Leicester, Dec. 1S.-Judging from cur

The meeting is not the one to be held
Tuesday night but the one that is held
annually, or the March meeting. Last

year to elect q Republican board of

About town today there were sew

town mixed up in the talk, and among
the probable candidates for seleCtmen
were Joseph Cone of Cherry Valley
and F. H. Tucker of Rochdale and two
or three prominent men who have been
connected with politics of the town and
who now reside in Leicester Centre.
A short time ago The Spy gave an
outline of the stand the Democratic
party would take at the special town
meeting to be held Tuesday night The
Republicans do not agree with them
and they say they fail to see why
there should be any plot feared
because the facts concerning the town S

Today members of the committee
who are to work on the town accounts
were busy. The most essential thing
that is to come up at the special meet

POLICE HOLDING
ALLEGED FORGER
Believe They Have M. H.
Allen ofKansas City
in Jail.
Prisoner Denies He Is the
Man Wanted by Chief
Hayes.

A man supposed to be M. H Allen, who
passed number of forged checks in
Kansas City, Mo-, two weeks ago, was
arrested in this city this morning. Chief
of Police Hayes of Kansas City was in
structed that Allen is in custody and
Detective Jarboe started yesterday fo1
this city to take the prisoner back. After
Allen left Kansas City his trail was
picked up at East Leavenworth, Kans
He went from there to Denver, Salt Lake
City and finally, it is believed, arrived in
this city.
Aliens last deal in Kansas City was
with a Mr.. Williamson, a ticket broker
from whom he purchased a ticket to Chi
caEo for Sill In payment he gave GER
titled check for $25 on the Consolidated
Tobacco Company of Pittsburg, Kans.
and received $14 in change.
a few hours later he called at the main

worthless to him. An offer was made tC
buy the ticket back, and Allen agreed tC
accept $S for it, which was paid. He was
therefore $22 ahead on a forged check fol
$25.-
Before this transaction Allen secured
several hundred dollars from merchants
which he paid for in forged certified
checks, receiving the change in cash. AL
len is wanted at Omaha for an offense
similar to that committed in Kansas City
and it is said that he is wanted in a num-
ber of cities in Missouri and Illinois fol
forgery. In each case he forged the name
of the Consolidated Tobacco Company.
The suspect is in the tanks of the
is about 25 years of age. The police are
not wholly satisfied that he is the mar
wanted. He denies that his name is Allen
or that he was ever in Kansas City.

Secures Rewards for Lost
Property He Has Not
Found.

The police of this city are looking for a
clever swindler who is practicing a
scheme that is not only enriching him
self but causing good citizens many dis
appointments. This unscrupulous fellow
rises early and eagerly scans the lost and
found columns of the various papers and
then pays visit to the home of the ad-
vertiser. If the party has lost dog or
anything of value the faker glibly tells
him that he knows the party who found
it. He always places the finders residence
outside the county and in this way gets
dollar or two TO reach the place. Some
times he collects the reward and promises
to redeem the lost animal or article, but
he is never seen again. Many complaints
nave been made against him, but as yet
ne has not been apprehended
Among those who have been mulcted by
the scoundrel are Phil Wand, the well
known Olympic Club athlete; F; D. Lin
Brown, steward of the Cafe Zinkand.
Wands experience was the most costly
and the manner in which he was taken In
others.
Wand is the owner Of a valuable field
dog. The animal has won many prizes and
is a great pet. On Thursday last Wand
visited the training quarters of George
Gardner and on the return journey the
dog gave chase to a rabbit and was soon
i0st b5t ;t TO YleW he Wand searched for an hour
sorely disappointed. AS the dog did not
materialize the next day Mr.. Wand
inserted an advertisement in The Call
The. morning the issue containing the ad-
vertisement came out the stranger called
on Wand and told him he knew where the
dog could be found. He said friend of
his who lived in Santa Clara County had
found the animal and was waiting to dis
cover its owner. Wand was overjoyed
and willingly gave the fellow 81 to pay
his railway. fare and 81 more with which
to buy refreshments for himself and
friend He told the fellow if he brought
the dog to the Olympic Club he would
hand over the reward. The stranger
agreed to everything asked, took the
money and departed. Wand is still waiting
for him to return. The dog returned to
Wand the next day. 1t was picked up in
the park and as soon as it regained it's
liberty trotted home.

COLOMBIA FACES
CABINET CRISIS
Trouble Precipitated by
Government Seeking
a Gold Loan.
Venezuela Is Also in Finan-
cial Straits and Business
Depressed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9O.-Dr. Silva the
Colombian Minister, to-day received a per-
Sonal message from Bogota announcing
a Cabinet crisis there. The dispatch
came from his brother-in-law, Michael
Abedia Mendez, who announced that the
crisis had resulted in his appointment as
Minister Of Foreign Affairs. The belief
prevails that the change was precipitated
by differences among the Cabinet on ac-
count of the gold loan which the Govern
ment has been seeking from the banks.
Some of the Ministers were favorable to
compulsory action in forcing loan, while
others were opposed to such a course. A
gold loan was necessary in order to get
money to purchase ships and for other
purposes.
