FORGER
J. H. Finley Sentenced to the Penl-
tentiary for Two Years.

Judge l.. N Tavenner, who has been
holding a term of court at st. Marys
for the past two weeks, arrived home
Thursday night, having adjourned
court until Monday, in order to allow
the prosecuting attorney and sheriff
an opportunity to go to Charleston to-
day, accompanied by G. T. Caldwell,
when the application for writ of
habeas corpus in the St. Marys speak
easy cases will be argued.
This term of court at st. Marys will
be memorable one in many respects,
on account of the effort that Is being
made to suppress the speakeasies
which have existed there in defiance
of the law.
The grand jury returned 40 indict-
ments, but special grand jury was
called and returned 29O indictments.
The majority of these were in speak
easy cases. and for parties for renting
their property for unlawful purposes.
The grand jury had considerable
trouble in obtaining evidence from un-
willing witnesses, many of whom
claimed they did not know by whom
they were employed, where they got
anything to drink, etc. The court
would take the refractory ones in
hand direct the sheriff to take them
around to various places to see If they
could refresh their memories, and the
plan worked pretty well until some of
the places locked and barred the doors
Then the court gave the sheriff a writ
empowering him to batter the doors
down if necessary to get inside. Other
measures were taken with the wit
nesses, and they were all ready and
willing to tell all they knew before the
court and grand jury got through with
them.
One fellow was caught in the act of
selling liquor while the grand jury
was in session, and he was indicted so
quick that it made his head swim.
Several important cases were tried,
and the man Finley, who forged the
name of s. S. Stone, of this county,
to $3.50 note, was convicted and sent
enced TO years in the penitentiary,
Finley is the man who married a
prominent young woman of Waverly,
whom he deserted at GAINESVILLE some
weeks ago. He and three other pris-
oners attempted to escape from the
Jail at st. Marys early this week.
They made large hole in the wall
and Finley had thrown his clothing
out of the aperture and was ready to
follow himself, when they were dis
covered. 1t was ascertained that a
young man by the name of Stanford
Pugh had passed crowbar in to the
| prisoners from the outside. He was
indicted, tried, fined $25 and sentenced
to 6 months in Jail
The Stanley will case was on trial
this week and the jury rendered a
verdict in favor of John R. Stanley.
This was one of the most notable cases
that has been tried in that court. d.
H. Leonard and C. T. Caldwell were
among the attorneys in the case. Sen

Don't Know Where They're

To the front again bobs up the old
boundary dispute between Ohio and
Michigan. For long years the matter
has bothered the residents of Ohios
northern border and the inhabitants
of the southern boundary of Michigan
Each of these two states claims taxes
on certain lands in Lucas and other
counties. The old boundary estab-
lished by the general government after
the exciting Toledo war" of over
three score years ago has been lost
and is now again in hot dispute.
Young men and maidens who want to
get married are uncertain in which
state they reside, and the sheriff Is in
doubt as to his jurisdiction and the
local courts sorely perplexed as to
their jurisdiction.
The dispute between Ohio and Mich
igan began in 1884 and soon culmi-
mated in both states assembling troops
along the border in the spring of that
year, but before any opening of actual
hostilities occurred peace commission
ers from President Andrew Jackson
arrived on the ground. and the next
year congress decided in favor of Ohio,
Michigan receiving as compensation
for the REIMBURSEMENT of her claims
the large peninsular bounded by the
three great lakes and so rich in min
eral wealth When the contest was on
Governor Robert Lucas, who had
fought in the war of 1912, arrived at
the head of the Ohio militia and en-
damped at the old Fort Miami, eight
miles above the disputed territory.

Chic through freight No. rs, became
suddenly insane while on his run. He
pulled by several stopping places at
high speed. but fortunately he slowed
mp his train when nearing this place,
and leaping from his cab took to the
woods, His fireman pulled the train
into the depot here and a party of
friends succeeded in locating Hatch a
few hours later and he is now under

The Tramp and the School.

A tramp by the name of Roosevelt,
who, by the way, claimed relationship
with Teddy, turned up at village in
Eastern New York and proceeded to
run the district school to suit himself.
He broke into the school house on
Sunday and camped there for the
night. The first scholars entering
there on Monday morning discovered
the tramp in the act of cooking a fowl
on the stove Theye were told by the
tramp to take their seats and study
their Lessons until school opened.
BY twos and threes the scholars
came in and were directed to spend
the time in study until their new
teacher had finished his breakfast
Just before the time for school to open
the teacher, pretty miss, arrived.
She was informed that her services
were not required, and the tramp,
taking his place on the platform, call
ed the school to order.
In the meantime the real teacher in
formed number of farmers of the
state of affairs, and they burst in fill
ed with ire. Roosevelt pulled an old
pistol from his pocket, at sight Of
which the men scattered. After send
ing a number of scholars to the black
board to do their arithmetic problems
and finishing his repast, the tramp
tcld the scholars that he was related
to Governor Roosevelt, and they had
been honored by his presence in the
school, He then departed, and has
