In city the size of Ottumwa, rail
road center, as this is, II is not nn'
reasonable to expect large floating
|population who have little money and
less morals. In addition to our bur-
glars, sneak thieves and other lawlest
characters we have to add the crime
of forgery. 1t may be well for us t.
state just here that these people will
a few exceptions belong elsewhere
The past has been recorded, and
the culprits as rule are in fair way
of receiving their just deserts. This
afternoon a man by the name of VIM
Doty, in company with man by the
name Of Harry Taylor, both claiming
to hail from Des Moines, with bold
ness worthy a better cause, perpetrat-
ed forgery on our old friend Sam.
uel Park. This forenoon, this man
Doty presented an order to J. G.
Meek, the purport Of which was that
the bearer was to have q new pair
Of boots, and such other goods
as he might choose to
select. The fellow was very
generous, and only took up $40 or $l2
on the open order. He was not con-
tented with this small affair, but pre-
sented an order to C. Sax Il Bro. for
suit of clothes and trunk. Mr.. Sax,
of course, knowing Mr.. Park to be
amply able to pay his debts, was very
willing to honor his order, but took
tie precantion to inquire how it hap.
pened that no amount was specified.
This was satisfactorily explained, the
goods bought, tha trunk packed and
taken away.
In the meantime, Mr.. Meek, think
ing perhaps that all might not be
right, from the fact that the order
was an open one, visited Mr.. Parks
place of business, and there found
that the order was forgery. He
Immediately set the officers OH the
track; and after long run
they captured Doty about a
half mile the other side Of the North
Missouri Il. r. bridge.
He was brought back to town and
here told the whole story. Taylor
wrote the orders and Doty issued
them. Failure was not taken into
consideration. After obtaining the
goods poty was to take the st. l.. II.
G. 81 N. train and when he observed
Taylor by The roadside swinging his
hat he was to stop at the next station,
and leave the trunk until Taylor
joined him. That is the story he
told and seemingly with the greatest
earneslness. Marshal Davis will keep
the appointment for him, and the
probabilities are that these roosters
will next be heard OF in Ut. Madison.
Doty is young man about % years
of age, Of ordinary height and APP
pcarance and would be the last per-
son one wonld select to commit for
gerry of this sort in broad daylight.
Doty is in jail.--SaturNdy's Daily,

many people in town are now expert
menting on their cabbages in that

saw neighbor sailing his cabbage,

outdone in any new fashion by a
blarsted American, so he sailed his
cabbage and potatoes, and thought il
might be good for sweet potatoes
also. So he gave them dose; and
now he won't be comforted, for those
sweet potato vines look as though
they had been struck by blast from
the Arctic regions-they are totally
used up.

| EDITOR OF OTTUMwA DEMOCRAT -
Dear Sir:-By your issuo of the
28th inst, commenting ON the letter of
ex-Confederate Captain Ragland, you
say with considerable confidence that
the Seth Iowa Regiment was not in
Georgia.
Let me free your mind in regard to
that matter, and ! speak from author
ity because Of positive knowledge
when l state that the 36th Iowa was
at Alatoona, Georgia., on the 9th day
of October, 1864, when that place was
attacked by Gen. French's division of
the Confederate forces under Hood.
The Seth was commanded by Col.
Drake and my company, &, was COM
mandsd by Capt. Thomas NJ. Fee.
Our men fought we'll and held the
fort, but we lost two stands of colors.
Col. Drake and Capt. Fee reside in
Appanoose County, Iowa.
Please give this place in your col
umns. Respectfully,
CHARLES SMITH,
Private Company G, 36th Iowa In
fantry, Clinton, No.. June 9th, 1877.
Capt. Evans, of the Ottnmwa DEM
ocrat, has kindly furnished us the
above letter. We would in reply say
that we respectively occupied the pos
itions of First Lieut.. Of Company E.,
and Major Of the seth Iowa, and that
said regiment never was in Georgia at
any time during the war. Part of the
regiment was at Little Rock, Arkan-
sas, but larger portion were prison.
ers at Tyler, Texas, on the 9Th day of
October, 1864. Mr.. Charles Smith
either never was a member Of the
regiment or else he is now lunatic.
There was Charles A Smith, re-
cruit in Company G, enlisted in Dec.
1868, that might have wandered over
to Alatoona alone, and thought he
was in the a6th Iowa, but the regi-
ment never was at that place.
