HE WAS A STAR,
2. T. Lewis Now Known to Have
Disposed Of at Least 100000
Worth of Forged Bogus Bonds.
What a Treasurer He Would Have
Made.

Urbana Ohio. July 1O.-Additional
forgeries continue to come to light on
2. T. Lewis. The amount of forgeries
on bonds, known positively, aggregate
one hundred and eleven thousand dol
lars. This does not include a large
amount in bonds supposed to be for
geries. George Mock, a Columbus
broker. has just turned up with ten
thousand fraudulent bonds. Five
thousand are Adams county bonds and
five thousand Tippecanoe city school
bonds. w. z. Hutton. of Cincinnati,
has ten thousand of TippecanOe city
school bonds that are fraudulent. BOs-
ton bankers have q batch Of forged
Nechanicsburg school bonds. They are
fcrgaries. having Autographed sigma
tures of officials in place of written sig
natures. They also have the name Of
John J. Morris, signed as clerk OF the
school board, when the correct name IS
John J. Mauk.
Similar bonds are held by Springfield
parties. 1t is believed here that the
forgeries will aggregate over 100000.
The liens on the property of Lewis in
this county. amount to ninety-eight
thousand dollars. while the property is
valued at about sixty thousand. Judge
Heiserman appointed Sheriff Miller as
receiver of the property Of Lewis this
evening.
IT. Lewis was at one time candle
date for State Treasurer before the Re
publican convention. He has also
tried for the nomination as represen-
tative from Campaign county He at
one time was proprietor Of the Daily
GAette. He organized the Home Saw
ings Bank in Urbana; established banks
in Plain City. Forest. Ansonia and
Anna. In all his transactions he never
sold forged bonds outright but kept
them for use as collateral security
thereby controlling them and covering
mn his tracks. He had most of his litho-
graphing and printing done in Cincin-
natl.

Charleston, w. Va, July 10
To-nights advices from the Elk Horn
show the situation as, Col. Tierney de-
scribed it a afewdays. ago, like a volcano
ready for eruption at any moment.
While there is no organized effort on the
part Of the strikers to precipitate a riot
or destroy property, there is an under
current Of rowdyism that may crop out
in one or more places any moment
Governor MacCorkle realizes this, and
at II o'clock confidently expects to put
troops there tomorrow.
The new men are evidently intimi-
dated and refuse to work under the ter
rorism that exists there at present
The authorities know that if work is
to resume any time soon it will be under
military protection.
John Cooper telegraphed again this
evening that his men refuse to work
through fear, and wants troops 10 pro-
tect them.
Col R. S. Carr telegraphs from Blue
field that he considers the backbone of
the strike broken, but that trouble is
liable to occur at any moment as the
miners are desperate and heavily arm
ed, and may resort to murder and in
cendiarism. He finds the sheriff and
civil authorities, with one or two ex-
ceptions, in sympathy wi h the strikers
and the operators and their plants
would be at the mercy Of the mob
should a riot occur. If troops were sent
at this juncture, hundreds of lives and
thousands Of dollars Of property may
be saved.
Secretary White telegraphs that
there is no change on the surface. but
danger will not be over for ten days.
Governor AIacCorkle wired several Of
the operators asking if a concentrated
effort can be made to start work this
week. If it can he will leave the troops
there to protect them.
Justice Collins wired at 11:2O p. m.
that two of his men quit work this
evening through intimidation. One
man applied for work but was marched
off by armed strikers. The sheriff will
do nothing, and protection is baaly
needed.
