Fort Dodge, March 31.--Others are
compelled to suffer for the wrong-do-
ings of Cashier Standing, of the Cor
with bank who is missing with funds
of the Institution.
Three petitions in involuntary bank
ruptcy, filed in the federal court
against Oliver H. Stilson, Ernest L.
Stilson and J. II. Standring, all of
CorWith, Iowa, are a direct result OF
the looting Of the First State bank of
that place last fall by the fugitive
cashier. All are for $1,000 and recite
in detail some of the work of the de-
faulting cashier, whose whereabouts
are at present unknown.
The fight of Standring last Novem-
Der was the first intimation that any
thing was wrong with the bank, altho
evidence has since been brought to
light that as long ago as nine years,
Standring began his forging. A spu-
riouS mortgage on a farm in koSsuth
with forged certificate of filing at
tached, was sent to John L. Haswell,
a cousin living at Watervliet, N. Y,
who was loaning money in Iowa thru
Standring. HasWell has been "stung"
to the tune of between $40 900 and $780,,
900 by his Iowa cousin and is one of
the petitioners to file proceedings in
the federal court. His losses are rep
resented in forged instruments sent
to him on which Standring, from time
to time, paid the interest.

president and brother-in-law of the
decamped cashier, and Ernest L. Still
son were the principal stockholders.
Both are now bankrupt. Standings
methods of defrauding were by real
estate forgeries. Altho there is no def
mite evidence Of how he lost or to what
use he converted his ill-gotten gains.
it is the opinion that investments in
oil stocks, mines and like adventures
represent the route his money went.

Mason City, March S1.-Weighted
down with number of stones. to
which it had been tied, the mail pouch
stolen few weeks ago from the Iowa
Central depot was found yesterday by
boys in Willow Creek, nearly mile
below the Central depot. The pouch
was found in direct line with the route
to the deserted soap factory, where the
mail was destroyed by burning by the
thieves.
No trace has been discovered Of the
whereabouts of the robbers, tho there
has been steady search. A few days
prior to the robbery at the depot mail
pouch, containing letters, both reg
ular and registered, was stolen from
the platform at the junction. From
appearances it is some local artists
who are at the work.
