Manager and a Stockholder Accused of Embezzlement. THE COUNTY MONEY TIED UP. Failure of an Attempt to Count Suohomish County Seat Vote. The Tacoma Water Swindle Likely to Be Thoroughly Investigated-Sulcide of a Girl at Latah-Woman Drowned at New Westminster-Wardner Strike. ABERDEEN, Nov. 26.-(Special.]-Today Charles Wappenstein, a prominent stockholder in the Aberdeen bank, filed a complaint in the superior court of this county, at Montesano, charging W. P. Book, expresident and principal stockholder in the Aberdeen bank, and G.S. Thomas, manager of the same concern, with embezziement and misappropriation of the bank's money. Mr. Wappenstein also asked that a receiver be appointed for the bank. When County Treasurer Lewis, at Montesano, heard of these proceedings, he had several thousand dollars of county funds deposited in the Aberdeen bank, and to protect them drew a check for $3,200 in favor of the Bank of Montesano, with instructions to collect at once, President Carr and Cashier Lamb, of that institution, started at once for this city car at 1 by ahead hand of the warrants, to present reaching their here check p.m. They presented the check, but dilatory tactics were pursued by Cashier Thomas, who stood them off until closing time, when payment was flatly refused, and they were told to wait until morning. At o'clock this evening Sheriff Graham arrived with the warrants and arrested Book and Thomas. It is generally understood that the bank will not open tomorrow. The Aberdeen bank is the oldest on Gray's harbor, and was organized in 1887 with a capital stock of $50,000. A. J. Kroenert is president and W. P. Book, C. F. White, A. J. Kroenert and G. S. Thomas are directors. There has been a lack of confidence in the condern for a long time, owing to rumors now shaping into facts. So this move does not occasion great surprise. The deposits are not known, but they are not heavy. It is generally considered that, if a receiver takes hold, a proper handling of the assets will satisfy all liabilities.
