Forger Evans Goes to the Pen.

George d. Evans, the forger of state
warrants, was arraigned before the
superior court of Thurston County last
week, and plead guilty 10 the forgeries.
The penalty prescribed by the statutes
was imprisonment from one to four
teen years, but in consideration of his
pleading guilty and saving the county
an expensive trial, he was sentenced to
five years imprisonment at Walla
Walla, where he was taken last Satur-
day. In connection with Evans plea,
it is quite feature in the case that he
stated that these warrants were all
forged on March 9th, 1897, and con-
sequently during the administration
of the present state auditor, Neil
Cheetbam, for. whom Evans worked
for several months alter the republic
cans went out of Office. This will
doubtless relieve the estate of ex-
Auditor Grimes, and ex-Auditor Frost,
from any responsibility IN connection
with these forgeries. This, then, is
the end of the transgressor, bright
and well educated young man. ruined
by morphine and other vices.

there, and it is now selling for S25 a

amount to only $25 ton, or II cents

only Al to 5 per cent to get out the
