, was arrested in connection with the
blowing up of Canadian-Pacific Rail-

before this check was ISSUED the Ger
man embassy paid $4,000 into Captain
Won Papen's account.
Captain Won Papen's check stubs,
bank books and letters from His bank,
the Riggs National Bank of Washing

OF which had to do with routine expen-
,ditures. Others, however, revealed
payments to various persons who have
figured prominently in the activities
of German agents in America.
Several large payments were made
to Captain Won Papen by Count Won
Bernstorff. Most of these were for
salaries or bonuses. "A number of en-
tries showed payments made by the

E. l.. OLWELL'S AFFAIRS.

Nov. 18th, 1916.
Editor OF the Coulee City Dispatch:
In order that authentic information
may be available to those interested in
stead of the many baseless rumors flying
around with reference to the affairs of
E. L. Dwell will you kindly publish the
following statement:
Owing to the scarcity of cars and the
high price Of wheat, large sum of money
was tied up by Mr.. dwell in the wheat
on hand; and the matter reached point
where in order to finance the business
properly, the Coulee State Bank deemed
it advisable to take change of affairs,
accordingly Mr.. dwell executed trust
agreement, turning his property over
temporarily to Mr.. j. B. Peterson, CASH
Ter os the bank. The business will be
conducted just exactly as if Mr.. dwell
were personally in charge until such a
time as the wheat can be shipped out
and turned into money and the creditors
paid. Their number is very small.
The property available far exceeds the
liabilities, and there is absolutely no rea-
son for anyone's saying that Mr.. dwell
is broke or anything Of the kind. There
is no question in my mind but that af-
fairs will adjust themselves satisfactorily
and that the wheat and other. liquid as
sets are more than sufficient to cover all
liabilities without any necessity for
touching the large amount of other per-
sonal property owned by Mr.. dwell and
included in the trust estate
Any impression that Mr.. dwell has
absconded is absolutely without founda-
ton. He has left to attend to some
things away from here mainly that the
Trustee might not be embarrassed by his
presence, but we are in constant touch
with him and should we need him for
any reason, he is ready to meet any re-
quest we may make for his return.
/ might add that any nsinuation that
the matter is serious to the condition or
standing of the Bank is ridiculous.
Yours truly,
II. j. Hibschman.
