notes said to bear the name of MI Carnegie are
now supposed to he in this city. in the hands
of Frank Lyon, of Cleveland. receiver of the
Citizens National Bank of Obern.

the signatures. But the receiver has not been
near Mr.. Carnegie, and no effort has been made
to enable Mr.. Carnegie to see the notes and pass
the signatures.
