out Of the Border Queen. Diamond
Dica mas been making his head
quarters at Caldwell for a month past
and by the very liberia! use of printers
ink has succeeded in monopoizing
the medical business Of that town ana
IN the country for miles around. The
local doctors began a fight on him by
endeavOring to prove that he was not
graduate physician. The fight pro-
crossed to the extent that County At.
tOrney Rogers was asked to take a
hand in it and arrest Diamond Dick
for practicing medicine without a
physicians certificate. Diamond Dick
came up from Caldwell last Friday
and exhibited To the county attorney
diplomas and other papers that any
physician might be proud of. This
settles the matter so far as the county
attorney is Concerned but the Cald-
well resident physicians will probably
continue the fight On the prophet"
on the grounds that advertising is
against the ethics of the profession.
In the meantime Diamond Dick exhi-
bits his reckless disregard for profess
sional ethics by advertising in the
Caldwell papers to the extent Of a

FORGED A CHECK.
Two Youtlis Secnre $3.50 and
Then He Away.

A worthless check on the Farmers
bank for $3.50 signed With the
name Of Amos Cam, living northeast
OF the city, was caShed at the Racket
store about 5 O'Clock Friday night 10y
Court Bennett and Wilson Blaine,
two young men from Caldwell. Ben.
nett is the man who was arrested by
the state about a month ago for rot
bling an Oklahoma man at Caldwell of
something like 500. The case against
him was dismissed in district court
on a demurrer, there being no evil
dence to convict.
Bennett came up from Caldwell last
Friday and fell in with Blaine, who
had been working at Mrs. II. TaylOr's
restaurant on South Washington ave.
nue.. They procured blank check
on the Farmers bank Friday after
noon and Court Bennett filled it out
and signed the name Of Anne Cam to
il. They went 10 the Racket store
Friday night and purchased a pair Of
shoes and macintosh, Blaine pre-
senting the check in payment. The
check was Endorsed with the name OF
Tom H. Hogan, and was caShed by z.
A. Gambrill, manager of the store.
Gambrill was suspicious of the fellow
and took the preoautiOn TO question
him before giving him any money.
Blaine stated that he had been work
ing for Cam anG said he was a nephew
Of Mrs. Hugh Taylor. he mentioned
several parties around town as his ac-
QuaintanceS and partially allayed the
suspicious of Mr.. Gambril. After
the two men left the store Mr.,Gam-
brill again looked at the check and
noticed that Cams given name was
spelled Aim" A closer scrutiny of
the check revealed the fact that the
Endorsement was written by the same
person that wrote the check. Mr..
Gamhrill tried to find +. X. Robbins,
the president Of the Farmers bank,
Friday night, to ascertain for sure
whether the check was a forgery, but
Mr.. Robbins could not be found. Next
morning it was learned that the check
was worthless. Inquiry at Mrs. Hugh
TaylOr'S restaurant revealed the TACT
that Blaine had been working for her
10 the kitchen, but he was not related
to hel in any way. Blaine is a very
ordinary looking man and would be
the last person in a hundred to sus-
pect Of forgery. Bennett is a light
haired chap barely over p years of
age. They both live at Caldwell.
Bennett has been in trouble several
times, bat has always managed to
sQuirm out of it. 1t is thought that
they went to Wichita over the Rock
Island that night. The authorities
are making every endeavor to appre-
bend them.

the proprietor, the only person in the
joint at the time. A jug containing
about three pints OF whisky, which
the proprietor claims was used for
making eggnogS for himself, was con-
fscated.
The raid is the result Of young W. s.

fine and he was released from Jail
He was Immediately rearrested on the
charge of carrying concealed weapons.

him with selling liquor to her son, W.
s. Wright, Familiarity known as
Bunk" Wright, a minor, was re-
leased on his own recognizance.
keever is in the last stages Of con.
sumption and practically lives on
whisky. There is little doubt that
the liquor confscated in his place Of
business was for his own use prescrib.
ed by his physician. 1t is a question
whether Keever will live to be tried.
He is very weak, being barely able to
move around. The only liquor In his
joint besides the three pints of whisky
found in jug, was some pale mall.

What Everybody Knows

Or ought to know. is that health and
even life itself depends upon the con-
dtion Of the blood. Feeding, as it
does, all the organs Of the body, it
must be rich and pure in order to give
proper nOurishment. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla makes the blood pure, rich and
nourishing, and in this way strengthens
the nerves, creates an appetite, tones
the stomach and builds up the health.
Hoods Sarsaparilla wards off colds,
pneumonia and fevers, which are
prevalent at this time.
