GANG OF YOUNG FORGERS
Three of Them Are Now in the
Hands of the Police.
A BOGUS CHECK PASSED
Six Forged Checks Were Found in the
Room, Together With a Large

A BOGUS CHECK PASSED

A gang of three young forgers, one of
them not more than 10 years old. have
been captured by the police. Two of
them were arrested Saturday night in
Butte and the third Detective Murphy
got in Anaconda yesterday forenoon.
The capture was effected through the
youngest member of the gang passing
a forged check on F. c. Slemons, man
ager of the Utah Market in West Park
street Saturday evening.
Early Saturday evening a young fell
low presented to Mr.. Slemons and
asked him to cash a check for $24. 1t
was drawn on Clark's bank in favor of
Henry Davis, was signed by J. X. Hes
let, assistant cashier of Clark's bank,
and was endorsed Major W. Smith &
Bro" and Henry Davis" The young
man said he worked for Mr.. Smith, who
had given him the check. Mr.. Slemons
did not know Mr. Heslets signature,
but was familiar with Mr. Smiths, and
as it looked all right he cashed tho
check.
The fellow left, and Mr. Slemons
thought as a precautionary measure it
might be well to call up Mr.. Smith and
did so. He was informed that the in
dorsement was a forgery, and at once
reported to Sergeant of Police McGrath.
The officer and Mr.. Slemons started to
look for the forger and about 1920
o'clock they came across him at the
corner of Park and Main streets. He
was arrested and taken to the city Jail.
where he gave the name of Henry
Brown. When searched he was found
to have about $55 in money.
The officers ascertained that the pris-
oner had a room in the Lafayette house
in East Park street, and Detective
Murphy went to ;the room and searched
it. He found six forged checks, to
which the names of J. V. Long, A. c.
Bergman, J. S. Carder f. c. Mullins,
j. K. Heslet and Thomas Carter, pre-
sumably Senator Garter. were signed.
He also found a bunch of blank checks
from Denver and Salt Lake, from
which it is supposed the gang operated
In those cities also.

| agreement with the Journeyman Plumb
| ers union as to a scale of wages and
| hours so that the contracting plumbers
| might know exactly how to figure the la
Dor on prospective contracts for the COM
ing season, did, through their conference
committee ask the conference committee
of the lourneyman's union on the I'd day
OF April, 1899, for scale of wages and
hours, which request received no reply
until after the iourneyman's union had
held TWO regular meetings, and on the
18th day of April the conference commit
tee from the journeyman's union stated to
the conference committee of the master
plumbers that on and after June 1, 1899,
they would expect s. per day. eight hours
to constitute a days work, except on
Saturdays, when six hours would consti-
tute full days work This was imme-
diately taken under consideration by the
master plumbers at a meeting held on
the evening of April H. who replied that it
was impossible for them to allow a full
days pay for six hours work. and, there
fore, could not enter into such an agree
ment; and further replied on the 18th day
of April to the conference commit tee of
the journeymans union that the master
plumbers We're willing and would at once
sign an agreement, to hold good from
May l, 1899, to May l, 1900, providing for
scale of S. per day of eight hours, which
was the existing scale in force at the time,
and desiring not to further delay an
agreement, as many contracts were then
ready for figures, added that they must
have a reply by Tuesday at u clock,
noon, April IS, 1899, which reply was never
given, whereupon the master Numbers
decided they would take no more work
than they could perform themselves, and
that they requested all their employees to
lay off until an agreement was reached
which would be acceptable to both jour-
neymen and master plumbers. This is the
primary and only reason why the jour-
neymen plumbers are not at work for US
now.

Of all thy hero sires.

May he who cast His aegis
Ger flooded dyke and dam.
When down mid rearing pillows
Went Frances orffiamme;
May he defend the children
