Those who were swindled by J. Slime

last week for 81 per cent. of their claims,
less lawyers fees. The original petit
TONERS in bankruptcy received nearly
ten per sent. while John E. Truitt,
who was their agent, got the full
amount of his claim-about S400-as
he presented it as wages due him. His
claim took one-third of the entire
amount recovered from J. Slime & Co.'S
assets. The amount lost by berry grow
ers, berry crate manufacturers and ship
pers of eggs. by the swindlers was about
$4,000, and the amount recovered was
about $1,000. From the sum recovered
the costs of arrests and bankruptcy had
to be deducted-also John E. Truitt'l
claim, which left practically nothing
for the other creditors.

Forecasts for June.

June will come in at the eliminating
stages of a storm period which begins
the last days of May; a marked change
to cooler Immediately after the close of
the storms. A return of storm condi-
tons will appear on and touching from
the 4th to 9th. Rising barometer and
cooler, fair weather will be the natural
order behind the disturbances of this
period, lasting progressively from about
the 9Th to the 8th.
About Sunday the 9th to Wednesday
the 18th, many electrical storms, with
rain and possible violence, will most
likely occur. Showery, unsettled wea-
ther is probable into the reactiOnary
disturbances due from the 18th to 18th,
the moon being in perigee on the 14th,
at greater north declinatiOn on the 18th,
and at new moon the 10Th, very warm,
muggy weather will prevail at this
time and heavy rain storms will visit
localities, especially regions along the
Atlantic Seaboard. The Vulcan storm
period extending from the goth to the
26th will bring the elimination of the
June solstice storms. For number O.
days there will be a repetition of in
tense and vivid electrical storms, witt
cloudburst here and there.
Some of the most decided storms o
the month are probable about Friday

CAUGHT by a Check.

A dummy, or decoy check, helped Sheriff
Reedy to land William H. Decker in iail.
Decker, after stealing the valuable trotting
horse and its carriage and harness from J. II.
Ross, of Hazlettville, hurried down through

Maryland line. At Berlin he offered his team
for sale, it being few miles south of the Del
aware border. DR.. Harmonson, who saw in
the team a remarkable bargain at SO, offered
to pay $50 for it. The stranger accepted the
offer and with such alacrity that DR. Har-
monson made him out a check of $50 and gave
the balance Of $40 in cash. Thinking there
was something wrong, he dated the check
"May 30, 1901, and this check was the means
