PRISONERS HAVE COMPLETE
OUTFIT FOR FORGING.
Three Men Arrested in Oregon City
by Night PoHceman-They
Tried to Pass Counterfeit
Money Orders-Other
News.

hlNl5 Ga abo W dIA Cual4Co ~ VUIlLG
tonight arrested three men whom
they believe to be professional forg-
ers of postofice money orders. The
mon had in their possession, a COM
plete outfit for carrying on their
work, and also a number of money
orders that they intended to pass.
The men gave their names as
William Mile, George Willis and
Hugh Carpenter. They are we'll
dressed and were in the act of leav.-
ing the city when they were taken
in charge by the officers. s.,f.s~
Several days ago the merchants
of this city were notified that a
gang of men about the country were
passing forged money orders. The
gang had been tracked to
t ls yici ity Of Oregon City, and
when the men attempted 10 pass
their worthless paper here they met
with poor success. The last. firm
they tried was Adams Bios ;, deal
eIs IN general merchandise. @
The trio entered the store, looked
about for few moments, bought a
small bill OF goods, and rendered
the order in payment. Mr.. Adams
was suspicious, aud at once notified
the officers. An effort was then
made to trace the actions Of the
men during the day, and IT was
found they had attempted to pass
money orders at several stores dur
ipg the day. . AT each place they
had excited sus picion, and bad fail
ed to collect any cash, but no one
had made a complaints against
them. The officers concluded that
they had evidence, enough to war
rant their locking ie to the case, and
placed the men under arrest. e
When the men weressearched; it
was found that they had complete
ou' fit for forging money orders "A

possessed go closely -resembted the

on them were drawn onSthe postof-
