it for public building at Carson City.

answered the member, ] ask Of you as

Another EIOpemsnt-FOrgery Committed to
.-'...-., Raise Money.
Yesterday tho IkTELLIaENCER gave
some account of the elopement of Gustav
Ehler, butcher, or this city. who left his
wife and child and eloped for parts uu-
known with a fair damsel from the lower
end of the county. ey..g.-, =, .-..aT-I II ,
To-day we have a somewhat similar case
to chronicle: Ferdinand Schaeffer, who
for the past six years has been . trusted
watchmau at the No. 3 cotton mill, re-
ceived . months pay on Saturday, since
which time nothing has been heard of him
by his friends. He is , married man.
having ! wife and three children living at
No. ;434 Lafayette street. Although he
had the entire confidence of his employers,
he had not the confidence of his wife, who
states that for more than year past be
has neglected her and his children, and
spent his time aud his money on
another woman. There is little
doubt that he . has m eloped with
this woman; and whether this be
SO or not, he has certainly left the
town under a very black cloud. It has
been ascertained that he forged the names
of s. 8. Spencer, II O. Kline and Of
Frederick Schlott, bis father, in-law, to
various orders on various merchants in
favor of various employees of the mill.
These forged orders Schaetter made use of
by either getting the goods they called for
or selling them for cash at discount. In
addition to his duties as watchmap,
Schaeffer was employed az q collector by
G. A. Offender and perhaps others to col
lect store bills due him. For four weeks
past MI. Offender has had no return from
him. though he had in his possession bills
to the amount of s4OO or $500. 1t is not
yet known how much of this money he
collected, but Mr.. Offender holds three
of his forged orders-one for
81 and two others. for s25 each.
1t is probable there are q great
many other bogus orders afloat. Since
Schaeffer's fight it is recalled that Mr..
Neeper, who is also a waIchman at the
mill, was twice robbed of his wages. When
the money was missed it was thought that
he might have lost it, but now it is be-
lieved that Schaeffer stole it. Other stories
to Schaeffer's discredit are also told. At
the last exhibition of the Lancaster poultry
society he was given an order on the treas.
ury for a IS premium. This order he raised
to SO, but the cheat was detected. He is
also charged with the larceny of several
valuable pigeons from two or three pigeon
fanciers of this city. ~
It is not known what direction he took;
nor how much money he took with him,
but his family and friends believe he has
gone to stay, and that he took woman
with him. .''
