$23 each and more than a dozen of
the checks were cashed success
fully. Theforgeries wereclever-
1y executed, and the penmanship
showed an experienced hand.
The two men worked their game
by entering a store together,
dressed as workmen. They
talked over a building contract
on which they claimed to be at
work for Mr.. Coble. They then
purchased what they wanted,
amounting to about So, and ten
dered check, getting money in
return. Two of the checks were
cashed at a saloon, early in the
morning. The men entered
without their coats and vests at
this place.
One of the clothing dealers
where check was cashed hap
pened to see Mr.. Coble a short
time after he cashed the check
and remarked having received
one of checks. Coble stated that
he had issued no checks, but
was paying all his men in coin.
This resulted in the authorities
taking up the case. The result
was that one of the men was
caught at saloon late last night
and the other at Springtown this
morning"
They worked Hutchinson and
other Ksnsas towns before COM
ing here. They touched" La
Junta for $50 they left here and
after Sheriff Hale wired to La
Junta officers tolook out tor them.
They tapped two or three other
places in Coloredo later. AT
Victor, Colorado, on Friday they
cashed $500 of worthless checks
and used the same name one OF
them used in Dodge City. They
seem to be adopts atanvading the
officers and their graft has beer
bringing them several hundred
dollars a week. Colorado wa:
flooded from Dodge City will

For8erers Caught.

The bogus men who worked"
Dodge City have been captured
in Colorado, or at least it is be-
lieved that two men held at Lead
vile are the same parties. The
two men before being caught
made trip clear across Kansas
working different towns, and at
last when they were caught, il
by a mere accident. A merchant
merchant who had cashed one of
the checks happened to meet a
Leadyille contractor whose name
had appeared on the check. The
merchant hab cashed the cneck
only few moments before and
in speaking to the contractor
mentioned that he had cashed a
check for one ofhis men. 1t hap
pened that the contractor was a
man who did not use checks in
paving his employees, and this
of course gave the thing away. 1t
being Saturday night the men
were of course not expecting the
forgery to come to light before
the following Monday morning
and they we're consequently off
of their guard.
The men have bernhard from
all along the line between here
and Leadville and are no doubt
the same parties who operatedin
Dodge City. The Denver Repub-
lican gives the account of their
arrest in a Sundays dispatch
from Leadville.
1.-TWO of the cleverest forgers
now travelling around the country
arrived in Leadville some time
during the week. Latelastnight,
just before the stores and saloons
were closed, they began the man
ipulation of a programme in the
gorging line which was astonish-
ing for nerve, and which they an
ticipated would not be discovered
until MONDAY morning when the
banks opened, by which time
they expected to be far away
from Leadville.
Although they victimized
several merchants, the victims
have the satisfaction of knowing
that both men are now in Jail.
One was arrested this morning
aud one tonight. They gave
their names as Jerry S. Hilburn
and William Sennel. Their checks
were made payable to one Wood
son, while the name of w. w. Coz
BILE, the we'll known contractors
was sigued to all the checks.
The amounts were from SIS. to
