MAN WITH MANY NAMES
WAGNER, ALIAS NEWTON, MARION,
MASON, ETC, KNOWN IN THIS CITY.
Much-Wanted FOrger Who Was
Identified at Lafayette Last Night
a Cincinnati SwindIer.

The man arrested Tuesday night in La
fayette charged with issuing a forged check
for $500. who gave his name as James
b. Newton alias Z. NJ. Wagner is said
to be the same Wagner that was arrested
in this city on Aug. "a, of last year. for
swindling several furnishing houses in this
city. While in this city Wagner went the
pace that kills. according to the stories
gained by the police and detectives. He had
a wife and seven children living on West
New York street, near Patterson. Wagner
always appeared to have plenty of money,
but it was never known what work he
was engaged in. After his arrest i'm this
city it was learned that Wagner had been
travelling over the country posing as a pro-
moter of business enterprises. His arrest
in this city was caused through his efforts
to swndle Gerritt A. Archibald & Co. He
also issued forged checks on other houses
here. He represented himself as one of
the architects employed in the construction
of the new federal building.
He also Swindled architects and business
men in Buffalo, n. Y, and Toledo, o. 1t is
thought his home was originally in this
city, as many of the men about town are
well acquainted with him. When his case
was tried i'm this city he was given a fine
of $25 and costs by Judge Stubs. Leniency
was shown on account of his children, who
were said to be in starving condition.

REMEDY FOR WHITECAP.
PING.

There Is much talk Of late abou
"Whitecapping" in some Of the
piney woods counties Of this state.
A delegation Of gentlemen have
called upon the governor, and also
invoked the aid Of the Federal
judge to put a stop to this species
OF lawlessness .Of course no law res
pecting person has respect or sym
pathy for the cowardIy night rider
and mask wearing disturber Of the
peace. Such characters should be
suppressed. But the good people
Of the various counties are the ones
to do il. l can not be made to be-
Iieve that there is a county in Mis-
sissippi whose people have fallen
so low in the scale of morals and
civilization, that there are not
enough law respecting people left
to maintain the majesty Of the law
and bring to Judgement the viola
tors thereof. / do not ike this
way, which is becoming so common,
of going TO the governor foT
everything. 1t is a bad sign. !
believe III the people attending to
their own business. If the county
officers would only do their dnty-
~fearlessly and impartially-there
would be no need for the spectacular
play Of the chief executive or the
threatened Interference of a federal
officer. The citizens of the county
must do it after all. This outside
play, this g%ubernatorial stage
thunder, is worth nothing. 1t
only serves to magnify and give
wider publicity to the unfortunate
condition which prevails in a small
subdivision of the state. If the
sheriff Of the "wllitecap'' infested
counties would summons twenty-five
brave and determined men and
make them deputies, they could stop
every "wllitecapper" in that county
within sixty days, No trouble
about it. Yes, it would be better
If the counties would manage their
own affairs and let the governor
and Federal judge alone. Com
