The 7-year-old son of Mrs. Helen McLean was kidnapped at Seattle, by her divorced husband, Gerald S. Mc- Lean. Mrs. McLean secured the di 1 vorce two years ago in Pendleton, Or., on the ground of failure to sup port. She retained the child and al lowed it to bo placed in the' care of a guardian for a short time, but on ' rtmittn tr f r- "X"7r cli i i tr trr alio nrlr li nv IllUt illg IU lUlllllllUU ouv not son with her, and settled at Fremont, near Seattle. Her former husband found out her whereabouts, and in October he se cured work near her home. He pre vailed on Mrs. McLean to allow him to take the child out for short walks. She did not suspect any intention on his part of taking the child. She even consented to have the boy away over night with him. McLean took hsi son away on Saturday night and went with him to Pendleton, their former home. 'Mrs. McLean learned where he had gone and was informed that tho boy's father had begun pro ceedings in the Oregon courts to transfer the guardianship to himself. The courts have not yet rendered their decision. As the case stands now, McLean is in the possession of the child, but he cannot return with him to Washington for fear of being apprehended. The above, a Seattle dispatch, has reference to the item published in the East Oregonian Saturday, saying thot G. S. McLean had asked thc court of Umatilla county to award him the custody of his 7-year-old son, who was given into the care of J. T. Brown, of this city, in 1900, when the court dissolved the marriage vows existing between Gerald S. McLean and Mrs. Helen McLean. The real guardian of the boy, For est McLean, appointed by the court, was Mrs. Elizabeth McLean, his grandmother, but owing to the fact that she then lived in Washington, but was expected to come to Pendle ton to reside, Mr. Brown was given temporary custody of the boy, and when the grandmother failed to come, as was expected, he gave the boy Into the care of the father. Mr. McLean and the boy then left for Washington and the mother in some way got pos session of the boy. Then suit was brought In the Spokane county courts by J. T. Brown, in behalf of the fath er, to again get possession of the boy, but the courts of Washington return ed him to the mother. She kept the little fellow for a while, and when Mr. McLean went to Seattle she let him take their child out for walks and finally consented to let him go and stay with the father all night. It was then that father and son loft Se attle and came to Pendleton, arriving here only a tew days ago. Upon their arrival suit was brought in the courts here by G, S. McLean to- get legal possession of tho child. His request, made through his attorneys, was just about to be granted, the judge getting ready to sign the papers to this effect, when Peter West, attorney for Mrs. McLean, arrived In tho court room, ho having just received a telegram from his client asking if tho father had arrived here with tho boy, and he immediately put a stop to tho whole proceedings. This, It is understood, will .bring the enso Into court again, and what will bo tho end yot remains to bo seen. AUDITED THE BOOKS. False Reports Set at Rest by an Ex amination of the Records of the Su preme Encampment A few weoks ago qulto a flurry was caused among the memhorB of tho Pioneors of the Pacific in Pendleton, over tho whispered report that per haps some of tho funds of tho order hail been used by tho officers In charge of tho monoy without having kept a record thereof: This caused qulto an eruption for a few days and at one time It looked as though the squall wns going to break Into a Btorm, but it was kwpt as qulot as pos sible and every effort made to keep it from gaining publicity. Those who started tho ball rolling said they would not stop until a thorough in vestigation was made and the hooks were mull tell and gone over by an expert. They nlso demanded that more care be taken in bonding the officers and that every man who han dled any portion of the funds, or was in the least responsible for the run ning of its fluanclnl affairs, be placed under heavy bonds. This lias been done and the books audited by Roy W. Itlttner, of the Pendleton Savings Bank, an expert accountant, who re ported ns follows: Mr. Ritner's Report. To whom it may concern: At the request of tho board of control of the Supreme Encampment, Pioneers of the Pacific, I have examined the books of the supreme office and beg leave to make the following report: After carefully auditing the books of the supreme scribe, from the time the order was founded, four years ago to the present time, I have been able to find no error or irregularity in them. I have compared the monthly reports made by this officer with the records and find that they coincide and that the supreme scribe has on file receipts for all the funds turned over by him to the supreme treasurer. I found that the cash book, journal and ledger are especially designed for the use of the order and are neatly and accurately kept. . In striking a balance from the books at the present date, I find that it agrees with the amount of cash on hand to the credit ol the supreme treasurer in the First National Bank of Pendleton. I have checked over all of the scrip and other assets on hand and find them to agree with the fig ures of the supreme auditor. The board of control complied with every request which I made in regard to examining the books, balances and warrants, and invited further invest! gation, which I did not have time to make nor did I consider it necessary. It Is my opinion that the business of the supreme encampment is con ducted in a safe and satisfactory man' ner. I would recommend, however. in order to disarm suspicion and pac ity those who are disposed to criti cize, that the books of the supreme encampment be examined by a com petent committee at least every six months.

Will Attend the Regular Meeting at Leadvllle and Return About March 5th In Time to Take Part In Work Here. Mrs. C. C. Van Orsdnll, accompan ied by Grand Manager Cora Wilson, of Pullman, Wash., loft on Monday evening's train for Leadvllle, Col., to attend the regular meeting of the board of grand managers of the Wo men of Woodcraft. Mrs. Van Orsdall will return about March 5, to give her, personal attention to the Women of Woodcraft side of the April log-rolling. Asked as to what important mat ters would come before the board, Mrs. Van Orsdall said: "The two most important matters will be the investment of the accu mulations of the equalization fund, and the fixing of the lines of the con vention districts whore made neces sary by our growth. "The district conventions composed of delegates from the circles will moot in June and choose grand delegates to the grand circle session, which meets in August, in Cripple Creek. Our order is based on the good old democratic principle of representa tive government. The grand circle session does the law-making and elects the grand officers. "We will have, I estimate, at least $20,000 to Invest, if we find the se curltles prescribed by our laws. This, in addition to the $42,000 already in vested, will bring our equalization or reserve fund up to a handsome figure. Ye will also make an additional in vestment in May. "My report, which I will make to the board, shows an increase In mem bership since August, 1900, of over 83 per cent. I confidently expect the per cent increase will reach 100 for the term which closes in August. "You can also say that my office has mailed 0500 letters since Decem ber 10, through the Pendleton post office, and I hope my stamp purchase will hurry up the free delivery in Pendleton."
