Slick Swindiers Caught.

The torger st. John and his companion, who
have been victimizng some of the merchants of
Cameron and Elk counties, were arrested at
forged on Fred McVicker, of Driftwood St John
made free use of the name of Robert Cochran
the Caledonia hotel man and lumberman.
Mr.. Cochran has good commercial rating and
as Tor years done considerable banking at the
Elk county bank, Ridgway, facts which the
forgers seemed to know. Two checks, one for
si3 and another for $50 were presented at the
Rldgway bank for payment which were at once
recognized by the cashier as forgeries; and a
third, drawn for s35 was presented at johnson
burg. They are all evidently the work of the
same parties.
The Ridgway Star OF Saturday says that
A. Canfman, of the firm of Caufman and
Shlman, was one of the losers by the
forger st. John. An overcoat, valued at $5
and cash to the amount of s26 represents the
clever swindling game at the above mentioned
dry goods and clothing house. A check for $3l
bearing the signature of Robert Cochran was
passed by the smooth gentlemen of sanity name
on Mr.. Caufman.
Various other business places in Ridgway were
visited by st. Jonn and his pal, but SO far as
known at present the local losers are s. E,
Bowenn, Jacob Butterfuss and Caufman & Sill
man, whose losses will aggregate over $lOO.
At Johnsonburg the clever rascals attempted
unsuccessfully to have S37 check cashed at
Mr. Harvey's store.

to him again, in the near future.

THROWN FROM A SLEIGH.

Last Saturday John J. Soble accom-
panied by his sister Eta, were out en-.
joying a sleigh ride When rounding
the corner of Fifth street and Wood
land Avenue the ice caused the sleigh
TO slide, upsetting and throwing the
occupants with great force onto the
ice. Miss Soble was slightly bruised
above the left eye, while Mr.. Sobe was
severely injured, being cut in several
places on the forehead, deep cash in
the cheek, two fingers sprained and
otherwise bruised. The injured man
was carried to neighbours house until
medical aid could be summoned. News
of the accident soon reahed the central
portion of the town and DIR. Baker
soon responded, dressed the injured
man and caused him to be removed to
his home.
Mr.. Soble is confined to his bed, suf-
fering great pain in the head. He had
severe shake-up and DR.. Bardwell,
who is now attending him, informs us
that he does not apprehend any serious
results, although the patient is suffer
ing severe pain.

BROKE A RIB.

While making a professional call on
Whittemore Hill, last Friday night, DR..
X. Z. Heilman met with peculiar acci-
dent that resulted in breaking one of
his floating ribs'' in two places, and
how he escaped meeting instant death
or being manned for life is nothing
short of miracle.
1t seems that the Doctor had been
summoned that evening to attend Mrs.
Geo. Baxter, who was suffering from a
stroke of paralysis, and arrived at her
home at the above mentioned place
about nine-thirty in the evening.
Driving over to the barn for the pur-
pose of tieing his horse he attempted to
open the double doors but found them
frozen fast. The approach to these
doors is over a small wooden bridge,
erected at a distance of about ten feet
above the ground and in trying to open
the doors he took position on the
edge of the bridge, grasped the corner
of the barn with his left hand and the
handle of the door with his right, and
pulling on the door with all his might
he lost his hold on the door and
swung around over the edge of the
bridge, falling backwards onto pile
of pIanks below, breaking one of his
ribs as before stated.
After recovering from the first shock
of the fall he got up and went over to
the Baxter place, compounded a pre-
scription for his patient and drove
home, distance of three and one-half
miles, in cold, drizzling rain, arriv-
ing here at midnight, wholly ignorant
in the meantime as to the seriousness
of his injury. At first it was thought
the doctor was suffering from paralysis
of the bowels, but at present writing he
is getting along nicely and we hope to
see him on his feet in a short time. DR..
Bardwell is attending him.
