YOUNGER STRANDNESS
FORGED NOTES TRYING
TO SAVE HIS FATHER
Arrested BY Federal Officer, he
Admits Crime-Now Held In
Jail at Aberdeen.

Butler s. D., Nov. 2O.--Ted Strand
ness, cashier Of the Farmers State
bank Of this city and son OF Torgus
Strandness, the missing cashier OF the
First National bank OF Bristol was ar
rested last night by Deputy United
States Marshal Closson.
Strandness was taken to Aberdeen
for arraignment before Commissioners
william Wallace on the charge Of aid
ing and abetting in the abstraction OF
funds from a national bank. He adj
mitted his guilt and is held in Jail, tenn
porarily, in default Of $4,000 bonds.
Before becoming cashier of the bank
here, the junior Strandness was book
keeper in the now defunct bank at
Bristol. 1t is claimed that his irregu-
lar transaction there was in line with
general attempts to help his father out
OF bad hole, due to speculations on
the board of trade. The young man
admits that he did, on December i,
1914, forge notes to the amount OF u.s.
900 and place them in the banks secur-
lty pouch in order to cover that amount
Of cash which had been taken and used
by his father.
While the state banking department
has found no shortages in the affairs
OF the Butler State bank, IL is intimated
that the department will not permit
the bank to be reopened by members
OF the Strandness family. Negotiations
now are in progress for the purchase
OF the bank by other persons and the
Institution probably will resume bust
ness within a very short time. The
federal officers probably will levy on
the $4,000 of stock in the Butler bank,
held by Torgus Strandness and Ted
Strandness, to apply on the First Ma
tional shortage at Bristol. .. ..
In spite Of rumors that Torgus
Strandness, the missing Bristol CASH
Ter, had been located in an eastern
state, the federal officers deny all
knowledge Of his present whereabouts,
although admitting that a vigorous
search is being prosecuted. The short
age Of Torgus Strandness at Bristol.
1t is said, will go very close to 100000,
entirely wiping out the banks capital
stock Of $4,000 and making inroads
on the 1921, 900 in deposits.
