Ahead of Wichita,

Deputy Grain Inspector W. F.
Thompson Informs the Journal that
Wellington is now ahead of Wichita
as a grain center. During the time OF
Inspector ThOmpsOn's residence here,
from JulyS to December 81, 1897, he
inspected 1910 car loads of wheat
which were loaded at Wellington.
This beats Wichita's record by about
500 car loads and places Wellington In
the Topeka, Atchison, Coffeyville and
Leavenworth class and far ahead Of
Wichita, Winfield and Parsons.
Wellington is now without doubt
the best grain center In Southern

Coffeyville. These two towns are

Sheriff Heskett and Morris Rowan,
city marshal Of Caldwell, went to
Wichita and lola Friday night on
a search for Wilson Blaine and Court
Bennett, the Caldwell men who
cashed A forged check on the Racket
last week. They learned that Blaine
and Bennett had gone to Pueblo, COL,
but before they left they succeeded in
cashing six worthless checks for sums
varying from SIS to $40 on merchants
at Wichita and lola. The authorities
at both these places are now hot on
the trail of the forgers and the news
of their capture is momentarily looked
for. Their method OF cashing the
checks was similar to the method
employed here-purcbasing goods and
giving forged check in payment.
At each town they visited they re.

were cashed. Officers are ON their trail
