The johnson county Journal says: The
lowest trick we have heard Of for some time was
perpetrated on the ladies of the Sunday School
Mission last Thur-day evening An oyster
supper vas given for the benefit of said mis-,
sion and % cents per dish was charged for all
pirtakinR, A stranger came in and alto u
dish Of oysters, and having no change gave
the ladies n check for $50 signed by Il. l..
Alexander, as was supposed. a little boy
was sent out t. get the check csshed, which
was done by T. H.. Ide. Ths next day it WAS
learned that Mr.. Alexander had given no
C. eek for so and tn t his name had been
'orged. Tho sheriff was notified and n hunt
at once instituted for the cheeky stranger, but
it is thought that he will not be captured,
The mission will not allow Mr.. Ide to lose the
amount and as the supper only Melted IS or
81 it will fall quite heavily upon the society,
