PlOUS FRAUD GOES TO DEATH
Man who Deceived Two Continents
Under Cloak of Religion
FuInlIs Prophecy.


LONDON, March 31.-(Special Cablegram
to The Bee.)-According to intimate friends
Of Edward Rufane DonlIin he was not as
he claimed during his lifetime. a grandson
Of General Sir Rufane Shaw DonSin and
Lady Donkin, the daughter of the late Dr.
Markham, dean OF York. but rather he was
the illegitimate son OF one of the great
ecclesiastics OF London and lady, mem
ber Of one OF the noble families of Eng
land, almost royal in fact In order to
prevent scandal which would have
reached almost to the foot Of the throne
itself the Donkin family has kept the
secret locked In their breasts. They have
been compelled to keep silent In connection
with many Of the misdeeds Of one Of the
most brilliant intellocts Of the age through
loyalty 10 religion and country.
Donkin in his time played many parts,
but the only one which he appears 10 have
played with final success and without con-
trovcrsy was that of prophet. only three
weeks before his death he wrote to a mum

death was such that unless he fooled the
whole world to the very last he did not
commit suicide and thero has not been the
slightest suggestion that he could have
killed himself. notwithstanding the strange
prophesy IN connection with his death
Donkin must have descended from long
line OF ecclesiastical ancestors, so kindly did
he take to theological discussions in all Of
their various forms. Under the cloak of
religion-and he changed his religions as

TOXIC. March S.-(special Cablegram
to The Bce.)--The subject of the natonali-

The subject has long been discussed, but
its magnitude has compelled a postpone

all Of the burdens OF the recent war with
Russia pressing down with almost crushing
financial weight is to sONe the problem.

have been redeemed the annual revenue

will reach $27, 0OOOV. It is argued that the
plan will promote industry by economizirg

Japanese newspapers that this plan was

assistance and advice.

NARROW ESCAPE
Frank Moore, Ranchman Injured in
A Runaway This Morning that

1t was a remarkable escape that
rancher who resides east of the city.
had this morning from an awful
death or terrible injury. The acci-
dent that he met with will not soon
be forgotten by Mr.. Moore.
The ranchman started to town this
morning with big load of sugar
beets. While coming along the up
per Palisade road his horses became
frightened at some surveyors and
started to run with the heavily loaded
wagon.
In running over the end of a cul-
vert Mr. Moore was thrown from his
seat and as he fell one foot caught
in one of the wagon wheels and was
wedged between the spokes. Remark
able to relate Mr. Moore was thrown
over and over several times with the
revolutions of the wheel as the wagon
moved at lively gait. Struggling
frantlcally however, Mr. Moore final
ly. succeeded in wrenching his foot
from the wheel leaving the shoe
sticking between the spokes.
Some people who saw the accident
came to his assistance and he was re
moved to a ranch home and DR.. p.
p. Collins was telephoned for The
physician hurried out and found that
Mr.. Moore was suffering from many
bruises and painful cuts and Sc
we're shock but had not been serious
ly injured. He will be able 10 be out
again in a few days. That he did not
have a leg broken of torn on while
being whlriled around with the wheel
is a wonder. Naturally Moore was
pretty badly frightened.
The team was stopped after run
ming some distance. the horses were
not hurt. the wagon was not badly
damaged but sugar beets were seat
tered along the road for over mile
or more.
