All of the notes Alther past due or of such cos thoy cotld mot be wol The badk weathered the storm on Fri- day with the outward indication of belng a8 strong as ever, but at the closing of the day’s business there was only $58 left. The élerk saw that it would be useless to open the bank next day and notice of the state of affairs was sent to the State Bank- ing board. Attorney General Prout, who was the only member of the board in Lin- coln st the time, instructed the chief clerk of the banking department to come here and tako charge of the institution. He ar- rived Saturday g and was followed & few hours later by Bank Examiner Hart- well. The clerk had posted a motice on the door in the morning to the effect that the bank would remain temporarily closed. Made the Loot Complete. It appears from a close examination of the books and records of the bank that Chamberlain had been unlawfully manipu- lating the bank's funds for some time, pos- aibly twe months. It has been found that Chamberlain not only took a large block of securities, but several thousand dollars of cash and sight exchadge as well, the exact amount of which, however, has not been determined. Chamberlain was an ex- pert bookkeeper. Numerous cases havo been found where he took three not » single foan. All of These notes he nego- tiated with different institutions. Some of the money received from the sale of these duplicate motes he would turn fnto the bank, crediting one account and debiting another in a manner which completely baf- flea the bank examiner and others who inspected the books and records prior to the tallure. 'The patrons af the Chamberlain banking house had dmplicit confidence in the cashler. This is shown i his Inducing them to sign duplicate notes. He told the customer that he wished the second or duplicate note to keep In the bank, the original having been negotiated. He sald this was necessary to meet the rigld requirements of the bank examiners. The unsuspecting patrons aigned the duplicates, which were afterwards sold to other banks. None of the borrowers ques- tioned the motives of the caslier, nor did | they motice that the second or third notes they signed were | “& out In original form, with nothing n them to éhow t they were duplicates. Swindles n Trusting Farmer. ASeveral months ago Charles White, a farmer residing elx miles from Tecumseh, was summoned to the office of Cashier Chamberlain. , White was a borrower of the bank, “As gn Aecommodatiofi T wish you to give me a mortgage to seqtife your loan,” sald Chamberldtn to the farmer. I dom't de- mand this a¥ surety for myself. It is sim- ply because I wish to megotiate the note and it will be easier to do that with the mortgage than without It.” Chamberlain had the ‘'mortgage preparsd and it was duly sigued by White. was for $1,600 and the mortgage was for the full amount. The property listed was cattle, supposed by White to be the prop- erty of Chamberlain. In looking over the assets the mortgage was found and upon investigation {t was learned that the cat- tle lsted therein was the property of Fred Helstead and had been since several months ‘before the mortgage was signed. White as- werts that the brand of the cattle was in. serted by Chamberlain without his knowl- edge or consent. ays he supposed Chamberlain really owned the stocl be would not have signed the d Many Bankers Interested. resentatives of the National ml of cc.-.:om of Kansas City, the Union’ ll‘cur Yards National bank of South Omahd Amd [ the First Natlonal bank of Council Blufts ‘have been here investigating securitl , purchased from Chamberlaln.

It 1s -claimed by the representatives of the banks that mearly all of them are rein- forced by additional security, upon which they can easily recover any losa that might otherwise be sustained. Chamberlain kept & discount register in the bank, As required by law, but it fs known now that he frequently negotlated motes without recordiag them or making any record whatever of the tramsaction. The notes Chamberlain took with him when be left the bank last week were re- placed! by past cancelled and worth- less weouritfes.

HAZLETON ALLIANCE TELLS ITS WISHES They Are far a Special San HUNTINGTON, W. Va., Bept. 4.—It Is how belleved the coml strike in West Vir- ginia s practically at am end. At a m meeting of miners from all the caal ,flelde along the Noffolk & Western railroad here today' it almost unanimously agreed to take back all the old miners, and they have | signified their intention of doing this. The miners Have Agreed to return to work next Monday' morning. It s reported that President John Mitch- ell of the United Mine Workers advised the strikers to return to work, as he realized that winter was near at hand and the miners in this fleld could not hold out much longer, 48 almost évery one was dependent on the union for food and cléthing. It is thought the strikers in the New River and Kanawha fields will soon follow the action of the strikers on the Norfolk & Western. The Pocahontas mine continues to burn out, but the operators think that they will soon have it under control. No violence has beon reported from any quarter of the Norfolk & Western coal fleld today. WILKESBARRE, Sept. 4.—President Mitchell this evening confirmed the Associ- ated Press dispatch stating that the strike of miners in the Pocahontas reglon had been declared off. He sald the strikers were granted some concessions, but he could not say at present what they were.
