Madison, Oct. 16.

United States Marshal Rock Flint
last night returned from Mineral
Point where he served a warrant on
Philip Allen, Jr., vice president OF
the First National bank of that city
The warrant charges Allen with EN-
bezzling $16S,0OO of the banks funds
Allen was in bed when the marshal
called at his home at 1880 O'CLOCK
yesterday morning. He was not sur
prised at his arrest. Three physicians
gave Mr.. Flint statement to the eft
feet that Aliens condition is such that
it would be dangerous to- remove him
to Jail. His condition is quite serious
although no fatal results are antici'
pated.
Allen must be arraigned before a
United States court commissioner
before he can be released on bail. He
is under the surveillance of marshal.
No other warrants have been issued
and it is believed that no legal action
will be begun against any of the other
directors of the bank.
The warrant for Aliens arrest was
issued by United States Court Com
missioner Chauncey e. Blake of this
city and sworn to by United States
District Attorney George Gordon OF
La Crosse. The warrant sets forth
the following allegations:
"The president of the United States
of America, to the marshal OF the

of Wisconsin, and to his deputies or
