F. H. MAY, Colonial Secretary.

The discovery dazed him, and he carried it a day in his possession before informing the cashier Mr. Frank J. Kapp, Kapp was thun derstruck and called in Mr. Charles Pfister, the director. Telegrams wern sent immediately te banks carrying every reserve accoupt, and. by Wednesday night the true condition of affairs was apparent. Other book-keppers were questioned. They knew nothing that would throw any light on the affair. The en- try.clerk was positive his entries were correct. It developed later, it is declared, that copies of the form of statement issued by the various banks had been made and new statements written on the proper stationery by the plotters when the real statement arriv. ed and the slip turned over

While the two banks affected are entirely separate institutions, the fact that they occupy adjoining buildings and that some of the First National's officers direct the affairs of the Mil- waukto Trus!'

The first authentic statement in regard to the cause of the downfall of Frank G. Bigelow, the refulting bank president, was made to | day by an intimate friend of the former banker, In brief, Bigelow's friends attributes the disas← to over-confidence in his business ability; Mr. Bigelow, his filend states, denies empha tically that he lost the money in whoat deals.

"If you were to ask him how the money was spent, he would be unable to tell you," said Mr. Bigelow's friend. "His affairs are in a remarkable tangle. As a matter of fact, he did not intend to be dishonest. He thought ba was a financier. He kept no books, and for odds and ends of all sorts he had bis mlad only as their depositories, 1 am sure I don't know whether it indicates mental weakness on hli part. I can but repeat he supposed he was |n greater business man than he was.
