Where Customers Feel at Home
Nebraska City. Neb., April 12.
Whereabouts of Thomas Murray, fugi
tive president of the Dunbar State
bank, remained a mystery today, ac
cording to Sheriff Carl Ryder, who is
conducting the search. A reward of
two hundred dollars i3 offered by Otoe
county for his arrest.
Ryder said it is definitely known
that Murray, under the name of
Thomas Miller, was in Denver or.
April 3, and went from there to Seat
tle where he checked out of the fash
ionable Olympic hotel on April (J
Since then his movements have not
been learned, the sheriff said. In Se
attle, Murray registered as Thomas
Fur ray.
Ryder said today he had sent tele
grams and circulars to authorities at
all coast cities to be on the lookout
for the fugitive. Officials are asked
to watch all outgoing boats, and to
check passenger lists of boats that
have departed. Ryder said, however,
that he does not believe Murray
would chance an attempt to leave the
country by boat.
The circular sent out by Ryder
states that Murray is wanted for for
gery "in large amounts." Murray is
described as a pleasant talker, inclin
ed to be mirthful and Jovial, and "will
be found at the best hotels and
clubs."
It is expected by authorities that
notes alleged to have been forged and
sold by Murray will total more than
100 thousand dollars. This loss,, how
ever, wil not fall upon tho Dunbar
State bank, but will be suffered by
the buyers of the notes. The loss in
the bank will be chiefly in the form
of "frozen" assets, according to offi
cials of the state guaranty fund com
mission. RUDY DUSEK THE0WS ZBYSZKO

Washington, April 11. Cattle on
feed for market in the eleven corn
belt states on April 1 totaled only
about 92 per cent of the number on
that date in 1926, the department of
agriculture announced today. ln
xx.ua the nnlv state which did
i not show a decrease in the number
on feed.
"If the cattle market continues in
its present strong condition," W. F.
Callander, chairman of the crop re
! porting board, declared, "additional
feeding facilities may he expiyt"
where feeding stock is available. But
present cattle supplies indicate that
the market cf fed cattle from Apnl
to September can hardly equal the
very large marketings during the
same period last year. Likewise it
seems unlikely thr.t the supply ot
iitrhiir finioiipH mm fed cattle this
year during this period will equal la?t
