Bank Examiner Gatch Is in charge and
is making a. careful and painstaking
examination of 4h hanw'a affair .. ;
at this time positively refuses, to make
any statement. Rumors are many and
of a varied sort. When they are run
down they usually develop into mere
Vapor, but enough has been found out
regarding somo of Scrlbe.r's transac
tions to warrant the assertion that the
N. K. Went note was not the only pa
per of Ha kind issued which bears the
stamp of forgery; It has been gener
ally known in certain circles, almost
from the first, that the names of the
Grande Ronde Iliecrtlo company had
been used to the extent of a $2&00
note; the name of J: D. Casey of Hil
gard, to the fextent of $1500, and to
day It is learned, than another well
known business firm of this city had
been used to the extent of $iooo.

that these, amounts have; all been
