TIPTON BANK WRECKER RETURNS

But Refuses to Make Any Statement Whatever About the Bank Affairs. Noah R. Marker, the Tipton bank wrecker, returned quietly to Tipton last Friday morning and was arrested ed, some hours later. He had only been down in Missouri on a little fishing trip, he said, taking a little rest. He refused to make any statement whatever about the bank affair, on the advice of his attorneys, and what has become of the $60,000 in currency that disappeared when Marker Jest Tipton the Saturday night previous—is still a mystery. Dozens of the wealthiest citizens of the county tumbled over themselves to get their names on his bond, they still expressing the utmost confidence in Marker, notwithstanding the cold fact that .the bank's vaults are minus of all its cash.
