TOMBSTONE FOR1ER
A Slick One Who Passed
 Cheeks Indiscriminateiy

Another smooth individual has developed in Tombstone but who has decamped. leaving a score of victims and record which will help grease his slide into the penitentiAIy i! he is caught.
 Tine man who is thus placed under a cloud was the tall. quiet bu: suave manager of the American restaurant, which is run under the firm name Of An Lum and Co. the tall msn pre- sumab!y being the Co. end of the partnsrshiP. He was known As Joseph Becker and it since transpires that he also weut by the name of Beck and W. H. Camp.
 On Saturday Becker alias Beck, alias Camp. called on .. NJ. Barrow and after making c few purchases rendered . certified check to the amount of S75 which was accepted; :;a.i.. transaction was made with P. B. Warnskrss for S75; c. L. Cum nings deducted his butcher bill and paid the diffsre nee to the amount of . $75 check; F. \. wolsott paid $50 on . cheek of like amount and the re- turns of others are net all in yet. It is presumed that if Becker dii not run out of chscks he would have flooded the city with the certified paper.
 The checks were all iorgeriss and the execution was well calculated to divert detection and suspiction by bearing the banks oerti6cation on its fsse-itsslf g forgery. Tho checks were oil issusd on the Consolidated National of Tucson.
 The further criminal astuteness of Becker was shown when he did his work on Saturday; knowing full we'll that the forgery would not bs detect ed until Monday, no business being done on Sunday, and meanwhile he would be in distant territory and successfully make his escAps.
 Becksr's well-laid plans thus far has saved him from the cluthes of tue law but every effort is being made to To- cate him and bring hin back. Mean. while eur merchants and others vic- umizsd will suffer the financial loss ct the hands of this smooth forger The only other consolatisn for the victims, besides the hope that Becker will be speedily overtsksn, is e feeling of thsnkfulness that they were not mulcted ous of still greater sums.

MAY BE A SERIOUS MATTER.
The Italian Charge d'Affaires Takes
COgniZance of the Louisiana
QuintupIe LYnching.

Washington, July 23.-The lynch
ing of five Italians in Louisiana, Fri
day, promises to assume an interna-
tional aspect through the action of the
Italian government. Count Einchi, the
Italian charge d'affaires, called at the
state department at an early hour ard
made representations to the officials
concerning the atrocity in Louisiana.
In order to get full information as Il
basis for action by this government,
Secretary Hay thereupo telegraphed
the governor of Louisiana, requesting
all the facts in the case. Count Ninchi' 5
action was predicated on reports from
the Italian consular officials in Louis
lana, and by the press reports. There
is reason to believe also that the Ital-
formed on the occurrence. 1t is prob
able, however, that the representa-
thu; far made are only preliminary,
with view to calling attention to the
facts reported, and pave the way &c
any protest or demand of reparation
which may follow. The affair is consid-
cred in official Italian quarters as
much like that in the Malta eases at
New Orleans, while Mr.. Blaine was
secretary of state, at which time tbs,
Italian minister, Baron Fava, is now in
Rome on vacation. and during his ab-
sence Count Vinchi has charge: of Ital.
ian affairs in this country.
