The case of j. Clarence Brown, ar
rested on charge of forging E. w.
Derry's name to a check of 1,000S on a
San Francisco bank, is growing very
dark and suspicious. The Consoli-
dated bank, through which the draft
was sent for collection, wired to know
if Derry's draft was good for the
amount drawn for, and received an an
swer that it was. When the draft was
received, San Francisco wired that it
had been paid. The Consolidated
bank, as soon as it learned of the ar
rest of Brown, alias Derry, wired to
San Francisco to scrutiniZe closely
the signature of Derry. They wired
back that there were doubts as to the
genuineness of the signature.
Upon further interrogation, Brown
stated he came down from Klondike
some months ago, and deposited his
money in bank under the name of L.
w. Derry, to conceal his identity, and
that he was known as Derry in San
Francisco hotel. The proprietor was
wired to give Derry's description, but
instead of describing Brown, it is said
that the description, SO far as to height
and hair, tallies better with the de-
scription of that of corpse found
hung to tree up in mountain can.
yon near Nogales some days since,
which was supposed to have been there
month. There appeared to be lack
of evidence of suicide The body was
hung to a limb of a tree, and the knees
very nearly touched the ground. There
was no clothing upon the corpse save
a shirt, not a scrap of paper to be
found anywhere by which to identify
the corpse. 1t is stated that Brown
had a partner named Derry. II is al
legged they had been at Bisbee togeth-
er; that they were last seen together
in vehicle some weeks ago, and that
Derry had not been seen since. Among
Browns effects was found large pack
age of cancelled checks signed by
Derry; also, Derry's check book, a
number of letters, and other papers of
Derry's. There was also a large num-
Der Of pieces of paper upon which he
had been practicing writing the name
of f. W. Derry, as well as other very
damaging circumstancial evidence. The
officers have gone TO look up the dis
covered circumstances, as far as pos
sible. of the remains of the man found
in the mountains. A few days will
disclose, il is believed, a most diabol-
ical crime Ii is to be hoped that the
young man can establish his innocence.
The case looks bad--very bad-for the
young man. Tucson Star.

E'uy a Prospect.

1t is often the case that the develop
ment of prospect is more profitable
than the working of producing mine.
To the experienced miner this is the
self-evident proposition, so palpable
that its repetition is superfluous.
However, there are many of the un-
itiated who are anxious, more than
ever at this time, to become practic-
ally interested in the industry and
who are unable to properly value the
distinction or measure the various de-
grees of difference between prospect
and a mine, A prospect may be a
hole of six feet or a shaft or tunnel of
100 feet in the ground. Either may be
located upon a rich but undeveloped
mineral vein. The discovery thus far
may, as it often does, establish the fact
that it is a valuable property. But
owing to the fact that the expenditure
of money and labor has been but a
trifie, the property is offered for sale
or it may be secured under bond and
lease at nominal price regardless of
its possibilities of abundant treasure.
1t is this phase of the mining industry
in Colorado, as elsewhere, which is
especially presented at this time, when
there is an inquiry and search on
every hand for opportunities of min
ing investment and all descriptions of
property are in demand. For the man
of small money the prospect offers the
safest investment; the opportunities
are numerous and the field is wide
spread and irviting.-Mining Reporter.

to support the shoe workers who re-
main away from the factories. @
The decision of the general court to
have the committee on labor visit this
city and investigate the strike has been
the subject of much speculation. Many
think that the only effect the visit of
the committee will be the passage of q
law that will act as a sort of preventive
for future strikes. Others think that the
committee will make some recommen-
cation towards a settlement of the
pending trouble. Both representatives
from this city, Balloon and Brigham,
worked hard for the passage of the
bill, although the former enjoys the dis
tinction of being its father.
OF late there has been no trouble Of
any kind as q result of the strike. No
crowds have gathered at the factories
and the city has enjoyed an unprece-
dented season of Quietude and peace.
The state police are taking things easy.
The number of Marlboro people work
ing out Of town is very large Large
colonies Of Highland City shoe workers
have settled at Brockton and Barre.
There Is not a shoe town in New Eng
LAND where there is not a. Marlboro shoe
worker. 1t fs the general opinion that
many of these people will never come
back Many think that, no matter what
happens, large proportion of the old
help will work in the factories when the
trouble is settled

MUSICAL REVIVAL.
The First Rehearsal For the Second Con-
cert a Pronounced Success.

birmingham, Feb. 25.-Framingham
is enjoying a musical revival. A few
gentlemen DESTROYS of fostering an in
terest in choral music got together in
the fall Of '9S and organized the Franz
ingham Musical Association, with Dr.
l.. NJ. Palmer president and Whittle
Poor secretary.
The first step taken was to secure an
efficient conductor. and the directors
succeeded in engaging Jules Jordan of
Providence. 1t was expected that a
chorus of 100 voices could be obtained,
but to the surprise and pleasure of the
committee, the membership soon ran
up to 225.
The first concert of the series oc-
CURED Friday evening, Feb. II, and by
the courtesy of the Grace Congrega-
tional Church. it was held in their au-
dience room-the largest in town--the
church being filled to the doors, and the
singing of the chorus being the finest
heard in birmingham in many years
Their work was admirable under the
leadership of their admirable conduct
or.
Tonight occurred the first rehearsal
for the second concert, the work in
hand being Gades Crusaders, which
will be given with other numbers about
the last of April.

WONDERFUL STATISTICS.
A. A. Hixon Tells Florists About the Mag
ntude of Their Profession.

Thursday evenings meeting of the
Chamberlain District Farmers Club
was one of the best in its history. The
speaker of the evening was a. A. Hix-
on who gave the members the benefit
of his knowledge Of Horticulture, on
which subject his ability is well known
He opened with statistics cn the sub
iect, which shows how closely he fol-
lows the art and everything connect
ed with it.
He said there are 1920 men and 200O
women engaged in Horticulture There
are 5000 establishments representing
nearly $40 900 and covered wiki 30,
600, 900 square feet of glass. There were
sold last year 242,00G,000 plants and
shrubs and 15,0OO,000 cut flowers. He
then gave an interesting talk on the
sentiment expressed by flowers and the
NEUROLOGICAL belief of the ancients as
applied to flowers, after which he gave
some excellent advice regarding the
culture of house and outdoor plants.
Mrs Hixon and Mrs. p. f. Sears gave
readings, Ray Blanchard a song, and
Miss Thayer piano solos, making al
together a record breaker in the line
of enjoyable meetings.
