Trapped-Description Of the Grim.
inaI and His Method of Doing Busi-
ness

The postotfice department is after
a crook by the name of E. j. Rozier,
who is forging and raising money or
ders promiscuously throughout the
Spokane division, which includes
Montana. Postmaster White has
been notified of his depredations and
instructed by Inspector Linn to warn
merchants and business men of his
mode of proceeding
His method is to purchase a money
order, usually for 25 or 80 cents at
some small office, payable at one of
the larger cities By means of chem
icals he erases all of the writing on
the order and makes a compete new
order. payable to himself at an office
different from that named in the or
lginal application. He then visits
the town upon which the raised and
altered order is drawn, and usually
on Saturday nights, he purchases a
small bin of goods from some mer-
chant and offers the raised order in
payment, requesting the difference
in cash. If Identification is requested
he produces number of letters ad-
dressed to himself. The orders are
generally raised to $50 or $50. His
description is as follows:
Age 32 or 3d. build. slim; height,
5 feet 10 inches; complexion, dark;
weight, 100 to 175 pounds; hair, me-
dunn dark; eyes. dark and squirting;
nose, ordinary: neck, long; prom-
nent lower lip. Drinks, CANDLES,
plays races, and continually loafs
around saloons. Has swinging
walk and impresses one as railroad
man. Always seems cool and pos
sessed.
All merchants are warned to be on
their guard. and in the event of an of
fer of one of these postal orders by
a stranger. to cause his immediate ar
rest and detention by the local az
thorities.
The alterations on the orders are
so perfect they cannot be detected
by the naked eye and great care and
vigilance is necessary to capture the
smooth operator
