has heen working around Nezpece
for the past year was arrested Wed
nesday on a complaint made by J.
S. Tyler. of Dublin. Of passing
worthless checks. Young Martin
was working for A. S. Carley and in
some manner secured some blank
checks from Mr.. Carley's check
book. Armed with thesc checks he
proceeded to Dublin and cashed one
check of eleven dollars 10 which he
forged the name Of Charles McCol-
lister. When arrested here by
Ofticer Crumpacker he admitted the
forgery and made the excuse that he
had to have money. Martin seems
to be thoroughly degenerate as this
is his second offense in the past
month About two weeks ago he
stole horse and saddle from the
Mohler Livery Barn and brought
the outfit TO Nezperce, where he sold
horse and saddle TO Miller & Miller
for twelve dollars. Upon hearing
he claim Of the Mohler parties the
Miller brothers surrendered the
bat refused TO prosecute
loung Martin He will have a
earing today before Judge Ramsey

near his farm west of town. He has
had it done while teams are plenti-

that he takes in his own, and use
his efforts to have Military street
graveled. while the same conditions
obtain?
