Reserved, further, That while we
are fully convinced that the Irish are
naturally with the side Of right and
Justice, as represented by the Boer eff

less we deplore that some practical
steps have not been taken to publicly
and mphatically voice this generally
recognized sentiment, by the holding
sof public meetings."

HE DID NOT SUCCEED.
Stranger Tries to Work w. w. Epper
son, of Eddyvtlle.

stranger Tries to Work We W. Epper-
son, of Eddyville.
A penitentiary bird who tried very
hard to victimize the Manning & Ep-
person bank at Eddyville, is roaming
over the country having in his posses
sion checks on that bank and it would
be well for persons in this part of the
country to closely scrutinize the
checks when given by stranger. 1t
happened in this way: Last Decem-
Der a man calling himself G. w. Wilson
appeared in Eddyville and repaired to
the home Of Mrs. John Steele and rep
resented that he was an old friend of
her husband and hearing that there
was q mortgage of $4,000 upon her
homestead, desired to pay it off on
account of friendship for her husband.
He made several purchases of Eddyville
business houses for Mrs. Steele and in
one case asked for some blank checks
which were given him. These he is
supposed to still have in his possession.
Having worked the matter of paying
of the mortgage up to what the swim
der thought the right point, he made
his grand play and had Mrs. Steele
come to- town and accompany him to
the bank. He made out draft on
Tie 0lScOuuIt o. DcpOSlt pduiA OIL flAcul-
land, Ind, for $2,650, and stated that
he wished certificate of deposit in the
name Of Mrs. Steele for 81, 800, and that
he wanted $3.50 in cash to make some
Immediate improvements on the farm.
& Mr.. Epperson informed him that the
bank did not cash that kind of paper,
bud that he would take it for collection
and could get returns in the course of
:: three or four days, which would be a
/ matter of small inconvenience as the
weather was too cold to do any inn
proving, at least for few days. Here
the smooth, slick gentleman made his
smooth play. He seemed perfectly
satisfied with the arrangement, and de-
parted and has not been seen since.
The draft was promptly returned
from the bank ait Kentland, Endorsed
that they had no knowledge of any
such a man. A day or two later Mr..
Epperson received letter from ex-
Sheriff Lambertson, of Monroe county,
who is now guard at the penitentiary
at Fort Madison, informing him that
g. w. Wilson was fraud and that he
had been released from that institution
but a few weeks ago after serving a
four years sentence for a similar oper-
alton to the one he tried to work here.
