Onawa, Iowa, Sept. 21-The special
dispatch from Los Angeles, CAL
which appeared on Monday in an
Omaha daily, regarding the theft OF
$500 in money and the attempted de-
struction Of government and other Sc
curities belonging to DR.. VIM. w. Ord
way. of Los Angeles. is discredited by
his son, John S. Ordway, of Castana,
who is here attending court.
According to the dispatch, the mo-
tive for the crime Is alleged to have
been due to the desire of Mrs. Alice
Yeager, a housekeeper at DIR. Or'dway's
house, to obtain money with which to
return to her home at Mapletm, Iowa.
A case of grand larceny has been for
mally placed against Mrs. Yeager.
John Ordway, the son, says that he
had a telegram from his father on Fri
day intimating that an attempted rob-
berry had been made In his home the
same day, but with very small loss;
and saying that full particulars would
follow by letter. Mr.. Ordway also be-
lieves that only small amount Of
money was taken, as nearly all of his
fathers government bonds and valu-
able securities were left in Iowa for
safe keeping when DR.. Ordway return
ed to Los Angeles after visiting at his
former home near Castana, some
months ago.
Mr.. Ordway expects daily to hear
from his father explaining the at
tempt at robbery.
DIR. William w. Ordway Is widely
known In this part of Iowa, having
located near the old Castana post-of-
flee in an early day, and for many
years was the only practicing physi-
clan for Monona and most of the adj
jacent country. He amassed a large
fortune in time and is said to have
been the wealthiest man in Monona
county, being estimated as worth up
wards of a million dollars. Old age and
impoverished health, the latter follow
ing the great nervous strain. after a
a dastardly attempt to assassinate
him in his own house. about Christ
mas time, 1885, while he was in bed,
and in the severe fight for his life, in
which he was badly wounded, in time
obliged him to seek milder climate.
For years he has made his home at
Los Angeles, coming back to Monona
county quite often to his children.
Mrs. Yeager formerly lived in Maple
Valley, not far from Mapleton, where
she was raised, and afterwards mar
ried, and is personally known by mem
bers OF the Ordway family and others
around Castana.
John Ordway is a well known attor-
ney at Castana, Monona county, and
man Of the strictest integrity and uni
versally respected.
He declined ON being interviewed re-
garding the attempted robbery to ex-
press any derogatory opinion as to the
