fer the receivership of the State National

than before he retired 10 the farm. and
saws his health has greatly improved
Talking about the affairs of the bank,
there is u proba bIlity that a big dividend
will be paid soon. 1t seems that

policy of making the stockholders put up
the liability attached by law to their stock
the very first thing and If this policy is
carried out in this case the present re-
sources will be increased S75, 600 at low
estimate. This is what a stock holder told
ID reporter for the EAGLE last night and he

lions. He says that when the report o. the

A letter received from Newkirk. O. T.,
yesterday states that the body of young
woman was found floating in the Bodoc
river south Of Ponca City, and that she
was identified as Minnie Bidwell Of Wich-
tia
The circumstances, although meagrs. so
far as known point to the theory Of sui
eide.
Nothing was found about the body but
some envelopes and letters addressed to
her, in which such references were made
to Wichita as to warrant the officers in
believing that she had lived in this city.
There is no such name in the city
directory as Minnie Bidwell, but in
private directory which q reporter
for the EAGLE consulted the name Minnie
S. Bidwell was found and she received her
mail addressed in care of j. o. Davidson
at that gentleman's home at Riverside.
Mr. and Mrs. Davidson having moved to
Chicago, nothing concerning her could be
learned there. 1t was also learned
through q private source that Miss Bid
we'll left the city last fall aud probably
went to the Cherokee strip about the time
that country was opened to settlement.
The parties in Oklahoma through some
source learned that Miss BidwelPs parents
lived in Wichita, but could not find them
with a Telegram. II anybody has any in
formation concerning her or her relatives
they should submit it at once to this Office
