LA GRAND BANK
IN TROUBLE
Suspicion as to Honesty
of Cashier.

Monday morning the Farmers
& Traders National bank Of La
Grande, failed to open its doors.
The refusal Of the bank to open
its doors was due to the fear of a
run caused by a general suspicion
that has been aroused as to the
honesty of tie banks cashier, J.
W. Scriber.
Last Friday n. K West, prom
iDent merchant of La Grande, re-
ceiyed notice from the First Ma
tional bank of Eigin informing him
that they held a note signed by him
for $4,000 and in favor Of the Farm
ers' and Traders national.
Knowing he had never issued
such note, Mr.. West called upon
Scriber to explain. He was then
Informed by ScIiber that the affair
would be attended to and for him.
West, to think no more about it.
However, Mr.. West was not sat-
isfed and securing an auto started
for Elgin to investigate. At the
same time Scriber also started out
bv auto for Elgin in hopes of beat
ing West to that place.
On the way to Elgin Vests auto
collided with buggy and as re-
suit Scriber beat him to Elgin by
half an hour. Reaching the bank
Scriber secured the note and the
Elgin bankers are now on-commit-
tai regarding the matter.
Saturday the news Of Vests ex-
experience became known in La
Grande and suspicion became
aroused as to the safety of fScriber's
bank. Some deposits were with
drawn Saturday, but not enough
TO affect the bank seriously.
Scriber is reported to be suffering
from nervous prostration and is i'll
at bis home. However, IN an in
terview with the La Grande Obser-
yer, he declared he weuld use all
his private means to protect the
banks depositors and furthermore
declared that the bank has ampla
means to pay off every depositor at
full face.
The last statement issued by the
bank September 23. showed the
bank to be solvent.
1t is the general opinion in La
Grande that receiver will be ap~
pointed to t4ke charge ofthe banks
affairs. However, it is not believed
the depositors will suffer at all un-
less further irregularities are dis
covered.
La Grande's other banks, of
which there are two, are in stronger
conditions than at any time in the
past. No fears whatever are en-
tertalned for their safety.

SAYS SHEEPHERDER
STOLE HIS WIFE

NORTH YAKIMA, Sept. 22.-Be-
cause she insisted on hugging and
kissing a sheepherder named ]. II.
McLain, against the remonstrances
of her husband. and because she
later eloped with the herder,
George NJ. Hyde has begun suit for
absolute divorce from Mary ].
Hyde and for the custody of their
one child, Georgia.
The unfortunate termination to
Hyde's domestic life resulted from
an act of kindness on his own part.
He and his wife were homestead
ing last fall when he met by
chance the herder with a band of
sheep, "swapped" magazines with
him and invited him to his shack,
saying that his wife was lonely
and didn't see many people.
McLain spent several days with
them and it was arranged that he
should return and spend the win
ter in the neighborhood, having
room in their shack. This he did
and this spring when he went out
again with a band of sheep Mrs.
Hyde departed in his company,
leaving her husband and little
daughter to shift for themselves.
The case will go by default.

RECOUNT SHOWS MINOR
PRIMARY VOTE ERRORS

Several minor errors in the
count of votes in the primary cleo
ton are transpiring in the recount
of the tally sheets. The errors in
figures are so immaterial, however,
that the results will not be af
fected.
The books of Damon precinct
are profuse with errors in the
count. H. H. Kulies. candidate for
lieutenant governor, was given
four votes by the reports of the
precinct committeeman when in
fact only three are recorded. D. A.
Clement, candidate for county
clerk, received SO votes, but was
credited in the poll books with
only 80.

REPUBLICANS.
SLOW To DIG

No campaign fund committee has
yet been appointed by Spokane re-
publicans, and there seems to be
no marked disposition to contribute
to the national fund now being
raised for the reason that there
is hard fight on locally and that
all the money that can be raised
here will be kept here to wage the
battle.
The state of Washington has
been asked to contribute 100000
to the national fund. Seattle's APP
portionment is $4,000, and of the
amount $4,000 has been contributed
and the same amount sent back. An
effort is now being made there to
raise the balance.
The direct primary is partly re-
sponsible for the apathy shown in
regard to contributions. The pre-
liminary fight to determine the
nominees cost is much money as a
regular election would, if not more.
On this account money which
would under the old convention
scheme have been used merely for
election purposes went through the
primary channel.
However, r. l.. Mccormick, ma
tional committeeman of the state,
is undismayed, and word from Sc
attic is to the effect that he will
organize campaign fund commit
tees in all the large cities.

NEW TRIAL DENIED

A motion for a new trial in the
case of the Spokane Canal Co.
against Henry NJ Coffman and
wife, for which motion was filed
September 8, was this morning
denied by Judge KEENAN, and the
case dismissed without prejudice
to either side.
The case at the time of first
trial was dismissed for lack of evi'
dence, the defendants having
shown that the canal company fail
ed to supply the amount of water
specified in the contract.

FOR
APPLE SHOW

Forty committees of from three
to 10 people each spread out over
the city this afternoon following a
rousing meeting of the national
apple show boosters. The COM
mittees have started out to collect
$4,000 additional money for the
apple show expense, and judging
by the enthusiasm at the meeting,
large part of the sum will be re-
ported in by this evening.
Originally the apple show plans
were for an Inland Empire attrac-
ton, then it spread to be a north
west show, then western show,
and now it is national affair,
with international symptoms.
Secretary H. J. Nicely started the
move to collect money for the big
ger show in an address in which
he set forth the needs of the show
and the prospects. He declared
that q carloads Of apples have
already been promised and to &C.
commodate these will require four
times the floor space the Armory
affords. So it will be necessary
to utilize all the space around the
Armory and house the rest of the
show in tents. Altogether six and
a half times the Armory floor space
is required.
All railroads have promised spe-
cial rates, but have not yet an
nounced what rates will be grant
ed. Excursions will be run every
day. At least 1000 people are ex.
pected to come from east of Mon
tana. The government will furnish
judges from the agricultural de-
partment, so every exhibitor will
feel sure that no prejudices will
enter into the awarding.
Mayor Moore made a brief talk

JUMPED
$4,000

A delegation of Fourth ward citi
zens will visit the city council to-
night to protest against the build
ing of a sewer in district of that
ward.
When the Fourth ward sewer dis
trict 4 was first under considera-
ton by the board of public works
the engineers Office made an esti-
mate of the cost at $4,000. This
was based on the excavation of the
sewer by machines, it is now
stated. Subsequent to this some
changes in the sewer were made.
and when a new estimate was sub
stituted, in which the cost was esti-
mated on the basis of excavation
by hand, the total was $4,000 The
contract as awarded by the board
of public works calls for an ex-
penditure of $4,000. The prop
erty owners kick on this increase
of the original amount.
At the engineers Office it is ex-
planned that the sewer was run in
the streets in order to lessen the
cost to the city of installing catch
basins for surface drainage. If the
sewer had been built in the alleys
numerous additional laterals would
have been necessary. The property
owners also protest this theory.

CALLED ONTO
THE CARPET

McCracken and Corcoran, the
two members of the labor temple
committee who yesterday stated
that there was a possibility of dis
ruption of the Central Labor union
on account of the investigation
against leaders accused of political
grating, were taken onto the car
pet at the meeting of the Central
Labor union last night and asked
for an explanation. Both are re-
ported to have denied that they
had made the statement.
The statement was made as
quoted, and just why they deny it
does not appear, unless they fear
that a reiteration will get them into
trouble with other union leaders.
Aside from this incident the bust
ness transacted by the central la
bod body was to hear report of
the graft investigators, who sub
mitted their affidavit against
Thomas Joyce, whom Gordon Cor
bailey swears demanded $500 from
Henry Mcbride. The committee
reported that it had a lot of other
alleged grating yet to get to the
bottom of and was authorized to
proceed with its work.
1t was stated that among those
who gave up to the grafters were
county candidates who might not
support the issuance of a warrant
against the grafters. This was dis
cussed by the central body. 1t was
declared that the matter is to be
sifted to the bottom.

ministration.
Archbold talks of jealousy of lit
tie merchants in their attitude to-
ward larger rivals, and said a lit
tie merchant may violate the law
with "a big rival, though the law
violated was probably dead let
ter, and attention would be drawn
to the action of the big merchant
by the press. The result was that
business men are held up by al
legged lawmakers with just enough
sense to drawn up an ordinance
which is duly submitted to fellow
lawmakers. Though the ordinance
is unjust, it is dropped after dis
cussion and the matter will go
along all right until another pol
itician gets hungry"
Archbold declares he is not a
gambler, and that 100 shares of
stock represent his dealings in
