W. S. Wharton, the cashier of the bank of Heppner, who permitted a wlley stranger to bunco the bank out of $1200, spent last night In Pendle ton, leaving this morning, for Hepp ner. He had been In Walla Walla and did not know he had been swin dled until he reached this city. Mr. Wharton was accompanied by his wife. While here Mr. Wharton held a conference with District Attorney Phelps, but as the first thing to do is to catch the man, nothing of im portance resulted from the confer ence. The distrfict attorney has also communicated toy 'phone with the sheriff of Morrow county, and the lat ter official Is now putting forth every effort to land the swindler. It is probable that the bank will offer a reward for his capture. The following account of the swin dle was wired to the Oregonlan from Heppner, Saturday night: Officials of the Bank of Heppner found today they had been bilked out of $1200 by a suave stranger, who eave the name or james vnvia uu who represented that he had purchas ed for $20,000 cash the H. E. Burcn nell ranch near Lexington, this coun ty. Davis, on a fake deed .secured an Ahotract. which he presented to the bank and on which a loan of $1500 from a Sookane loan company was Kranted. Turning to W. S. Wharton, . - fl if--- '4 Coffee Always uniform our ri best product sold in 1 lb., 2 lb., 2 lb. and 5 lb. cans. Your grocer will grind it better if ground at hoin not too fine. , the cashier, Davis asked and reeiived a loan of $1200 in lieu of the $la00 from the Spokane company. Davis drew $800 !n cash and left $400 to his credit in the bank. Davis represented that he was go ing to Butter creek to buy horses, hut- continued on to Arlington, where he boarded a westbound train. This was last Sunday. Nothing more was heard of Davis until a $50 check, cashed by Davis at Salem, was presented here today for pay ment. The stranger reached Heppner two weeks ago and began inquiring for real estate. He stated to different parties that he was a farmer of the Willamette valley, but lived In Port land, and was desirous of buying a ranch In Morrow county. He gave the name of James Davis, and was Immediately taken in charge by Mose Ashbaugh, a real estate dealer, an& was given the name of H. E. Burch ness, a retired Morrow county farm er, who has a large tract of land ly ing Just north of Lxlngton, and is now living !n Portland. In a few days Davis gave out that ho had purchased the Burchnell land. He had deeds recorded and went to W. L. Smith, abstractor, and request ed a nabstract made of the entire tract of Burchnenll land. The deeds all seemed to be regular to the ab stractor, as they were all supposed to have been made In Portland before a notary public by the name of Nor man Butler, and witnessed by Wil liam Allen and David Jones, and were so sworn to by Butler. The cash consideration called for In the deed Is $20,000, or $25 an acre. Davis went to the P.ank of Hepp ner and turned over his abstracts showing the land to be free from all encumbrances and applied for a loan from a Spokane loan company, which was duly accepted. Then turning to W. 8. Wharton, cashier, Davis asked that Wharton loan him $1200 in lieu of the $1500 loan asked for from the Spokane concern. Instead of going to Butter creek, Davis hired a team from a local barn to drive to lone, but when he got on the road he asked the driver If he knew the way to Arlington and find ing that he d!d. then requested that he' (Davis) be driven to the latter plae. He took the train from Ar lington at about 4 o'elork, and noth ing more was heard of Mr. Davis un til yesterday, when a $50 check cam! In from Salem, whlrh had been cash ed there by the I'nlted States Na tional Bank by Davis personally. Ed.

Editor East Oregonlan, Pendleton, Oregon. Dear Sir: The student body of the Oregon state normal school at Mon mouth requests the courtesy of a hearing, through your columns, in re gard t) the normal school contro versy. We feel that our school and its faculty and students have been grossly wronged not only In the fail ure of the legislature to provide sup port but In the unjust nnd untrue statements published in many pa pers. The Monmouth school has been operated since January 1, 19u" wlrti init state funds. In addition, great publicity was given the fact that the board of regents had closed the In stitution in July 1907 for lack of funds and little notice taken of the fact that the same hoard accepted large donations from friends of the normal and re-opened It In August, 1907. These facts, coupled wrth tho natural fear of students and their parents that the school might be un able to complete the year, combined t shake confidence and made a hand leap almost insuperable. In spite of nil these adverse, the old "Monmouth spirit" rose to the occasion and alumni nnd friends raised and paid into the state treas ury six thousand dollars to enable the regents to carry on the school dur ing the year 1907-8. The local school district doubled Its special tax and added five thousand dollars. Tuition receipts amounted to more than three thousand dollars. The faculty do nated In salary reductions five thous and dollars, making a total provision of nineteen thousand dollars for the year's budget, not one cent of which was supplied by the state. A similar plan was followed for tho piesent year, 190S-9, only of necessity the resources were, more limited. Th local school district paid the salaries of the principal of the training de partment nnd of the four critics, and other expenses to the amount of five thousand dollars. Seven additional instructors were employed, five ac cepting the mere pittance of fifty dol lars a month nnd two. President Res sler and Mr. Butler, donating their services. The teachers' salary sacri fice this year amounts to nearly six thousand dollars. Tuition receipts will be above twenty-five hundred dollars. The cash donations will am onnt to over three thousand dollars, making a total for the year of about seventeen thousand dollars, with not a penny from the state. Last year, Monmouth students paid twenty-five dollars tuition, double the charges made at the other state nor mals and at the state university nnd agricultural college. This year, the students have cheerfully paid the same fee and when the regular ses sion of the legislature adjourned with out making an appropriation, a stu dent mass meeting was called, where one hundred ten students subscribed over fourteen hundred dollars in or der that the school should not be closed. Practically all of us are self supporting and gladly put up our hard-earned money both because we wanted normal training anif because we mean to stand by our dear old school to the very last. We are also self-respecting and re sent bitterly the unfair and untrue charges against our school. We know and every fair-minded person may know by the least Investigation that Monmouth is and has been a bonni fide normal school.
