MISSING BANK CASHIER FOUND. Saratoga Man Discovered Exhausted and Dazed in Barn. Saratoga, N. Y., July 2.-William Hay Bockes, formerly cashier of the First National Bank, who has been missing several days, returned to his Saratoga Lake cottage to-day. While mentally deranged by worry and overwork, he wandered in the woods near Saratoga Lake and finally sought refuge in a barn, where he was discovered in an exhausted and dazed condition. The First National Bank was closed last Monday by a bank examiner under orders from the Controller of the Treasury. Mr. Bockes was reported missing at that time, his friends saying that he had not been seen since Saturday, when he was superceded by Robert F. Milligan as cashier of the bank. At the time of the bank's suspension, the directors issued a statement that it was at their solicitation and to ascertain the exact condition of the institution that the bank examiner took charge of affairs. A run on the Citizens National Bank, of this place, on last Saturday, is said to have influenced the directors in applying for an examination by federal authorities.
