About the middle Of August two mild.
naanered men came here, ostensibly from
New Orleans, and pretended to be eiga led
in buying cattle for that market. They
gave their names as Collins and s. Steele,
and stopped at Mrs. Boswell's. Steele,
kept his room most Of the time. Hls
reason for doing 30 is now apparent: He
is the same chap that was sentenced to the
penitentisry for robbing mails on the v.
& NJ. r. T., but was pardoned out, and
was known by some of u citizens. Mrs.
Boswell kept them a week and asked Tor
what was due her. This put the scamps to
work, and they conceived the idea of forg-
ing q draft to make a raise. They dated
their draft Summit, Miss, drew ON r. NJ.
Float, New Orleans, for $i3, signing J
c. Gulledge to il. 1t was made payable to
The order of 8. Steele. Steele endorsed it
and gave it to has partner Collins to nego
tate. Collins asked Mr.. s.. Kohlmau to

asked him to send the draft TO bis merchant
for collection, and when collected pay him
the amount. Mr.. Kohiman complied, and
upon hearing that the draft had been
honored, paid Collins ~s43. Upon receiv-
ing the money they paid Mrs. Boswell and
departed eastward.
Monday last Mr.. Kohlman received a
letter from his house returning the draft,
stating it Was a forgery and that they had
returned to Mr.. Fioatt the $43. A runner
got afioat as soon A. the drah was sent to
New Orleans that it &aa . forgery, and
Mr.. K. advised his house ~ telegraph to
return, the draft, but they failed to do 80,
