niece, corroborated the testimony of her
aunt.
Mrs. Susie Cole. the wife of the brother
of the respondent, was called. 1t was to
her house on India street that Cole went
when he met Mr.. Cog, Thursday night.
Mrs. Cole testified that the Respondent
was at her house on the previous Tuesday
and remained there until after D. m.
He was alleged to have passed the forged
check at a little before Z, and this testi-
mony was In the nature of an abb.
Mr.. Edgar Cole corroborated the above
testimony of his wife.
George W. Cole, the accused. took the
stand. BE said he has been foreman of y
section on the Grand Trunk and Portland
and Rochester for many years. Lately he
has been foreman at the Fort Preble
works. He denied positively that he
passed check at Cox & yDyer'a last Tues
day. In fact he said he had no check of
any kind IN his possession on that day.
On Unat afternoon he went down to the
Grand Trunk and staid there until a late
hour. After six o'clock he went to his
brother house and then home. He said
he never wears cap
Charles Durgin, g clerk at Billings 6
grocery store, was then called by the state.
He said Cole last Thursday offayed a
check to him but it was not accented,
He identified Cole as the man and said he
wore cap at the time
Mrs. Agnes Dinsmore, clerk in the In
dia street bakery, said that man wear-
ing cap and who looked very much
like Cole. offered a check to her last
Thursday, but she did not cash it
Mr.. Floyd argued in favor of his client
at some length and3County Attorney Lib
by spoke briefly.
Judge Robinson found probable cause
and ordered Cole to furnish bail in the
saln of $3.50.

Colonefs report. The method of prac-
tice shooting in vogue among the men
of the two regular companies has been
approved. The committee recommend
ed that when the men in the volunteer
companies are ready to shoot their Of
| fetal score for each month, they
should before starting such score,
state that they are going to shoot
same and appoint a scorer.
The committee further recommend
ed that it he especially ordered that
when anyone has notified a scorer that
he will shoot his official score for the
month. that after one shot has been
fred that the score must be completed
and stand whether high or low, and
that said score must be the first score
fired by the shooter on that day.
Under such regulations the scores
shot for company reports by the mem
bers will be shot under about the same
strain that a score in match would
be shot, and will be of value for ref
erence

CRETE Is BLOCKADED.
United States May Not Assent to the
Move.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Secre-
tary of State Sherman has been noti-
fled that pacific blockade of Crete
was begun at 9 o'clock Sunday morn
ing. The notification was made in
concert by the representatives of the
six signatory powers to the Berlin
treaty-Great Britain, Italy, France,
Germany, Austria-Hungary and Rus
STA.
The language of the several notes is
identical. They formally announce the
commencement of the blockade of
Cretan ports against ships flying the
Greek flag. 1t is further declared that
merchant vessels of neutral powers,
including the United States, will not
be disturbed in their usual CONNER
cial ventures, providing cargoes con-
tain no merchandise for use by the
Greeks or insurgents of the island.
Such vessels, however. will be subject
to inspection by the blockading war
ships of the concerted squadrons.
There is little likelihood that the
United States will give its assent to
the blockade, or in fact, even notice
the communication of the several pow
ers. Mr.. Sherman said the matter, be-
cause of its remote interest to this
| Government, had not been considered
in any way. 1t is not likely tolreceive
consideration until merchant Vessel
of the United States attempting to
enter Cretan ports, is prevented by the
blockading ships. The master of the
american ship would in this case call
the matter to the attention of the
Navy Department, and President Nc
Kinley would then have to decide upon
a policy.
