 The report was to the effect that the loss to the bank was on an amount of S6o. 900 about, and that the interest on that amount would bring the aggregate loss up to the figures given above.

 They admit that the exsmiaation of the books thus far have shown short ages, but cannot see from the present progress of the examination the com missioner's basis for his figures.

MRS. ENSIGN'S WILL
Addmitted to Probate in Salisbury, Alter
 Long Hearing.

Addmitted to Probate in Salisbury, Alter
 Long Hearing.
 A hearing on the application of Lucy E. Mortensen, of Lime Rock, daughter of testetrix, for the probating of the will of the late Jane Ensign, widow of the late Sidney P. Ensign, was held by Judge of Probate Donald T. Warner. at the Town Hall, Salisbury, Monday morning. Miss Ensign died at Boynton, Florida, December. 29, last.
 Attorney L. J. Nickerson of West Cornwall appeared in opposition to the probatinR of the will. and J. Clinton Roraback of Canaan supported the appli- cation.
 After hearing the testimony of Heze- kiah Goodwin, Rev. George William Griffith and Dr. Wm. B Bissell, the court decided that the will had been formally executed, and admitted it to probate. The hearing occupied about half the day.
 The estate of the late Sidney P. Ensign is estimated at about $30.OOO and this estate is involved in the settlement of the widows estate. It is thought there will be no appeal from Judge Warmers de- cision.
 The body of Mrs. Ensign is still in Florida, but will be brought North for burial in the spring.
