"A few days ago Bank examiner Sanders, as is is wont, dropped quietly in at the Carrollton, Kentucky National Bank and began an investigation.  Yesterday he filed his report with the proper authorities in Covington, and what it contained is known only to himself and perhaps is present custodian.  The contents, however, may be surmised when it is known that since Mr. Sander's appearance at the bank, it's gentlemanly cashier, Mr. J. N. Vance, has disappeared, and the rumor has gained credence that $5,000 of the bank's funds has disappeared with him."  Cincinnati Enquirer, September 18, 1888.     More Here.
