MASSACHUSETTS NOTES.
A Defaulting County Treasurer.

The people of Franklin county, and of
Greenfield in particular. were shocked last
week to learn that {. NJ. Moody. the treas
urer of the county for II years past. was a
defaulter to the amount of over $4,000.
The defalcation was discovered by means
of sudden and unexpected visit of the
controller of county accounts When the
discrepancy in his accounts was discovered
Mr.. Moody at once confessed what he had
been doing, and aided the controller in get
ting at the exact amount shortage The
peculations had been going on in a syste-
matte manner for II years and had aroused
no suspicion on account of the implicit
confidence placed in him. The money was
taken, not for gambling or speculation. but
to tide Mr., Moody along in an Improbable
business. The method adopted to cover
up the stealing was very ingenious. He
had five bondsmen who were holden for
$4,000, but these will not be called upon
as Mr.. Moody's friends promptly made up
the amount OF loss which the county had
suffered Moody resigned on Wednesday
and L. A. Newcomb, a Greenfield mer-
chant, was appointed in his place

DIED.

FORD. sunday morning, April 26,
1891, at his residence, corner OF
Chemeketa aud Water streets,
Robert Ford, aged SO years.
There were many expressions Of
regret when this news spread
throughout the city Sunday morn
ing. Only IA few days since Mr..
Ford was on the streets and attend
ing to his business rugged, hearty
man, apparently with several years
of life before him, but his busy career
here below is ended and the irresist-
ible claims of morality have been
Cancelled.
Mr.. Ford was taken i'll with iu-
flammatory rheumatism about two
weeks ago. With the best medical
skill the disease spread TO his heart
and only ended with his life at 4
o'clock Sunday morning.
OF his life, perhaps the most con-
else account that can be given is that
published in last New YEARS JOUR
NAL, the data for which was obtained
from Mr.. Ford himself. 1t is as fol-
lows:
Robert Ford, of this city, was born
in Illinois in 1882 and is well know n
throughout the valley. He came to
Oregon in 1858 and settled near Dal-
las, where he put in some time team
ing. He afterward embarked in the
stock business, which he followed
successfully for II years. He was
also in the butcher business at Dali
las year and then put in six years
and four months in the livery busi-
ness, same place. In the mean time
he became possessor of a valuable
farm, part of which is included in
the Dallas town site and part is a
rich hop yard.
In 1882 Mr.. Ford came to Salem
and embarked in the livery business,
in which he remained six years and
seven months, selling out in April,
1889, since which time he has been
amusing himself as broker, and spec
ulator in horses, notes, produce, etc
He has been identified with the pro
gress of this region and his hand i
always open for charity, public i'm
provement or other deserving causes
Robert Ford was a good neighbo
and friend, generous and kind, anC
always seemed to consider II a par
of his duty to assist in every possible
way those he liked, while those h'
did not like could easily find 1t out
He was a shrewd business man IL
many ways and accumulated qnitt
a property, while he contracted nc
debts.
He married Lydia Cohoon who
died in 1859. To them were born
two children; Thos. J. and Cynthia
A. In 1860 he again married Sarah
Prock in Polk county, who survives
him, as do also eight children as the
fruits of that union. The children
are: James M, Mary c., Isaac e.,
John H., Robert r., Milton W..
Francis NJ, Daisy L., and Gaines l..
The funeral was held at 2 O'Clock
this afternoon, and the remains
were laid to rest in the l. o. o. f.
Rural cemetery.

CHILDREN's OPPORTUNITY
managers of the Alba Hevwood con-
cert company, knowing how much
children love good music, have de-
cided to admit them to the concert
tomorrow night at half rates. From
the number of seats already reserved
it is safe to conclude that there will
be full house at this entertain
ment. The favorable press notices
from where the company has played
give the impression that it is worthy

WERE BUNcoED.-A few days ago
the JOURNAL published an account
of how some one had been endeavor-
lug to work a dire swindle on some
person in this state. 1t new trans
pifes that such fellow has been
here and found few suckers, y
and took them in. The Benton
Leader, of Corvallis says: In GER
tain locality of this county stranger
had been hanging around all winter
and made u proposition to some
parties to furnish them with counter
felt grecnbacks, which, by boiling
in coffee and being rubbed up a
little could not be detected from
genuine paper money, and from
what we have heard the proposition
Was accepted 10y several citizens,
who were to receive $1,000 for 500.
On paying the confidence man the
500. one Of the purchasers was, IL
is said, to accompany him TO Port.
land where the $1,000 in worthless
money was to be paid over; but or
arriving in Corvallis it seems that
he changed his mind, expecting
thar the fellow would either senC
or hriug the large amount back, bu
alas, he is gone, and so is the $700
If these reports are true, the parties
who would go into such business
are not to be pitied in the least, and
it is only too bad that they did no
lose all they have got. Had tn,
worthless stuff been received and al
attempt made TO pass any of it
there is some one who would NOR
than likely have gotten themselve
into serious trouble. These mel
can be thankful that they did no
get it.
