A CLEVER FORGERY.
How q Merchandise Broker Realized @2O,.
900 on S12 Check.

How Merchandise Broker Realized S2O,-
900 on S12 Check.
CHICAGO, Jan. GA dispatch from
San Francisco says: zone OF the clev-
crest check forgeries perpetrated here
for years has just leaked out. It cost
the Nevada Bank $40. 900 and 1t presents
some new wrinkles in forgery to local
experts. December 10 A. Il. Holmes, q
merchandise broker, who had en- office
In the Chronicle building and who had
done come business through the Nevada
Bank, presented check at that bank
drawn to his order on the Croker-
Woolworth Bank OF this city for sea-.
600.
The check was drawn in Woodland,
Cal. and Holmes explained that he
turned IL in for collection ct the Nevada
Bank TO save the trouble Of identifying
himself at the Croker Woolworth
Bank. AS he had an account at the
Nevada Bank for several months and
had deposited and drawn considerable
sums, the cashier did not suspect any
thing. The check appeared all right.
so the cashier put So. 600 to Holmes
credit and paid him in gold $50, 600.
That Ia the last that has been seen OF
Holmes or the coin. When the check
reached tho Woodland Bank through
the clearing house inquiry was made at
once, as tho only check drawn by this
bank on the Csocker Bank near the date
of this bogus check was for Sl2. Experts
were put on the case, and microscopic
examination showed that Holmes had
raised tho Sle check to SAP. 600. and had
not only made erssnres 30 az to defy
anything but microscopic inspection,
but had filled in the perforated figures,
and had made new periorations of
500 600.

New YORK. Jan. 6.-In It's LAST od;.
ton to-day the Evening Post saws!
This afternoon bullion brokers resumed
the payment of a premium for gold,
paying five eighths OF one per cent. for
IT. This they said, was mainly an arbi-
trary transaction to settle contracts
made last week. Some of the gold
ordered last week, they say, In London
would be stopped before Il WAS shipped.
They said thas they thought it likely
that no premium would be paid for
gold to. day, but that they are all in

fails to properly nourish the organs
and tissues of tho body, what can you
expect but that tired feeling and ner.
