story that he was in debt $500. was
started day or two ago but it is to-
tally without foundation. The bank
closed day for the funeral and when
it reopened Saturday did a normal
days business. There Is no excitement
of any kind here for there is perfect
confidence in the institution. The ex-
animation of Guy Brent. the book
keeper, who is in Jail, discloses no con-
siderable shortages. 1t cannot be more
than a few thousand dollars. The
amount will be relatively insignificant"

Council Bluffs.
Very much alive, David Hanna, Of
Louisville, KY, came into Coroner
Henry Cutters office Monday afternoon
to learn where the story of his sup
posed death in the Illinois Central
yards Sunday night had originated. He
had a copy Of the Nonpareil with him
in which he had read the story of the
accidental death of a stranger whose
name was supposed to be David Hanna,
beneath the wheels of an Illinois Cen
trail freight train Sunday night. Cir
cumstances which linked themselves
together after the discovery of the
body were responsible for the supposed
identity of the dead body as that of
Hanna. Monday morning Illinois Cen
trail authorities wired their offices at
Tama to search No. 62 freight under
which the man was killed and find a
transient, thought to be the dead mans
pal. The train was searched at Tama
and the transient found. He said that
he and Hanna had hoped the freight
at Council Bluffs. but after he was on
he saw a man roll under the wheels
He could not find Hanna on the train
and supposed it was he. Authorities
then took it for granted that the dead
man was Hanna. But Hanna missed
the train hereand did not get on. Now
the mortuary record at Cutters reads.
