Although it will be several days
before the exact condition of the
Thompson bank will be fully known,
it is understood that the amount of
money missing will be much less than
was at first expected. II is thought
by those who knew Cashier Hulen
that when he left for st. Louis Sat-
urday night, he did not intend to re-
main away. He took no extra clothes
with him, it is understood he left the
cash in the bank untouched and that
after he sent a wire to his wife Mon
day saying he was delayed something
occurred to make him change his
mind.
There is no question concerning the
solvency of the bank.

ant will be able to ascertain just what
condition the Bank of Thompson is in
ms Virgil Hulen, the cashier who dis
appeared Saturday night, had not
posted his balance since November
23rd and the books are in a muddled
condition as a result.
Nothing has been heard from him
since the letters which were received
following his disappearance in which
he had stated that he had gotten in
such shape that he was going away to
make good and then return to make
up all shortage.
To those who knew Hulen his de-
parture came IS a great shock. He
came to Thompson from the Bank of
Centralia where he had been most
successful and had always enjoyed the
best of reputation. He was known as
a steady worker, without bad habits OF
expensive inclinations. The report
that a young woman accompanied him
has not been verified.
