falcation may be-" said Mr.. Kane,
but our preliminary ex- -mination has
shown that it is not less than $780,
900. This shortage has occurred since
May %, when the bank was last ex-
amined. Suspicion on the part Of of
ficers of the bank several days ago
that a shortage existed caused the n

cry of the embbezzlement resulted.

Mr.. Dunlap does not say to whom
suspicion attaches. The last state
ment Of the condition of the bank,
issued on June 4, showed the bank u
be in a proper state. The president
Of the bank is R. n. Dickerson, and
