A Fraud Strikes Plymouth.

A Fraud Strikes Plymouth.
A few days ago the Independent con
tanned an article regarding an impostor
who had swindled number of young
laGies at Goshen, with an exact des-
criptiOn of the methods he adopts.
Tuesday this fellow struck Plymouth
and well nigh succeeded in finding a
victim. His plan is to solicit young
ladies interested in the spreading of
christian works. He has volume of
Tslmadge's sermons which he sells for
S6.50 cash but agrees to give the
purchaser employment at a salary of
Sc per week. While at Plymouth he
approached Miss Iris Thomson in the
northern part of the city and had about
closed the deal, when her attention was
called to the swindle by Mrs. DR.. Ely,
who remembered having seen the pub
lished exposure in the Independent.
Mrs. Ely hunted up the Daily Inde-
pendent and tie scheme was identical
to that of Miss Thompson's pretended
employer. The agent was given his
walking papers and it is learned that he
left town at once. Miss Thompson was
saved her $3.50 through the influence
of daily paper, and yet there are some
people who think they can't afford a
local Daily. They prefer city paper

Watch for Him.

A clever forger is operating in this
part of the state who purpOrts to be en-
gagged in extensive land deals. He
locates temporarily in town and after
driving about the country and inter-
viewing the prominent farmers finally
announces to an abstractor that he has
traded for q certain farm and has an
abstract made of the land. In a day
or so he begins to interview men with
money. attempting to sell them a
mortgage against the farmer with
whom he says he has made trade.
The mortgage is duly executed and
looks all right, and he has succeeded
in disposing of the forged security in
some instances. He is described as
q nice looking, well dressed man of
about 80 years of age, six feet tall,
weight about 100, light complexion,
light moustache and wearing q suit of
black cl0thes.-Vslpsraiso Messenger

Budd Ocher Writes Entertainingly.

Tampa, Fla. June 27.-Dear Brother
i received your letter and was glad
to hear from you. We are all expect
ing to move soon. 1t may perhaps be
a week. Some think that we may be
ready by next Thursday but | hardly
think it will be so soon. 1t looks like
the other expedition ran into hornets
nest, as they are hurrying the second as
fast as they can. This second expedi-
tion will be nearly if not altogether as
large as the first. It is more than like
ly we will see some stiff lighting in the
next two months.
The new recruits have not arrived
yet Have not heard when they will
get here. Anyway L pity them for they
will no sooner get here than they will
be loaded off to Cuba. We have
enc ugh homesick lads now. Some
times it is rather amusing to hear them
curse their luck
The rainy season has set in here and
we have a thunder shower every day,
usually in the evening.
Got the "two" all right and laid in a
supply of battle Axe That is hard
to get here as they nearly all chew
natural leaf. We had pay day yes
terday and the camp is nearly deserted
since last evening.
If my term of enlistment runs out
while in Cuba think | will stay there
for while. L believe it Will be good
place to make rioney in the next live
years. This measly palmetto swamp
land is valued at from $50 to $500.
You had ought to see it. You would
not give 60 cents section for it.
Saloon license is S1200 year, and even
grocer or dry goods merchant must
pay license to sell their goods. So
you know there is very little land lax.
Must close. Will write again after
we get to Cuba if | can get to send il.
If you write mark your letter SO it will
be returned in case We have gone.
Hoping to hear from you again before
we leave am Yours as ever,
BUDD.

Burglar Shot.

Gideon Logan, who runs general
store in Teegarden, is man that is not
to be fooled with, especially by those
"Weary willies" who tramp through
the country and make it their business
to get living without work. Tuesday
night about midnight Mr.. Logan, who
by the way was sleeping in his store,
was awakened from sound sleep and
discovered man ransacking the
shelves and drawers in his store. Mr..
Logan was prepared for just such fel-
lows and reaching for his shot gun he
got the drop on the burglar and pulled
the trigger. The robber fell to the
floor and cried for help. In few
moments the alarm was given and the
store was filed with people.
On examination it was found that
the shot had taken effect in the left
thigh of the burglar making a terrible
wound. He lay on the floor in the
store until morning when Sheriff
Marshall arrived, who had been notified
by telephone, and brought him to this
city and placed him in Jail. Dr. Will
son was called to dress the wound
which he pronounces serious one.
The burglar gave his name as Will
liam Mullholand, without home or
friends. He was very retlcent and had
horror for reporters. Mullholand is
about eighteen years old and rather
good looking. He says Logan is a
coward for shooting him without first
giving him warning. He says he has a
sister living in Akron, Ohio, by the
name of Mrs. &. j. Cook. lie begged
the doctor to give him chlOriform as
the pain was almost killing.
Sheriff Marshall and wife and Deputy
Bondurant did all they possibly could
to relieve the poor unfortunate from
his suffering. Just what will be the
result cannot be told at this time.

Horse Killed,

Sunday evening about o'clock the
horse of Mrs. Fred Kepler and sister
while crossing the Pittsburg road on
South Center street, became frightened
at passing train. Mrs. kepler drew a
tight reign on the frightened steed,
when the latter reared and fell back
wards breaking his neck in the fall
The ladies escaped with slight injuries.
The buggy was smashed into splinters.
1t was a narrow escape for the ladies.

fifty young boys. The big gun was
twelve feet long and about as capable
OF an injury to the Americans as Ad-
miral Ceryera exhibited Sunday morn
ing in his bold dash for liberty down at
Santiago.
The grand stand was erected on the
corner of Michigan and Laporte streets
and the hour for the speaking was set
for two o'clock, but was postponed un-
til seven O'Clock in the evening in
order to have the good news in regard
to the great battle verified.
At 30 the bicycle races were an
nounced which was participated in by
four atlethic young men of Marshall
county. The prizes being 6 dollars
for the first and $3.50 for the second
Those who entered for this race were
Arthur Young, Ray Meyers, Ralph
Mattingly and J y. Hendricks. The
distance was 3 miles and was won by
Arthur Y Dung with Ralph Mattingly q
close second. Young Meyers and Hen
drlcks collided on Laporte street i'm
mediately after the start which vir-
tually put them out of the race.
In the wheelbarrow race much fun
was created, Harry Coleman and young
MaXey being the contestants. After
two trials young Maxey won out taking
first money, 50, and Coleman second,
with 81.
The exhibit of Ketcham & Wilson,
the agricultural dealers, in the parade
elected many favorable remarks. The
new Plymouth wagon and six new
buggies were represented showing that
Plymouth is fully up to date in almost
every line of manufacturing.
The small boy was happy and in his
glory. From 6 a. m. until midnight the
continuous report of the fire cracker
and the heavy artillery could be heard
The display of fireworks in the eve
nlng was the crowning event of the day
al the conclusion Of the splendid ad-
dress by Hon. Chas. kellison. The
grand stand was moved to the middle
of the street where Roman candles. sky
rockets and almost every known de-
vice in modern fireworks display were
touched off, by Mr. Moon and his as.

fair interest on the cost and, when fully

is largely due to their permitting COM
peting telephone company to come in AS
stated In The Star, this new company al
ready has 1900 telephones in use at a great
ly reduced rate, and are rapidly increasing
the number. There is no reason why the

Is difficult to understand why Congress
should deny the citizens of the national
capital the same privileges or advantages
that citizens have elsewhere.
The objection to tearing up the streets is
not valid one. because If conduits are
ever laid, as all agree they must be, 1t is
much better to do 1t at once and have done
with 1t than to do it by piecemeal through
a series of years. Besides, it takes but
brief time to lay these conduits was
demonstrated by the Potomac Company

inconvenicrced and did not complain.
It is to be hoped that some definite plan
Will be settled upon at this session, so that
the work may be done and the citizens
have the benefit of 1t. Suppose it does re-
quire large expenditure? If it will pay
interest on the amount, is it not best to do
1t? The District ought to own, or at least
control. all the conduts, and they should
be rented to all who yant to them,
thus not only deriving revenue, but also
giving the citizens the benefit of COMPETE
ton, which. shown elsewhere. is the
only thing that will relieve us from the out
rageous exactions of the present monopoly.
If the Automatic Company or any similar
company were ne rmitted to do business
here 1 would take two telephones, but L
have not and never will pay the prices
charged by the monopoly. There is no
question that if either the Automatic or
Home Company were permitted to come in
there would be moro than double the pres
ent number of telephones used. Let us
have them, by all means
