Story City, April s.-As the facts
are coming out in regard to the defal-
cations Of Cashier NJ. ]. Swan. Of the
Citizens Bank. It appears that the
bank will not be able to resume bus
mess and that depositors will lose
heavily. Among the depositors are
young women who had entrusted their
savings of years in the bank and these
will suffer keenly from the failure.
With the money borrowed during
the days previous to NJ. j. Swans de-
parture and the cash taken from the
bank, the cashier is believed to have
in his possession q considerable sum Of
money Swan kept his board OF trade
losses secret from his father until the
$4,000 overdraft on Chicago bank
was revealed.
Mrs. Swan gave birth to baby Sat
urday. and her condition is fairly good.
Much sympathy Is expressed for her
and for the aged father. who probably
will be left penniless. So far no effort
has been made to locate the missing
man. Swan told his intimate friends
that he would never come back to
Story City alive.

Eldora, April S.-A rather unique
spectacle was afforded our citizens
Sunday afternoon when John w. Ken
dali, wife and two children, claiming
Burlington as their home. marched
into town. mud footsore
and weary. They Immediately applied
to the city authorities for assistance In
the way of food and shelter.
The old man, now In his 6Sd year.
gave an interesting story Of his life.
Some years since he left his home In
Burlington for Nebraska, where he
hoped to take up homestead and be-
come plutocrat by virtue OF the
wonderful stories told him Of that
lands productiveness by land shark.
The little family reached Nebraska
and began work on the farm which was
to prove the home and in the filling OF
whose soil was the elixir of life and
the cultivation of which land was to
give to them pot Of gold.
Get Out or starvs.
The old man said that the soil there
which he had confidently hoped would
bring him wealth would not in fact
raise white beans and that 100 acres
would not produce enough in a year to
keep canary over night. Kendall fn-
ally found work on a railroad section
at $1.25 per day, and then realizing
that this amount would not sustain
the needs Of his family, he decided TO
again move back to Iowa. starting on
the long journey In one-horse rig.
Upon reaching Sioux City the old
horse, weary with its burden and scant
food, was called to its last resting
place. Then the family took up the
trail on foot, walking something like
twenty miles per day.
Kendall states that he has sister
in Burlington and that If permitted to
reach there again, no amount Of per-
suasion will ever induce him to leave
the land of promise because Of the
soft-pedal stuff proclaimed by land
agents. The old man and his family
left this morning on the journey to
relatives in Burlington, satisfied as
was the prodigal son that home was
not such a bad place after all.

Cedar Falls, April 81. c. Mercer

for shipment to that point for local
consumption. He also bought car
load of hay from L. c. Paul & Son. He
purchased several cars Of Black Hawk
county corn. He says the Grouth last
summer not only prevented the raising
Of anything in southern Illinois. but 1t
ruined the fruit prospects for this year.
This is a great strawberry country and
the dry weather killed all of the plants.
Fruit trees. tested in hot houses, refuse
to put forth fruit buds because the
dry, hot weather of last year destroyed
the fruit buds for this season. He says
the corn raised in the northern part
of Illinois is worthless because Of the
poor condition it was in at gathering
time. Mr.. MERGERS brother-in-law.
who is an extensive farmer neer
Bloomington, gathered 700 bushels Of
seed corn before the frost and wet
weather last fall, stored it where it
kept from freezing all winter and the
other day sold the entire 700 bushels
for $500 to big seed house. He says
seedmen are selling seed corn for 81
