CLOSING

According To authorities on the sub
ject. the coming week will find harvest
operations in the Walla Walla valley
practically at an end the great bulk
of unthreshcd wheat now in the fields
having been headed and stacked. On
some of the larger farms the COM
bines are still running, but the stand

MINOR HAS GONE.
Edison Employe Leaves Worthless
Checks and Note TOtaling $500.

Norman Minor, manager of the To-
peka Edison company's soliciting de-
partment, has disappeared leaving
| $240 in what are declared to be worth
less checks, drawn OH the Capital Ma
tional bank, distributed among mer-
chants of the city and an unpaid note
of $500 secured by another business
man.
1t was learned that Minor left for
Kansas City Saturday night. The
checks began to be refused at the
bank yesterday and creditors grew
anxious. It Is reported the Kansas
! City police have been notified to look
for him.
The bank answered an Investigation
of the police here that Mr.. Minor had
an account at the bank and that the
checks protested are Simply overdrafts.
No one. seems to know Where Minor
went One of the check holders, Mr.
August, called up his home and re-
ported that the wife was in tears and
did not know anything concerning the
whereabouts of her husband
Minor is of Jewish descent. He was
sent to Topeka Januay L. 1908, from
Chicago to take charge of the solicit
ing department by General Manager
l. e Movers of the Edison company.
In February of this year he was mar
ried to a Topeka girl and established
a home at 116 West. Eleventh street.
He is a good fellow and we'll met say
those who know Minor. He is said
to have furnished his house in elegant
style and lived luxuriously. His salary
of $3.50 a month is thought to have
proven inadequate.
The checks circulated run in amount
from SIX TO $35 Those who have
been learned to hold these include
Berkson Brothers, August, Felix &
Son. Palace, Edison company, Anti
septic Barber company. National hotel
and Hindman, the grocer.
The big note at the Merchants Ma
tiona1 bank was secured by I. M. B1itz,
who has pronounced his willingness o
pay it.

some money from his folks and that

gave no notice to the Edison company
that he was going away, and seems to
