Forged a Check

A stranger appeared at Fischer's mill
about ten days ago and purchased half q
ton sof feed. He told August Fischer
that he had been in the employ OF G.
Harding, north Of Corvallis. for some
time and offered check for $42.25 in
payment of the feed. The amount of
feed bargained for came to $40 and Mr.
Fischer paid him the difference. S32. 2.25.
The stranger, who gave his name as G.
O. Cline, told Mr.. Fischer that he was
going to engage in teaming and that he
had moved his family to Corvallis and
gave the location OF the residence he had
taken possession of. When Mr.. Fischer
spoke of the matter of sacks, the stranger
told him that there was a sox in the
barn that would hold the feed and it
could be emptied from the sacks. He
did not want the feed delivered until the
following day:
The check bore the date OF June 10Th,
and Mr.. Fischer did not take it to tine
bank for payment until the following
Saturday, when the forgery was detected.
This gave the forger plenty of time to
get out of this section, particularly as
Mr.. Fischer did not pay much attention
to the appearance Of the stranger.
| Sheriff Burnett had business that took
him over to Albany, Tuesday afternoon,
and he inquired of parties between here
and there regarding the forger and learn
| oJt hot tIo of LoI orraorn1 o{ T1ialy
Kiger's and asked for blank check on
an Albany bank, stating that he had pur
chased a COW and desired to draw a check
| in payment for her and had forgotten his
check book. Mr.. Kiger told him that
he did not do his banking in Albany and
| did not accommodate him.
Mr. Burnett also learned that he de-
sired 10 make some trivial purchase at
the store at Granger, provided a check
on the Lebanon bank for $40 could be
cashed. Here he failed
Later on the forgfr appeared at Mr..
Harding's and told his story of having
forgotten his check book and Mrs. Hard
ing gave him thee ablank cheeks, saying
that he might spoil one or two in making
it out. In .this way the stranger learned
that Mr.. Harding had a bank account
and did his banking in Corvallis.
II is q peculiar circumstance, but true,
that no two persons who came in con-
tact with the swiudler give the same des
cription of the man. However, all agree
that he rode about the country on 4. bicy
Gle. week or two previous to the for
gerry aforementioned similar swindles
we're reported from Eugene and Sheriff
Burnett is of the opinion til at the same
party is responsible for all of the forgeries.

the man is manifest in his every

He is no dissembler. He speaks
no false opinion, that the smooth
surface of vanity may go unruf-

follow. What a thing is, he
names it. What truth dictates,
he utters. His is the wisdom OF
the sage; not of the wiseacre.
Let not his words of counsel,
and his courageous example be
lost on this community.
There was one precept set
down by DIR. Wise that should
be charactered in the memory OF
every member Of the class, and
seasoned by constant reference.
He charged these young men
and women to make use of vision,
that they might find their proper
sphere in life. There are today
too many pettifogging lawyers

mounting orators funing and
vaporing from the r5strum; tee
many little, insipid preachers

many hucksters in the marts oi

Commencement Happenings

The exercises at the unveilins
Of the tablet in memory OF Cap
tain Woodbridge Geary, former
commandant at the college, who
was killed while leading his
troops in a charge at Malabon,
Philippine Islands, were appro-
pirate and impressive. The tab
let is of white marble, and bears
the name of Captain Geary, a
tribute to his worth, and the
time, place and manner of his
death. 1t is embedded in the
masonry near the east entrance
to the armory. A short program
preceded the address by Mr.. B.
F. Irvine. In his eulogy ofCap-
tain Geary, Mr.. Irvine extolled
the virtues of the man as a citi-
gen and soldier. He said the
pages of history contained no
sublimer storylthan that of Wood
bridge Geary's fidelity to duty.
He admonished the cadets who
had had the privilege of the dead
comman lant's acquaintance and
instruction, to give heed to the
lesson that his life had taught,
and to emulate its example.

departments of music and elo-
cution at the college armory
Monday evening. The attend
ance was large aud the exercises
enjoyable. Vocal solos by Miss
Bates and Mr.. Carnahan, and all
instrumental duet by the Misses
Horner were to many the most
pleasing numbers on the pro-
gram, while many complimentary
things have been said of the pam
eomine LEAD Kindly Lieht,'
by Miss Steiwer, and the scene
from "Pvgmalion and Galatea," "
by Mr.. Wilson and Miss Irvine.
