FORGED CHEtkS PLENTY.
Clever SwindIer Victimizes the People OF
Bangor and Oldtown, Me.

Clever Swindler yictimizes the People of
Bangor and OIdtown, Me.
BANGOR, Me-, April 1.-The passer of
worthless checks has been reaping "a har
vest in this city. About week ago a
young man giving the name of Edward
Farnsworth of Bangor went to the Amer
lean House, Haymarket square, and en-
gagged board for fewIdays. He was we'll
dressed and appeared to have plenty
of money. which he spent in the most lib
eral manner.
After breakfast Saturday, he announced
that he was going to Oldtown. When he
returned later in the day he had new
suit which he said he had purchased in
Oldtown.
Soon after Farnsworth's return he went
out and bought a new suit of clothes. A
little later he visited one of the large
clothing establishments and secured an
overcoat, for which he gave a check drawn
in favor of Edward Farnsworrh by Il man
named Kimball on the First National bank
of Brunswick. This check has proved to
be a forgery.
On Sunday night Farnsworth got Land
lord Chandler of the American House TO
cash check for quite a sum drawn on the
Second National bank of Bangor by John
Ross. The check was shown to Mr.. Ross
on Monday, and he pronounced it a for
gerry.
Farnswortb left the hotel early Monday
morning, and has not been seen since. He
is about % years old, 5 fl. in. and weighs
40 pounds. He Wore heavy black mus
tache and goaiee. He speaks two or three
languages and is very clever with his pen.
An Oldtown man called upon Proprietor
Chandler of the American House yester-
day and said he wanted to find Farms
worth, as he had cashed check for him
which was worthless. 1t Is probable that
there are others"

Common Sense Needed,

The Grout papers ought to get together.
They are hurting each other and the COM
mon cause by the methods they are now
Some one ought to see to it
that they show little more consistency.
Some OF them have been busy of late as
sorting that the people, the rank and file Of
the party, would select the candidate and
that there could by no possibility be such a
thing as the ring taking that out of their
hands.-Argus and Patriot.
