From The Brainerd Dispatch.
A CLEVER FORGERY.
Spurious Time Checks to the Amount of
Several Hundred Dollars are Cashed
by Brainerd Merchants, Il

The Dispatch had information
when 1t went to press last week of q
wholesale forgery OF time checks on
the Cross Lake Logging company
and the cashing Of a large number OF
these checks by Brainerd business
men. At the request of several OF
the interested parties the Dispatch
suppressed the news item. the theory
advanced being that it's publication
at that time might In some way
complicate matters as the authorl-
ties had not then communicated
with the Cross Lake people.
The forgery was a clever one and
the opportunity for passingssthe pa
per was well timed, being Saturday,
Dec. q. The time checks were in the
usual form, although not the exact
form used by the company, and had
evidently been printed for the occa-
sion. The two men who did the lob
went from store to store. made pur-
chases and presented the checks in
payment and as it was after bank
ing hours and the Cross Lake Log
81 IL company's paper was known
to be gilt edge no question was
asked and they received their pur-
chase and the balance of the check in
cash. This was on Saturday as
above stated and Sunday and a holi-
day interviewed before the merchants
presented this paper at the bank.
and it was Thursday morning before
the reply had been received from the
Minneapolis Office that the checks
were worthless. This gave the men
four days in which to get out OF the
country and it is doubtful If they
will be apprehended.

would give nIm reCrerB TO, ruet AmeI1-
cans who would pay him we'll and keep
him from all harm. He refused this,
however, saying that he would not dare
to comply. Soon after he left with his
company.
"We had seen some savages in war
paint around us and we prepared to
fight them with cobble stones, the only
weapons that were available to US.
Hoped to Escape Down tho River.
1.-THE next morning we followed tho
trail of the Filipino soldiers, feeling
that it was better to stick to them than
to be murdered by savages, but we
could not catch up with them. Then /
ordered the men to build RATS in the
hope of floating down the river. It was
a forlorn hope, but I knew the river
must empty into the SEQ somewhere.
ION the morning Of Dec. 10. while
We were working on tho RATS, the
Americans came toward us yelling.
The rescuing troops thought We were
Filipino guides and called to us in Eng
lish to lie down so that they could
shoot the Filipinos. That was the
finest body of officers and men that I
ever saw"
The command spent the day in maxi
ing RATS. They shot many rapids, the
men losing all their effects and Lieu
tenant Gilmore some of his papers.
Only IA out of the 81 RATS survived the
first nights experience and so men
were practically unable to walk when
Vigan was reached.
Lived ON Grass and Bark.
Describing the fight from Bouquet,
when the Americans appeared, Lieu
tenant Gilmore said:
"The Filipinos, completely te1rorized,
left Benguet on Dec. Z. They hurried
the prisoners from town to town, often
retracing the trail, not knowing where
the Americans would attack. After be-
ing almost without food for three days
they killed several horses and we lived
on horse flesh for several days. did
not have full meal from Dec. until
I reached Vigan. In fact the entire
party lived entirely upon rice without
salt. There was one day I was reduced
to chewing grass and bark.
1.-THE Filipinos' treatment of tho
Spaniards was brutal in the extreme.
The FiliDinos had old grievances against
them to wipe out"
Lieutenant Gilmore declined to speak
regarding political conditions, except
to say he believed the instruction
would last as long as there were any
Tagals left.

Yorktown, who was captured by the
insurgents last April near Baler and re-
leased a few days ago by Colonel
Luther R. Hare of the Thirty third vol
unteer infantry, sat in the apartments
Of his sister. Mrs. Major Price, at the
Hotel Oriente, in Manila. and told re-
markable story Of his eight months in
captivity, ending with his dramatic de-
liverance from death that seemed to be
inevitable.
The steamer Venus came into the
harbor Saturday evening from Vigan,
province of South Ilocos, with Lieuten-
ant Gilmore and 10 other American
prisoners, including z of his sailors
from the Yorktown. Although tanned
and ruddy from exposure he is weak
and nervous from hardships. He speaks
warmly of Aguinaldo and very bitterly
against General Tino, stating that
while in the formers jurisdiction he
was treated splendidly, but that after
he fell into Tino's' hands he suffered
everything.

MASSACRE AT TAO TING.
Goodnow Says ALI Foreigners Are
Killed.

Washington, July 27.-The following
dispatch has been received at the state
department from Consul General Good
now at Shanghai, dated July 27:
Official telegram received on the
18th said that all foreigners and many
native Christians had been killed at
Tao Ting, and the missions burned.
The Americans, SincoX family, Tay-
Tor, Pekin Miss Gould, Morrill,. The
customs office reports disturbances at
Yunan yesterday
The cablegram is somewhat confused.
but is given out exactly as received
by the state department.
1t probably means that the Ameri
cans who were killed comprised the
SincOX family; either a man or WOm
an named Taylor and another named
Pitkin, and the Misses Gould and Nor
ri.
The name Pekin is believed at the
state department to be Pitkin, as in
quirieS for an American of that name
have been made at the department.
Tao Ting is about SeventyhVe miles
southwest of Pekin.
The department of state is in receipt
of cable dispatch from Consul Fow-
Ter at Che Foo in reply to one sent him
asking information of the missionaries
in China. Mr.. Fowler in his reply says
only one missionary presumably
French, is known to be in the interior
of Honan. At Shan Tung only Ameri-
cans are situated. Those not rescued
are the persons who went to Pekin,
belonging to the American Board of
Foreign Missions, and are believed to
be Arthur Smith and wife; Wyekoff
sisters, Chaplin, wife ana two children.
These names were given in a previous
cable dispatch in which Mr. Fowler
said he believed that only two for
eigners were in the interior, both of
them French.

ministers are safe. However this may
be, it is certain that the attempts OF

GooDNow FEARS OUTBREAKS.
Consul General Tells in Private Let
ter of Conditions.

Minneapolis, Mimi, July 27.-Charles
Goodnow has received a letter from
his brother, Consul General John Good
now at Shanghai, in which the latter
intimates that the conditions are even
worse than has been indicated in his
official cablegrams. He writes:
Chinese are leaving this city at the
rate of 1000 or 5000 a day The pur-
pose of their going or their destination
is not known
While he does not say so, Mr.. Good
now evidently believes that they are
being modified somewhere. Many of
those leaving, he says, have had close
relations with the Europeans and if
their departure had been on account
of fear of war between the allies, some
of them, he thinks. would certainly
have made their fears known to their
white friends. The Europeans, there
fore, have organized a body of volun-
teers and have refused to admit any
natives to it, although several offered
their services. This illustrates the sus-
picion with which all natives are re-
garded. A number of Sikh policemen
of the English concession are in the
ranks.
Mr.. Goodnow has given up his plans
for a trip home and will remain at his
post.
