Brother of Missing Employe of Indiana Bank Quit*. Tipton, Ind.. July 30. William H. Marker, cashier of the First National bank, and brother of Noah R. Marker, the missing cashier, who is charged with defalcations of over SIOO,OOO, has resigned. Many bad notes and checks are turning up in the progress of the examination of the affairs of the bank by Miller Weir, national examiner.

This paper, bearing forged signatures of substantial citizens, represents, it is said, thousands of dollars abstracted from the bank’s funds.

As the accounts are in a tangled condition and there are about 3,000 notes to be passed upon, it will be a week before a definite report of the status of the institution can be made.

Washington. July 30—The comptroller of the currency has received a telegram from Special Examiner Weir at Tipton, saying that his examination so far has revealed a shortage of $105,000 in cash and other items of the First National bank.
