BOY BEHIND THE BARS.

Charles Amerman Refuses Assistance
When He Gets Into Trouble.
Eighteen-year-old Charles Amer
man told Police Magistrate Schroe-
der today that he didn't want anyone
to pay his fine. He would go to Jail
and serve it out. And he went.
Charles is q stepson of John C.
Matlock, 1414 Thirty-fifth street.
The other day Harry Meyer, a Rus
sian Jew scrap iron gatherer, passed
in that neighborhood when he was
annoyed by several boys. of whom
Charles was one. Young Meyer
halted his horse and gave the boys q
piece of his mind, whereupon, it is
alleged, Charles Amerman brought
his right in contact with MEYERS
probocis. Then Meyer had Charles
arrested for assault and battery.
well. he called us bad names
first" explained Charles to the
squire.
"What did you call him.
1.-The same" replied Charles.
"Before he said anything to you?"
"Yes SIR"
That fixed Charles. The fine was
imposed. 81 can't pay" said young
Amerman;" ''no; nor I don't want
anyone to pay for me. No one owes
me anything-consequently l have
nothing. I'll serve it out"
And Charles went to Jail.

The Mortgage on His Parents
Farm Complete Forgery.
JUSTICES SIGNATURE ALSO BOGUS.

Z. p. AeMiehasl Says It Was Not That
Of His Father-Farther Startling Ra-
morn Of Deviltzy on the Prsnisss-rhs
Worss nay Yet - to Div.iss.
Another revelation of the rascality
Of Henry +. Bastian was made this
morning, which showed him il any
thing to be possessed of more bold
ness and daring as criminal than
has as yet been attributed to him.
F. p. McMichael, of Black Hawk,
came to Rock Island and examined
the mortgage on the Bastian farm for
81, 500 drawn Feb. II, 1891. and to
which Bastian forged the name of his
father outright aud passed the sigma
ture of his wife off as that of his
mother. The document was alleged
to have been sworn to before Jus.
tice William McMichael. of Black
Hawk township, and whose name ap-
pears on part of the certificate.
MIR. McMichael died suddenly Of hear,
disease May 10, 1898. just after hav.
ing completed a term of IL years as
justice of the peace. His son this
morning closely examined the sigma.
ture purporting to be his fathers and
pronounced it an absolute forgery.
The document bore no seal, so Bias.
tian was enabled to carry out his
rascality in every detail, the only
name on the paper being original was
that of his wife. and that he gave as
his mothers after having secured i,
under false representation.
The personal property at the Bas-
tian farm was appraised yesterday al
5000. and it will be sold. The farm
is believed to be worth $1,000.
Another Sensational Disclosure.
A farmer living east of the Bas-
tian place now recalls to mind an in.

years ago, and which he paid no at.
tention to at the time, but which he
is now inclined to think was of more

working for him a simple minded
fellow, who rushed breathlessly oveI

leader not a follower. AS savage ad-

from our standpoint these admirable
traits and qualities makes him all the
more dangerous kind of man in the
present national disquiet for too many
reasons to discuss here now. When
