scious from loss of blood, and con-
veyed him to his home, where he is
receiving medical attention.
The body of the catamount was
found about 200 yards from the
scene of the fight. 1t measured four
feet three inches in length, and had
died from loss OF blood.
