A LIffie Scandal in Tomb stones
 Commercial Circles.

Tombstone has had 9 sensation On Saturday Joseph Becker, alias Beck, alias Camp. proprietor of the Amari- can restaurant in Tombstone, called cn s. M. Barrow, and after making a few purchases rendered a certified check to the amount of $75, which was ac- cepted, says the Prospactcr. A simi- lar transaction was made with P. B. Warnekros for $75; c. L. Cummings deducted his butcher bill and paid the difference to the amount of S73 check; F. N. Wolcott paid $50 Cn check of like amount and the returns of others are not al, in yet. It is pre- stunned that if Becker did not run cut of checks he would have flooded the city with certified paper.
 The checks were all f3rgeries and the execution was well calculated to divert detection and suspicion by bearing the banks certificate On it's face-itself a forgery. The checks were all issued on the Consolidated bank of Tucscn. Tt2 further criminal astUteness of Becker was shown when he did his work on Saturday; knowing full well that the forgery would not be detected until Monday, nc business be- HIS uOAE OiI houHC1y, anu u1GdI V HliG LS would be in distant territory and sue cessfulIy make his escape.
 BeckeT's well-laid plans thus far has saved him from the clutches cf the law, but every effort is being made to locate him and bring him back Mean while the merchants Of T0mbs5on and others victimized will suffer the finan- cfaI loss at the hands of this smooth forger The only other consolation for the victims, besides the hope that Becker will be speedily overtaken, is a feeling Of thankfulness that they were not mulcted out of still greater sums.
