Short One Thousand

Cedarville, O., Oct. 14.- William L. Clemens, cashier and manager of the Bank of Cedarville, has gone, his whereabouts is unknown, and the condition of the bank is not very clear. Clemens left Friday evening late, on his bicycle, giving the impression to those who saw him leavlng that he was just going for a little spin in the direction of Xenia, which was not unusual. He left a note which was put in the postoffice, addressed to his wife, to the effect that he had gone to Mexico and taken $1,000 of the bank's funds. Mrs. Clemens did not get the note from her husband until Saturdaymorning, when she at once informed George W. Harper, president of the bank, of j lts contents. The bank was not opened on Saturday and the books were not ; touched until Monday, when only a partial lnvestigatlon was made. Mr. Harper estimates the shortage at about $1,000. There is considerable mystery surrounding Clemens' departure. He is a stockholder in the bank to the amount of $3,000 and owns some little property in town and in Greene county. He has always appeared to be reasonably well-to-do, and has had no bad habits, it is said. He is thought to be insane.
