lie and are working their way east.
They worked Baker City for only a
few dollars, according to reports to
date, but it wasn't their fault that
they did not get more.
Mrs. Fred Whitaker, of Center

she now holds with the endorsement
from the bank, mo funds" Others
had the opportunity of cashing checks
ina like manner, but those who have
reported did not get caught.
The work of the couple is smooth
and a sure winner. Most anyone
would bite and get caught. They ar.
rived in Baker City on last Sundays
train and went to Mrs. Whittaker's
boarding house. They wished to pay
for a weeks board in advance and
produced a check for 500. Mrs. Whit,
taker gave them 81 in change. Then
they went to the Commercial hotel
and tried the same kind of a propo-
sition, but they did not get the check
cashed. II is reported that they tried
other places. AS to the full success
of their enterprise, a full report has
not come in.
They left the city for the east the
same night they arrived. They rep.

Mrs. Whitaker thought it strange

splendor of his present life. 1t was a
new house TO suit the new man who had
been lucky enough to get rich. There
were spacious grounds beyond, and there
was a big room at the side. that was new
to Reuben Culwick since he had last
stood in his fathers house, and it was
this that he pulled up his horse to in
spect before turning into the carriage

Then he went rapidly along the drive,
drew up i'm front of the house. and step
ped lightly and briskly from the trap,
giving the reins to rosy-faced young
man in livery, who emerged from some
stabling in the rear, to be of service to
the newcomer.

the servant.
Yes, sir. He's with Squire Black of
Holston."
And you reign in his stead. Well,
we cannot all reign"
He knocked and rang. looking stead

Another new face-a smart young house
maid, whom he had never seen before, to
replace Mrs. Perkins, who was stout and
sallow, came to the door and admitted
him.
''Is Mr. Culwick in?''
Yes, SIR but he's engaged just now"
You will be kind enough to give him

hands behind him. and his hat in his
hands.
Presently the servant reappeared.
