The attorney of the Home Board assured us that there was a possibility of salvaging from the estate of the de faulting treasurer the sumc or $260- 000 or $300,000. However, there are ether creditors and It may be that al ter all the defaulting treasurer had borrowed heavily against his estate He h«d placed a second mortgage on Mr home and evidently came Into the possession of this money the day of hie disappearance. “1 have given the 11st of the whole matter frankly thal our people might know the fearful disaster that has t vertaken ua.
