Man Gets Letter From Postoffice
a+v cted To W. H. Smith Con-
tanning Certificate of
Deposit for $324.

A case OF attempted forgery by an ig-
norant man landed the individual in
Jail this afternoon.
w. H. Smith, who claims to have been
working on the sewer and for the Ditch
company called at the postoffice this
afternoon and called for mail for w. 81.
Smith
He was given the mail by Postmaster
Price also a notice that a registered let
ter was in the office for him. He se-
cured the services Of a colored man by
the name OF Jim Lisbon to go with him
to the Office to secure the register ed
mail. The letter was secured by both
men signing their names to the notice
for registered mail.
Immediately after the letter was de-
livered to the alleged Smith suspicion
was aroused and Walter Mulkey, dep
uty postmaster went out Of the Office to
follow the man and see what he would
do, as he believed the letter contained
money.
Smith went to the Mesa County bank
and was of course refused the money on
the certificate OF deposit, he being ignor-
ant of the fact that rarely can money be
secured on certificates without recogni-
tion by responsible parties. He was
then located and followed by Mr. Mul-
key, who in the mean time met Sheriff
Wallis and Constable Welch. He went
into Delaplain & Crosby's and presented
the certificate and asked to have same
cashed. Here he was also refused and
then the officers laid the hand OF the law
upon him. He was taken by the rear
way to the postoffice and here he ac-
knowledged that he was w. 81. Smith,
but not the Smith for whom the letter
was intended. He freely said that the
check was not his and acknowledged
that he intended to cash it il he could
and asked why he did so said that he
had been drinking for a week or more
and was broke and wanted money. He
was placed under arrest at once.
1t was a close shave and had the man
had little more start he might have
gotten the certificate cashed.
He was placed under arrest by Sheriff
Wallis and lodged in the city jail.
The w. d. Smith to whom the regis
tered letter really belonged is residsnt
of this city and an employe ct the ma
chine shops.

seemingly grows stronger After

three o'clock the Knights met at

by the cornet band, knights on foot

our beautiful Cemetery where, at
the gate, the Knights formed in
open column while friends passed
through and the band discoursed
sweet music appropriate tor the oc-

their Past G. G., c. H. Andrews, the
knights formed in hollow square

decorated the seven graves OF their
brother knights, the closing cere-

at ease, to rest in the shade and to
listen to music by the band. Form

hall. Without doubt this was the
finest decoration and more largely
attended than any previous year.
Never has there been as many flow

this year, each mound being com
pletely covered. There were some
of the knights unable to be present
on account of being called out Of

exists between Congressman J. A. Taw-

terests he has so faithfully served and
for whom he used his influence to Sc
cure an increased tariff by reason of
which the lumber combine has been able
to unjustly and cruelty tax his constit-
