LINCOLN. March 0. ( Special lo The Bee. )
Parties from Dawes county arc making anx
ious Inquiries as to the whereabouts of A. O.
Shears , clerk of the district court for that
district. Mr. Shears left his homo In Chad-
ron last week and came to Lincoln on Thurs
day , registering nt the Capital hotel. Ho was
hero Friday dnd Saturday , but went away
Sunday forenoon. Jusl before noon on Sun
day ho called for his grip ana Informed the
clerk that ho was going to Omaha , Slnco
that tlmo no trace of him has been discov
ered , although Inquiries have been sent In
every direction.
At first It was believed that ho went to
Omaha When It was discovered that ho had
not gene to that city the theory was ad
vanced that the missing man had gene to
Wllber. IIo has a sister living at Wither , n
Mrs. liarton , wlfo of the sheriff of Sallno
county. On Saturday evening ho had tele
phoned to her. She Invited him to visit her
nt Wllbcr , hut ho Informed her that ho wns
expecting seine Important letters and would
have to remain In Lincoln until they came.
Ills unaccountable absence from homo has
created apprehension In the inltiil of his wlfo
and she has been telegraphing anxiously to
friends In Lincoln and to Mrs. Barton at
Wllbcr. Mrs. Barton Is In the city In an
endeavor to find some trace of her missing
brother , but so far all her Inquiries have
been Ineffective.
It Is bclluvcd that Mr. Shears Is laboring
under some extreme- mental distress. . Dr.
Simmons of this city , who Is an old acquaint
ance , saw him Saturday evening and no
ticed that ho acted and talked somewhat
peculiar , although others who saw him the
same evening noticed nothing out of the way
In his manner. lie also called upon Mr. and
Mrs. Gage , living at 215" North Twelfth
street. Ho told them ho wns In Lincoln at
tending court and complained of pains in the
nead. Ho was severely Injured about the
noad In n runaway accident two years ago

CIIADItON , Neb. , March 0. ( Special Tolo-
Bram to The Iloe.-Tho family and friends
of A. G. Shears , clerk of the district court
Jioro , arc greatly alarmed regarding his
present whereabouts. Ho left hero last
inursday for Lincoln , to bo gone n few days
'From there ho wro\o his wlfo that ho would
uo homo AVcdncsday. Ho then drew on the
local banks hero for $125 , but as ho had
no funds there the draft went to protest.
Just how much money ho held belonging to
litigants Is hot definitely know , but a county
oinclal who should know states that It Is
about $1,500. Ho has been rather hard up
for some tlmo. Ho was ono of the highest
esteemed men In the county. HH friends
hope and think ho is laboring under some
mental disarrangement and will soon re
turn.
ANOTHER BANK IN TROUBLE.
The State Banking Board today took con
trol of the Bank of Harrison , and will wind
up Its affairs at once. The bank Is not In
serious trouble , and It may not oven be
necessary to appoint a receiver. The bank
commenced to voluntarily liquidate Its lia
bilities three months ago with a view to
going out of business. At that tlmo It had
deposits amounting to about $16,000. loans
and discounts amounting to about $17 000
and $3,000 In cash In Its safe. At the pres
ent tlmo It has paid off about $12,000 of Its
liabilities , and still holds deposits to the
amount of $3.2SC. It holds negotiable paper
to the amount of about $8,000. The board
docs not bellovo that there Is any possibility
that the creditors of the bank will suffer
nny loss , but bellovos that the liquidation
should bo carried on under the direction of
the board. John A. Lucas of Wlsner Is
president of the bank , A. Castle , vlco pres
ident , and F. A. Castle , cashier.
CLOSE CALL FOR A COLLEGE.
The Wesleyan university , near this city ,
had another very narrow escape from
Bcrlous loss by flro today. About 12:30 :
flames were discovered In n wooden parti
tion wall In the basement of the main
building. There Is no flro department nt
University Place , and the distance Is too
great to the city department to render the
latter available. Fortunately the Janitor
had a length of small hose , which ho at
tached to the heating hollers. With the
water thus obtained the flro was extin
guished , but not until after the partition
had been entirely destroyed. Nothing but
the prcscnco of the garden hose saved the
flno building from destruction.
The university suffered the loss of Its
X training school some weeks ago. It cost
$50,000 , with no Insurance. About $10.000
liha been raised for the erection of a new
building. And In the meantime- all the
university buildings are without fire pro
tection.
COUNTY FUNDS INVOLVED.
After checking up the accounts of ox-
County Treasurer Durnham the county com
missioners have declined to glvo him a re
ceipt In full. The refusal of the commls-
clonors to receipt to the ox-troasurer lies In
the fact that the cx-ofllclal had deposited
Borne $39,000 in the Capital National bank , a
few days before Its failure. The money was
deposited under the depository net , the bond
for the safe keeping of the funds being
signed by Mosher and Outcalt. Of the
money deposited $20,000' had just been re
ceived by the treasurer from the state on
the soml-annual apportionment. The matter
has been turned over to the county attorney ,
who has been requested to glvo nn opinion
as to whether the county shall stand the loss
of the money or the ox-treasuror.
