State Has Offered Reward for His
Arrest.

VIII John A. Flack be brought
back to Abilene in short time? Gov
ernor Stubs yesterday offered a re-
ward of $3.50 for Flack's arrest and
conviction. 1t is rumored that his
place of hiding is known and now
that some inducement is offered for
the capture of the defaulting bank
cashier, his arrest Is looked for at
any time.
1t was just year ago September
that Abilene woke up to the fact that
one, of its most trusted citizens had
left for parts unknown and that his
associates in business were left to
make good his defalcations. Flack
had been cashier Of the Abilene State
bank for five years. He had prac-
tically the sole management of the
bank which had deposits of about
$4,000 at that time. He had evil
IDENTIFY been for three years using the
banks money in investments, most
of them being here. Among them
was his handsome home on Buckeye,
which completely furnished was sold
for $4,000. Many hardships fol-
lowed and several law suits were the
result of his defalcations.
