sIZE-ITs NOTICEABLE FEATURE
A SPLENDID BUILDING FOR AN ACADEMY.
CHAsKA, June 80, 1859.
After had written this morning, came
down to look over this littlevillage It is the
county seat of Carver county, lies on the left |
bank of the Minnesota, two miles below Car
YER, and some five by road above Shakopee.
1t is about the same size of Carver, having |
about forty wel-built, good buildings. Three
of the buildings, two dwellings and store,
are brick.
There is large, handsome hotel building
here, but it is not wholly finished, and is not
kept as public house. The Register has his
Office in one of its large upper rooms. A
respectable hotel is kept by a Mr.. GREINER.
The noticeable feature of the place is
magnificent unfinished structure, designed
for court house. 1t is on most eligible
building site, overlooking the whole village.
The main part is SO by 80 feet, three stories
hish, to which is an ell, "a by 30 feet, three
stories high, over deep, dry, commodious
cellar. The building is of brick, and the work
is of superior character. The ell is covered,
and the floors partially laid. The main build
ing has the walls, cornice, joists, and window
frames all finished, but is not covered. The
basement story was designed for a Jail, and
the windows have the CRATES all in. 1t is a
very high story, and the whole is excellently
designed. 1t must have cost, already, six
thousand or seven thousand dollars. 1t is
pity and shame to let so much good pro
perty 90 to waste Nothing has been done
upon it for nearly two years.

Another Heavy Forgery-A Banke,
ytctimtzed I'm the Sum of $4,000

One of the best arranged plans for swind-
ling banker, by means of forged check,
was executed successfully, in Third street,
yesterday afternoon. The arrangement by
which the transaction was cOnsummated, rs
appeared from the developments made sub
segment to the discovery of the fraud, was
as follows: In the first place, blank check
was stolen from the check-book used by
Geo. G. Sledge, in his business with the
banking house of A. l.. Mowry, to which
the name of Mr.. Sledge was forged, the sig
nature being close imitation of the genu-
ine. The forgers evidently lacking infor-
nation as to the condition of Mr.. Sledge'
bank account, and anxious to avoid the
risk of detection that an over draft might
involve, entered the Office of Mr.. Sledge,
and took therefrom his handbook. A check
was then filled upon Falls, Brown Il Co.,
payable TO the order of s. ". Pike & Co.,
and signed j. II. Wood & Co., for $1,000.
To this the endorsement OF :. y. Pike 4 CO.,
was forged, and underneath, the name OF
George Z. Sledge was written in pencil.
Between IL and o'clock, a full grown
boy appeared at the counter of A. l.. Mowry,
with Mr.. S.,s bank book, and deposited

was taken without suspicion, everything
appearing quite regular. In this way Mr.
SIS account was made good to certainty
for $3, 900, About half an hour thereafter,
check purporting to have been drawn by
Geo. G. Sledge, for $4,000, was presented
and paid, the signature, as before remarked,
being close imitation Of the genuine.
About o'clock, or an hour after the money
bad been paid, the check of 81 II. Wood
| b Co." was sent to the house of Falls,
Brown b Co." for collection when it was
discovered that IL was bogus there being
no such firm. The character oftbe transac-
ton was then fully understood. Detectives
were at once called in, with view to ar
resting the forgers, If possible. The paying
Teller, and two or three other persons in
the house Of A. L. Mowry would recognize
the boy who deposited the bogus check, and
the young man who drew the money
although they were strangers TO them, and
this may lead to the discovery of the guilty
parties. Up to present writing, no arrests
have been made.-Cis. Gazette, llfh,
