Late. today, it was rumored the riv-

Late tonight, the situation was I'M

The levee at Miller's Bend near Green

river valley north of Yicksburg has been

Yazoo swept through the brakes and

have been killed.
There has been little privation among
the flood sufferers south of the breaks

Stamford, CT, April 1o.--Maj Will
liam NJ. Holly, bookkeeper of the
Stamford Savings Bank, has been ar
rested, charged with defalcation of
the banks funds to an amount be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. The arrest
was made, last night. but the autllori-
ties did not let the fact become known
until today.
The officials of the Stamford Say
ings Bank, it was stated, today, had
been aware for some time that there
was a shortage in the banks accounts
and had employed a firm of experts
to go over the books and locate it,

began work on the books it was
given out by the bank officials that
the step was preparatory To the in

time before, of Howard S. Bogardus
as treasurer. The president of the
bank is Charles r. Lounsbury, a
prominent business man and the vice
president is Albert G. Weed, a re-
tired merchant and large real estate
owner.
The following statement was issued,
today. over the signature of Bank
Commissioner Norris S. Lipptt:
II can assure the people of Siam
ford that they should not feel un-
easy over the trouble in the Stamford
Savings Bank. The defalcation is
small and the bank cannot possibly
lose over 100000 The bank has a
surplus OF over $500, 1000 and can meet
the unfortunate matter easily. l have
thoroughly audited all the other
banks of the city and find them in
excellent condition"
The Stamford Savings Bank is one
of the Oldest institutions in the State.
1t was established in 1851.
William III. Holly had been connect

time as chief bookkeeper. He is a

families and was formerly prominent
in the Connecticut National Guard,
having been inspector of small arms
practice on the staff of the brigadier
general until the reorganization of
the National Guard at the close of
