Spencer , the cashier of the Sioux City and Omuha olllcesviio has been missing for ten days. Mr. Spencer started for Omaha December 29 nnd has not been heard of since. His homo Is In Buffalo , but In quiry elicited the fact that he did not go there. The company opened nn ac count nt the Sioux National bank when It first commenced doing business hero and It had $1,000 lu the bank when It was closed. Then the account wan transferred to the First National , but only $1.COO wcs on deposit when the bank failed , Since than the bills have been paid by Mr. Spencer In currency sent hero from Omaha or Kansas City , and ho kept his own books.
