SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 23.-
Nathan Seeley of Redlands, while go
ing home from San Bernardino last
night, was twice the victim of would
be hold-up men, and is not caring to
repeat the experience. When about
half way between the two cities, max
ing the trip on horseback, he was sud-
denly confronted near Idyllwild by a
hold-up man who suddenly dashed out
of the brush on a gray horse. The fell
low ordered Seeley to throw up his
hands, but Seeley did not and put the
spurs to his horse, which dashed by the
would-be robber and soon left him dis
tanced. Seeley expected every moment
to be shot in the back but was not.
About a mile further on a strange
man dashed out of the brush and
grabbed for the bride of Seeley's horse,
at the same time commanding him to
stop. Again the animal made dash
ahead and got away from the robber.
Seeley then got home as quickly as
he could, having all the experience
with hold-up men for one night that he
wished for.

DIRE PROPHECY MADE BY A

Geo. Y. Wisner Declares That Within
Twenty Years Thousands of People
VIII Be Driven Out by Water and
Great Inland Sea Will Cover Homes
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
DETROIT, Sept. 23.-Disastrous re-
suits from irrigation in the Imperial
valley in Southern California were pre-
dicted by George Y. Wisner of Detroit,
an engineer of national reputation and
member of the International Water
ways commission, last night. Mr..
Wisner was speaking before the De-
troit Engineering society.
within twenty years thousands of
people who have taken up government
lands in the Imperial valley will be
driven out by water, their homes and
fields forming the bottom of an i'm
mense inland sea.
"The cause of the coming catastrophe
is poor engineering in diverting the
course of the Colorado for irrigation
purposes. The river has cut into the
banks of it's new course to such an ex-
tent that nearly all of the Colorado
river flows down into the valley.
1.-THE engineers realize the danger,
but after many frantic efforts have
failed to change the rivers course back
to it's old bed.
mot for twenty years will the evapo-
ration down there be equal to the in
flow into the valley. BY that time mill
lions of acres of the valley, which is
from so to 265 feet below the sea level,
will be covered by an inland sea-

to whether 1t was a case of suicide, ac-

stated that Hickinbotham did not have
any trouble with his wife when he left

FOUR BANKERS

SALMONS HELD ON SEVERAL
COUNTS
Missouri Grand Jury's Action Based
on Confession of Cashier Casey.
Bank Failure Ruins
Many Farmers
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press
CLINTON, Mo-, Sept. 23.-The grand
jury, which has been investigating the
failure of the Salmon & Salmon bank
of Clinton, today returned indictments
on thirteen counts against Thomas M.
Casey, formerly manager of the bank,
who confessed at the time of the fail
ure to using forged notes for securi-
ties. Major Harvey w. Salmon and
bank, were indicted on six counts each,
and r. M. Salmon, the former clerk
of the bank, was indicted on four
counts.
The Salmons for many years have
been among the most prominent men in
Missouri. Major Harvey w. Salmon
came to Clinton in 1866 and has since
then been connected with the banking
business and been prominent in state
politics.
Dir. Salmon, who is nearly so years
of age, has not been actively connected
with the bank for many years.
The bank of Salmon & Salmon, which
was one of the oldest and considered
for many years one of the strongest in
the state, failed on June 81 last. The
institution was owned by Major Salmon
and his brother, DIR. G. Y. Salmon.
The failure caused sensation, which
increased when later it became known
that Cashier Casey. who is DR.. Sal
mons son-in-law, and who practically
had chief charge of the bank, had con-
fessed to having forged securities
amounting to upward of 100000.
While the bank had deposits of about
$685., 900 and it's loans amounted to 1884,
900, but $4,000 was found in the insti-
tution's vaults. Many farmers and
others who had had explicit confidence
in the bank, lost practically all they
possessed.
On August 81, following meeting of
depositors, Frank M. Salmon, son OF
DR.. G. Y. Salmon, was formally
charged with receiving deposits when
the bank was in an insolvent condition
