M A N VALUATIONS OF BANKER ARE. STILL DISSOLVED
Desperate Measures Taken to Aid Depositors Is
 Present Theory

l DENY YER, Colo, Sept. 7.-Al- though still confused by the maze of information regarding the pos sible whereabouts and also the financial transactions of c. D. Waggoner, President of the Bank of Telluride, the authorities held that he took desperate measures to save his friends, who are deposi- tors in the bank, from financial loss.
 Waggoner is sought in connection with manipulations which placed $500,000 belonging to six Denver banks to his credit in New York City institutions.
 Officers based their theories on telegram to c. w. Downtain, cashier of the Telluride Bank, which was coded and said: q had this money sent to you for the deposi- tors. See that they get it before somebody starts something. Do it confidentially. You have enough for everybody"
 Downtain said he failed to re- ceive the money referred to.
