l.. d. Savage, who has been employed
as stenograpler in the law office of j. G.
Cross for the past six months, left the
city yesterday morning after passing
forged checks upon the business men OF
the city to the amount of about $500.
Savage made the checks payable to him
sell and forged the signature of j. G..
Cross to them. tic made them in sums
of from SIS to $40 and commenced get
ting them cashcd Monday evening, know
ing the banks would not be open until
after the morning train left on Wednes-
day.
AS Savage was known to be in the en-
ploy of Mr.. Cross he experienced no
difficulty in having them cashed by bust
ness men with whom he was acquainted.
When the checks were presented at the
Hayes Il Hayes bank, Mr.. Hayes at once
pronounced them forgcries, and measures
were taken to apprehend the forger.
Sheriff Huff was notified, and he wired a
description Of the forgcr all along the
railroad line. 4 warrant was sworn out
yesterday evening, and it does not seem
possible that he can escape punishment.
In addition to the forged checks, savage
swindled Geo. l.. I.ilton out of $27. He
borrowed this amount from Hilton, Civ
ing as security mortgage on Il type
writer, and it now transpires that he did
not own such machine, but had been
using the one belonging to Mr.. Cross.
So far as learned of, the following is a
list OF those cashing the checks:
Pearson " Campbell, $40; Fife II Nc
Hugh, SIS; Evans Drug Co., $50; Frank
Granger, x2O; Edward Dolan, l.5O;
Fred King, $3.50; N. Ii. Kaufman, $50.

countered, the Reed has been tied up

santa CLAUS came 10 gFlcl dt Vue AOcI-
deem Gardens school house Christmas
eve, and came near being seriously
burned. After nice program had been
rendered by the children, Mr.. Weather
aid, dressed as Santa Claus, appeared and
began to distribute presents from the
tree, when two of the lighted candles fell
from the tree and set fire to his tar rope
whiskcrs. In an instant the wig, whis-
kers and his robe, made of light material,
was ablaze, and only the presence of
mind of the older folks averted panic.
Mr.. Weatherald quickly ran to the ante
room, where the burning robes were torn
from his person. Not, however. before
he was severely burned about the face
and neck and hands, but not seriously.
The greatest permanent harm was the
complete disillusion of the children with
regard to the mysterious nature OF Santa
Claus
