tors in the Hooking Valley coal field
combine which will be formidable
rival to the Reading system. The chief
mover in the scheme is said to be Presi-
dent G. +. Waite of the Columbus,
Hooking Valley & Toledo railroad.
Last week the five mine owners who
control the output of the Hooking
Valley met, at Columbus, Ohio, Presi.
dent Waite and representatives Of the
Toledo & Ohio Central, Columbus g.
Shawnee, and the Baltimore d. Ohio
roads. The meeting was called for the
purpose Of seeing what concerted action
could be taken in the matter Of rates
and to effect combine among the coal
men.
1t was finally determined among the
operators to form company which is
to be composed of the coal men alone
This company is to purchase the output
of the Hooking Valley and then deliver
to the consumers. Many dealers were
at the meeting, but declare that the
price to the small consumer will not be
increased. The combine will not go
into effect for two or three weeks, as
the railroads have not yet agreed as to
the rates for the combination.

Tried to Get 1t Cnshed.
d. II. Voshell, who keeps the Model
Dining Rooms on French street above
Front, has discovered that it is not al /
ways well to believe the story of willy
strangers without first making some
effort to ascertain whether or not their
tale is true. For several weeks man
calling himself Harry Hart, and who
says his home is in Detroit, Mich, has
been boarding at Noshell's restaurant
and working at the Novelty carriage
works, across the street. The fellow
claimed to have been in Strengthened
circumstances when he struck the city,
and managed to obtain employment as
carriage trimmer through the instru-
mentality Of friends.
When not engaged at his work Hart
was frequently about the livery stables
of James NJ. Jester, at No. rs French
street, and while there managed TO get
considerable insight into MIR. TESTERS
business affairs, so much SO that he dis.
covered it would he easy TO counterfeit
the liverymans signature. Hart also
learned that Livcryman Jester and Mr..
Noshell had frequent business transact
tions together, as far as money matters

profit by these revelations.
Monday evening Hart entered the
restaurant and informed Noshell that
Jester wanted him to cash check for
$27 on the Farmers Bank. The story
was that the liyeryman was suffering
from broken arm, and he desired the
use of the money right away. Hart
then handed Noshell the check, which
he examined, and, accepting Elart's
story as true, paid over the money. 1t
transpired that the first part OF the story
to the effect that the liveryman was
suffering from broken arm was true
bill, rs Mr.. Jester had fallen upon the
ice that day, and when he arose from
the sidewalk his left arm hung limp and
motioness ut his side. The rest of
Harris statement, however, subse-
quently proved to be a fabrication.
After securing the money Hart re-
manned at the restaurant all night and
when he arose next morning he cx-
| changed his old garments for new suit
| of clothes of q fellow -bOardcr and left
| the house. He was not seen again.
| When the noon hour came Hart was
| nowhere TO be found and his landlord
who still held the forged check, became
somewhat suspicious. Going to testers
stables he asked the liyeryman if the
signature on the check was his. The
latter at once pronounced it forgery
Then it was that the cry of "stoE
thief was raised but not until the
swindler had gotten outside the city. i
was learned that he left the Baltimore y
Ohio station at $40 O'clock, taking goDC

of affairs was made known, and believ,
they will yet apprchend the culprit.

EMMETT DALTON MAY ESCAPE.


He May Not 30 Tried on Account of the
Impossibility of Securing an Unpreju-

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
CoFFEYvILLE, KAs., Dec. 29.-Em-
NETT Dalton, although having recovered
from the wounds which he received at
the time the citizens of this town re-
PEELED the attacks on the banks of the
town by the Dalton gang, and killed
four members of the band, has not yet
been brought to trial. He has been in
dicted for murder, but the county at
torneys have had the case postponed
until spring.
1t now seems that Emmett Dalton
cannot be tried. The state, of course,
cannot take change of venue to
another county, this being privilege
allowed only to the defence, and Dalton
will not be tried in this county, as it
will be impossible to get an un-
prejudiced jury. He will probably
escape trial in the same way as did
James Brennan, who murdered Sam
Wood in Stevens county, and for
whose trial an impartial jury could not
be obtained.
