FORGERY IS CHARGED.
Sensation Caused by the Arrest of
Robert G. Heydlauff at
Ashland.

Ashland, Wis, June 25.-[Special. i
The excitement over the discovery of the
forgery of county orders eliminated this
morning in the arrest of r. c.. Heydlauff
on two counts. His bonds were fixed
at $500, which he secured, and hearing
is set for July 6.
Mr. Heydlauff is chief engrossing clerk
of the state Senate, is chairman of the
Republican county committee and was
receiver of the land office in this city
during HarrisOn'S administration. Mr..
Heydlauff claims that the culmlna ton of
this affair is an attempt to ruin him for
political reasons. He is a candidate for
a government position supposedly that of
internal revenue collector for the West
ern district of Wisconsin. He is also
friendly to the interests of Il number of
candidates for federal positions and he
claims this is possible reason for the
fight upon him.
Heydlauffs sister is a caterer in De-
troit, Mich, and he claims that the
forged order was given to her She sent
it to him and he took it to the county
treasurer for inspection, the latter pro-
nounced it a forgery, whereupOn Heyd-
lauff returned it to his sister. The facts
are that Mr. Heydlauff did have the
forged order in his possession, as he
claims. He presented it to the treasurer,
who discovered that it had been raised
from $1.24 to $30S1.24. The order has
not been seen here since. The only evil
dence the state has is the two stubs with
nothing on them but the change of fig
ures. The order was torn from one stub
and the number was changed so as to
correspond with another stub.
Mr. Heydlauff claims his absolute in
nOcence.
One more forged order remains to be
disposed of in this case. An order for
S124 was raised to 1921 1t was taken
by ex-City Treasurer Marshall in taxes.
Mr.. Marshall is now under quarantine
and upon his release the investigation of
this order will continue. A young man
in this city is suspected of this forgery.
