Brownwood Feels Confident.

The attorney for the Fort Worth and
Rio Grande railroad was here the greater
part of this week in the interest OF the
extension of same from Comanche here.
He gave our people to understand ex-
actIy what the Rio Grande PEG pie ex-
pected and required of them, which was
$50. 900 subsidy, fifteen acres for depot
grounds, five acres for machine shops,
and twenty acres for general purposes
and for tenant houses just without the
corporate limits and free water by the
city for ten years.
Sufficient to cover al this has been
raised and bond for same, as we have
above stated, been made and sent in
Brentwood pays pretty stiff price for
the road, but she will get it back in the
end. Her future as q city. AS the me-
tropolis of the state, is now almost as
sured, only lacking the oil wells to COM
plete its chart of merit and future prom

Lawn Mowers at Hrlss'. April Il
Arrest Of a I,old Forger.

Arrest Of q Bold Forger.
William J. Stlres, son of Jacob Stires,
of Plttstown, is 10 serious trouble and in
Jail as well. He has been trying his hand
as a forger, and his brief career in the
profession shows him to be bungllng
workman. His exploits were brought to
sudden close last week by Isaac Latour-
elite, OF White House Station. Young
Stires turned up at his house week or
two ago aud after enjoying the hospitali-
ties OF the house rendered a check for
$14s0, purporting to be signed by John
p. Ritteuhouse. Mr.. Latourctte deducted
the amount OF bis bill and gave Stires the
proper change.
When the check was sent to the bank
here 10 bennington for payment II was at
once pronounced forgery and returned
to Mr.. Latourettc. This gentlemen inn
mediately secured warrant for the ar
rest Of the forger, but the trouble was to
find him. Constable Berry, OF Clinton,
was given the warrant but failed to find
the man whom 1t called for. Mr.. Berry
sent word 10 Detective Somers, OF Easton,
to look out for the man, and on Thursday
the detective found him In Mahlon Bon
nell's hotel at Phillipsburg. He was COL
Jared at once and brought to Pennington.
Justice Joe Fanss committed him to the
custody Of the Sheriff without foolish
waste OF words or any unnecessary cir
cumlocutory verbosity.
When arrested he had four bogus
promissory notes and three checks-all
drawn for small amounts--in his pocket.
So far as known be has worked of two OF
his phantom checks besides the one that
fell into Mr.. Latourette's hands. Cne Of
these was cashed by Edward Humphrey,
Of the Glen Gardner Hotel, amount slb. 80,
bearing bad imitation OF John P. Ritten-
houses name at the business end OF 1t,
and the other, for similar amount, fell
into the lap OF Mr.. Anderson, OF Icban-
on township, and signed Levi D. Able, Of
Bloomsbury.
In each case the work was ignorantly
done, and shows that Etires needs much
schooling to make him successful rascal.
For instance, he forgot to put the middle
letter s'B' In the Able check, and he
marked 1t In afterwards with different ink
and In a cramped space. Aud in one Of
the Riltenhouse checks be omitted the
s'n" in the name and again with different
ink be had marked the ssnn over the name
at the proper place. Htires 10 about ri
years Of age, and makes no denial Of hiz
guilt
