Princeton, Ind Jan, 3L The developments in the failure of the Princeton Elevator company, which asked for a receiver Tuesday, have been along sensational lines and there i every prospect that the shortage of Henry E. Agar, secretary and treasurer, will reach (100,000, the assets dwindling and tha Indebtedness Increasing with every Inquiry Into the company's affairs, Visits to the various elevators oper ated by the company wera made by" the receiver yesterday and where there should be thousands of bushels of Wheat not a bushel Is to be found. Tha books show the receipt; of vast quantities of grain, but they do.

not account In any way. for Its disposal, and the secret possibly died with Agar In tha Wabash If, as supposed at tho time, he waa really drowned. Mr. Agar disappeared from a boat on the Wabash near Mount Carroel, I1L, one e6H ago: He was presumably on his way lo one of tha company's elevators to see whether It was In danger from the high water. It was bellaved that he accidentally fell overboard and was drowned, but subsequent developments, showing that his shortage Is over llOO.OOO'and may reach $130,000.

lead many to believe that he feigned failing overboard and really Jumped Into the river aid swam ashore. Others Incline to the suicide theory In the light of development and alt scout tbe Idea of accidental death. i VICTIM OF AN0FORD WRaXK. EARTH TREMORS IN INDIANA.
