KILLED IN MISSOURI.
John =. Gleason received the sad
news to-day of the death of bis brother,
William Gleason, who was killed by the
cars at Moberly, Mo-, this morning. Mr..
Gleason was formerly Northwestern
brakeman i'll this city, and a short time
ago went to Kansas City, where he has
been conductor on work train on the
Wabash. A sad coincidence is the fact
that his brother was killed OH the Bur
lington short time ago.
A FORGED CHECK.
e. r. Swart, the young man who
passed the forged check for $3.50 on
r. j. Chase IL Co., was examined before
Judge Allen to-day. The testimony
showed that he went into Chase's store
and asked him to cash the check, signed
by NelS Peterson, as the bank was
closed and he wanted the money. Mr.
Chase gave him SO and told him he
would credit the balance to his uncle's
account. Chief Eastey testified that
when he arrested Swart, the latter asked
If it could not be settled. Judge
Allen bound him over in $1,000 in the
district court, in default of which he
was locked up. Swart is fne-looking
fellow of about thirty years. He is well
connected, and came here a short time
ago, telling his uncle he wanted to
brace up, and asking him to help him.
The latter gave him some clothes and
got him a place and he did well for a
few weeks, but his appetite for drink
got the better of him, and he went TO
the dogs. His uncle says he thinks the
boy is insane, through alcoholism, and
will try to have him committed to an
ASYLUM.
