THE KEYS AND ELLIOTI AFFAIR. —
This affair still continues to create a
good deal of talk and specu ation. It is
now stated on good authori y that both
Keys and Elliott have been in the
neighborhood until last Sanday. On
that day they 'were taken across the
lake to the American shore n a fishing
boat. Mr. Keys had to bprrow money
from some friends before leaVing to pay
the boatmen for taking them across, and
the families, of both men are said to be
in destitute circumstances. 1 The affair is
certainly a Imelancholy one. It is not
considered how by any person that either
Keys or Elliott made anything for them-
selves out of their fraudulent transac-
tions. They had for some time been
"selling short" in grain, the term
goes, and the rapid increase in price com-
pelling them to pay $1.75; tor wheat to
fill contracts which had b en made for
$1, threw them behind. T added. to
the fact that t ey are sup osed to have
paid other pre sing claims with money
which they ileceived for ithe purchase
of grain, will readily explain how
they got !so much -behind without in
any way benefitting themselves, notwith-
standing the several large sums they
procured fraudulently from1the bank and
other persons. Several farmers in the
neighborhobd have also turned them in
grain, for which they ave not been
paid. An agent of Mr. eilans, of St.
Catharihei, was in Bayfielda few days
ago, and visited several pa ties who had
sold grain to Keys, for the purpose of as-
certaining the kind of mo y it had been
paid in, and securing other evidence with
the view, it is supported, o taking legal
proceeding e to secure from the bank the
grain shipped from Bayfield, and which
was seized, at St. Cathari es.
