JASPER WRIGHT. Bank Cashier Vanishes.

Edward J. King, cashier of the State Bank of Dugger, near Sullivan, this state, has disappeared and it has been announced by bank officials that there is a shortage of $15,000. King has not been seen since last Saturday, when it was reported that he was driving toward Terre Haute in a .big red automobile. An affidavit charging King with larceny has been filed and the warrant for his arrest has been placed in the hands of the sheriff. King has been associated with the bank for the last ten years. John M. Knapp and wife and son, Lawrence, and Paul Norman left this afternoon overland in two automobiles for Panama, N. Y., to which place he shipped his household goods last night. Mr. Knapp has resided here for several years and engaged in the livery business. His decision to move to New York, his former home, was to take care of his father’s farm of 120 acres. His father is old and unable to look after the farm, which is only a short distance from “Chautauqua Lake and near the Pennsylvania line The *rarm which Ed Peck had purchased and where he died, was only a short distance from the Knapp farm. John’s friends here hope that he makes a splendid success with the farm. H. C. Montay arrived today from Mayo Brothers hospital in Rochester, Minn., where he had been since the 19th of February and this was his second trip there. He has been an invalid for most of the past year and last fall seemed more dead than alive. He is still poorly but believes he is on the road to recovery.
