after being in custody for several hours,
gave $1,000 bond The alleged forgery
is peculiar one. Ex-Presldent and now
Convict Geo. Waugh drew a draft on a
fictitious party in Colorado for 5000
Harrison took the draft to Will
liam Mccain, who lives out on
Elm creek, and obtained his signature
thereon for Endorsement, Mccain claims
he signed the draft under the impression
that it was to be used merely as means OF
identification of Harrison, as he claims
such was the representation made to him.
The draft was given to Col. I. G. Frost
for collection, and about 500 was OBJ

spurious one, and McCain's signature

Madden felt that his last minute of

He rose up, as if to 60 over and ex-
