HE PASSED WORTHLESS CHECKS
IL. &. Collins. Who Swindled Mrs. u. LAWN,
Safely Behind BARS.

II. c. Collins. Who swindied Mrs. .. LAWN
safely Behind BARS.
Ii. G. Collins, alias II. ID. Davidson,
and half dozen other aliases. an oily
tongued individual, whose principal
business appears to be in the bogus
check line, is safely behind the bars in
the kootenai county Jail. The i'm
mediate cause of his woes is a bogus
check which he presented Landlady
LAWN Of the Hotel Wright to cash
Saturday. Collins had been in town
several days and the check was given
to liquidate a board bill, but he had
taken the precaution to make it large
enough so that he might have some
ready cash with which to leave town.
Shortly after this transaction took
place Mrs. LAWN became suspicious,
and her suspicious were soon after
ward confirmed by the Portland bank
upon which the bogus check was
drawn. In the meantime Collins had
gone to Spokane, and the police of
that city were notified. lie was
traced to Cheney and arrested by the
marshal Of that town. Sheriff Dyer
then brought him back to Rathdrum.
He was taken before Justice Marsh
for examination. but asked for a two
days continuance, which was granted.
Thursday he was again taken before
Justice Marsh when, by mutual agree
ment, the examination was continued
until the 18th.
The reason for this continuance is,
that the authorities have reason to be-
licve that they have dangerous man
in custody and are DESTROYS OF gather
ing evidence of this fact to be used at
the preliminary examination.
Since his capture it has been learned
that Collins had a $50 bogus check
cashed at Boomers Ferry, and another
one at Standpoint; also that he is an
eX-conyict, having served a year in
the Oregon pcnitentiary for "A too free
use OF other peoples signatures. This
latter information was CLEANED from
letters found in the prisoners possess
ion. These letters were written by a
woman who appears to have been in
fatuated with the prisoner, and they
indicate that the woman stood by him
all through his Oregon troubles. Col
Inns is no doubt a very dangerous man
with the pen.

Their Forests, Mountains and Gorsss
Peopied with Fairies

Like the japanese, the Norwegian
are very superstitious, and, as in
japan, the forests, the mountains and
the gorges are peopled with fairies,
says W. Il. Curtis, in the Chicago Rec
ord-Herald. Nissen is the good fairy
Of the farmers. lie looks after the
cattle particularly, and il he is well
treated they are healthy and the cows
give lots Of milk. To propitiate him
it is necessary to put a dish Of porridgs
on the threshold Of the COW stable on
Christmas morning. Whenever the
family move this invisible being goes
along with them and sits on the TOP
Of the loads. In haying time he al.
ways rides on the loads of hay and the
"bedstemoder' or grandmother in
every farmhouse can tell the children
dozens OF interesting stories about the
mischief or kindness Of Nissen.
He is invariably represented in pic.
lures Of farm life; he appears on the
illustrated advertisements Of farm
machinery: his figure is carved in
wood, is sold at all the curiosity stores,
and he appears as a prominent charac.
ter in most Of the fairy stories that
deal with farm life. lie is represent
ed as a short, fat, bow-legged man,
with big whiskers and long white hair,
wearing a red hat like those worn by
clowns in circuses. lie usually ap-
pears in his shirt sleeves, with an open
collar, a blue vest and knickerbockers
upon his legs, which are as slim a,
those Of a brownie. His circumfer.
ence is far greater than his height and
his head is almost as large as his body.
Mock is the fairy of the waterfalls
and is a sort Of norman. You eve
see more than half his body. lie il
very, very old, his hair and beard arc
long and white and his face is always
pale and pensive. He carries a harE
and plays to amuse the spirits in the
waterfall. A statue Of Ole Bull has
recently been erected in his native
city Of Bergen. He stands upon a
pedestal which rises from a fountain,
and the water flows over the head and
shoulders Of Mock at the base.

With a final shock and twist the
