the latter. W. E.Ekartrwho lives on a
farm near Lacorob, Linn county, .came
In on an early train, yesterday morning
to establish hls-'identlty and auted poa
Hlrely that Me-wee. not the Smith of
whom the family was in deadlyfear and
who had made such dire threats against
them, declaring that he would wipe out
tha entire family. Mr. Ekart left Im

waa here 10 meet; tha Ekart family, but
arrived -too-late, stated positively that
this waa - not- the Linn county Frank
Smith, she having known him quite well
when a resident of that aectlon.
A resident of this city, L. O. Smith,
states that while living In Chicago a
few yeara ago he knew a Frank Smith
whose features and general appearance
resemble closely those of the dead des
perado, and he believes It is none other
than .the -Chicago - acquaintance, and
states that the man that ha knew waa
the "black sheep" of a good family and
that ha broke up hla mother, who was
fairly well-to-do. by hla numeroua ea
capades. and also came near breaking
up hla brother, who helped him out of
a number. ' To -establish this belief he
has written relatives of the man In Chl

whereabouta of tha Chicago man.
