en- to T. ]. Vandergrift, who has an

er that after forgeries had been dis
covered and bogus promissory notes

signature was attached, Vandergrift,
i'll Tue pTeS6HCe VI Ellis, anu dL tuS O1-
flee of the former, claimed to have
sent Ellis certain drafts. Since this
statement was made on the nineteenth
inst, Mr. Richie admitted, the bank
with which he is connected had receiv-
ed all the money back with the excep-
ton of about $4,000.
The attorneys for Ellis made siren
uous effort to secure the discharge of
the prisoner Magistrate Deuel., though
expressing the opinion that the case
against Ellis was not very strong, de-
cided to hold him for a time for the
purpose of allowing the complaining
witness further opportunity to produce
additional evidence.

the Izaak Walton club house, which
measured five feet two inches from
wing to wing. When extended it mea-

called blue crane, and winter in the
south. Longfellow, in THE Herons of
Elmwood," paints word picture of
this stately bird, full of its appreciation
of its beauty and the mystery of the
march.
