cashier and directed to the Kinnilge
Bros. of New York. Whether he in
tends or not to pronounce this check a
draft swindle is not clear. but in his
letter he alleged that several banks
have been swindled. He says he knows
OF two or three and at the time of
writing he received a telegram from
the Ness City bank asking him Of Geo.

place. He asks the Eagle TO give pub

10 all Of them and rather than do in
justice to anybody their publication is
withheld for the present and until they
can be more clearly presented. That
three or four banks, at least, have suf-
fered there is no doubt, but by whom
cannot be intelligently stated at pres
ent as Mr.. Bourne does not fasten the
responsibility on anybody. Neither
does he state positively who George s.
Elwood and Frank Royse are, but they
must be local men to this section of the
state as he warns only bankers of Ok
lahoma and Kansas against them.
The only George S. Elwood known
locally TO be on terms of intimacy with
the Frank Royse mentioned is a citi-
zen of the Cherokee strip and man Of
some prominence there. He has con-
siderable land south Of Caldwell That
he is the man suspected by the banks,
whether justly or not, is evidenced by
the number of inquiries concerning his
whereabouts He is not at his home
at present and his Whereabouts are I'M
known at Medford. It is a matter Of
some regret that he is not at home as
suspicion will be attached to him. may
be wrongfully, until he is found and
clears himself of it. In converse ton

was stated that Royse did at one time
live in Oklahoma but that he is now
cashier of the Bank of Jamaica, This,
OF course. is not known to a certainty,
nor is it known that he is criminally
connected with the alleged swindle in
which both his and George s. Elwood's
names are used.
The only positive thing known is that
the banks have been swindled and that
is enough. 1t would not be surprising
If the losses through the swindle reach
ed into several thousand dollars.

attorney could not make his own wit

In MemOriam- Ella NJ. Breen.

In Ella NJ. Breen.
AS briefly announced in these
columns last week, Miss Ella
Breen died at Cottonwood on
May 2. She had been residing
with her parents at Spokane all
winter, and returned to Camas
Prairie in early spring to keep
house while her brother Ed. put
in the crop on the Breen farm near
Keuterville. For the past few
weeks Miss Breen had been suffer-
ing from la grippe, but her condi-
tiOn was not considered at all seri-
GUS. On the day of her death she
had apparently recovered her
usual health, but was taken with
a relapse, and while her brother
was away to return with the doc
tor the dear young lady died all
alone and unattended. This mel
oncholy ending of the life of this
young and beautiful girl is the
more affecting from the fact that
she was the only daughter and
the chief business adviser of the
Breen family. Not a letter was
written or any business PROPOSE
tiOn entertained until it had been
first submitted to and approved by
Miss Ella. She was only twenty
one years of age at the time of her
death, and had but few months
since completed her education at
the Sisters school at Walla Walla.
She was the soul of that hospitable
family and those who have had the
pleasure of being entertained by
the Breen's will in part realize the
loss which that open-hearted and
hospitable family have suffered in
the death of their beloved daugh-
ter. Miss Breen was an example
of unusual virtue and excellence of
character; she adorned her relig-
ious profession with a life of con-
sistence. She was kind, helpful
and charitable to all, and her con-
slant cheerfulness and hopeful dis
position made her the sunshine of
her home and the admiration of
her neighbors and friends. Words
of sympathy and coincidence must
fall coldly now upon the ears of her
devoted parents in their frstgush of
grief; but time, the great and gen.
tie healer of all wounds, will event.
ually console them with the knowl-
edge that perhaps all has happened
for the best. This is the subltest
of all mysteries; some call it Death.
Others name it Peace.
"she is not dead-the child OF our affection
But gone into that school
Where she nd longer needs our poor protection.
And Christ himself doth rule"
The remains were sent to SpO-
kane for final interment.

church will serve lunch of coffee,
sandwiches, cakes, ETC., at the Odd
