cassie's Victim, the oberin Banker,
Passes Away.

Passes Away.
Oberlin. Ohio Feb &C. X Beck
with, president of the defunct Citi-
zens' National bank of this city, died
at 10:45 o'clock Sunday after two
days of Inconsistencies, during which
death was expected at any moment.
Only the family surrounded the death
bed of the banker.
Mr. Beckwith was about 65 years
of age. On December IA last the fed
eral grand jury in Cleveland returned
five indictments against Beckwith
upon the charge of violating the ma
tional bank laws in connection with
the loans made to Mrs Cassie L. Chad
wick by the Citizens National bank Of
Oberlin. of which deceased was the
president. From the day of his arrest
Mr. Beckwith's health rapidly failed,
as a result Of worry over his troubles.
He frequently declared during his ill.,
ness that he wanted to die. For sew
eral days prior to his death he refused
to take food in any form. Death re-
suited directly from heart trouble.
The death OF President Beckwith
may materially weaken the charge of
, forgery and conspiracy to misapply
bank funds now charged against Mrs.
Cassie L. Chadwick

osity has been. expressed as to who
belled the buzzard. and how and

Hall tied the bell. a small brass

a buckskin strap. Mr.. Ben Powell
now living In Hartwell, Georgia. held
the bird while Mr.. Burriss tied on the
bell. They were young men at the

as a boyish prank. That was 26
years ago. and the bird has been
carrying the bell around over the
country ever since, unless there Is
more than one belled buzard.
