A. Roff, the well known and popular agent of the Rock Island Railroad c mpany in this city, were consi y when it was an- nounced that a new man had taken his place in the management of the office, and that Mr. Roff had gone to Chicago to have a personal conference with the officials of the company. Inquiry was naturally prose- cuted in all directions for acause for the sudden chango. The state of facts elicited, though smewhat vague, scom to indicate that Mr. Roff has been unfortunate in having a careless if not dishonest cashier, whose errors and discrepancies have cre- ated what appears to be & shortage of several hundred dol'ars. The cashier is J. I, Christianson, a young man, who has Been an employe of the oftice for many years, and who his been shown every kindness by Mr, Roff, rising from the position of messenger boy to that of cashier. Several weeks ago Mr. Roff discovered that the cashier's books were in an unsatisfactory condition, and that his cash was sadly out of balance, Immediately following the dis- covery the cashier handed 1 his resignation, and it was accepted, with the provision that he should remain in'the ofice and assist in finding what his employer belieyed to be simply a series of unfortunate blunder: Asked for & Pass to Cnlengo. Christiansen nsked fora fow days leave and a pass to Chicago. This was granted, and 1t is stated thatthe young man went into the general offices of the company with the evident purnosc of shifting the respon- sibility and trying to square himself, and made some covert intimations about the ad condition of the oftice here. The company acted quickly upon the hints dropped and sent out the traveling auditor to check up.
