today in search of such a list, and
having found none had been issued he
gave what Information he could to lo-
cal bankers. He put them on their
guard against accepting any such
notes that might be offered for cash.
1t is the belief of Parsons that an
effort will be made to peddle these
notes throughout the country.
Bank Has No Claim.
R. \. Downie cashier of the State
bank of Meriden, telephoned to the
State Journal office this afternoon and
stated that the bank had no claim on
the notes Becker lost.
According to Downie, Becker got
the papers out of his safety deposit
box in the bank and left Meriden Sun
day morning with them. He was go
ing to McAlester, Okla, where he was
to attend a netting of the creditors of
the Southwestern States Lumber COM
pany. Becker is one of the heaviest
creditors of the firm and also is an
official.
Belonged to Becker.
1.-The notes belong to Becker per-
sonally,' said Mr. Dowie, over the
long distance telephone. Il do not
believe they amounted to more than
$4,000, but I am not sure. 1 don't
believe they are negotiable
Becker did not say in his letter to
Newman whether or not the notes
were neotiable and so no one is able
to tell. Part of the notes wre given by
Southwestern Lumber company, 9TH
ers by the McCleary Lumber company
of Topeka, and part by other concerns
Topeka Notes Safe.
1.-The notes he had of our company
were non-negotiable now said c. G..
McCleery, of the McCleery-Dudley
Lumber company. They were only
for small amounts and duplicates of
them could be made
According to word received from
Meriden, Becker is a highly respected
citizen of the community, never
gambled and always was considered as
a highly respected man. He has lived
near Meriden for 80 years He has a
wife and three children
Becker a Rich Man.
Detective Tom Morgan, who has
been placed in charge of the case, said
that as nearly as he can learn the
separation of Becker from his money,
took place out of doors back of a bar
Der shop on East Fourth street, be-
tween jefferson and Adams, Satur-
day afternoon
He has no knowledge as to what
method was used, whether he was
strong armed or victim of q conf
dence gang
Becker is one of the wealthiest men
in Jefferson county. He is one of the
largest stockholders in the State bank
of Meriden and owns several big
farms He is a director of the bank

DOG AT RAT HOLE"
Armed Men Guard Mines Occupied by
Murderer.

Walsenburg, Col, Sept. 2S.-Armed
men today guarded every exit from
the Walsenburg, Cameron and Nc
Nally coal mines where the murderer
of Robert Mitchell, Democratic coun-
ty chairman and editor of the Walsen-
burg Independent, is believed to have
taken refuge. BlCodhounds today
went directly from the place where
Mitchell fell at his home last night
to an entrance to the Walsen mine,
which is connected with the others.
The authorities believe the murderer
is hiding in a section that has been
worked out and abandoned.
Men familiar with the mines de-
clare that one acquainted with the
workings might avoid capture for
days.
Mitchell was shot when he returned
home last night with his wife by some
one who is believed to have been en-
gagged in robbing the house.

The Honorable William Jennings
Price. U. S. Minister to Panama, has
arrived in Washington. After paying
his respects to the Secretary of State
and other dignitaries, he will go direct
to his home in Danville, where his
many friends will be so glad to see him.
Minister Price has the busiest post in
either Central or South America, and
has rendered such able service to his
country that he is now regarded as the
most efficient representative in the
Latin-American division. The writer
knows it to be fact that he is the
most beloved official among all Of the
foreign representatives in the City of
Panama. Under President Wilson'S
next administration his splendid work
will doubtless Oe rewarded with a
promotion to Ambassadorial honors. -
