Forged a Check.
9. r. Sh1art, the young fellow that
came to WATERFOWL as shortstop for
Che local ball nine, has skipped that
neck o. the woods with forty dollars
which he obtained upon a forged sigma
ture of w. A. Warren, manager of the
Watertown ball team. Shuart presented
the check for the above amount at
the Watertown State bank Tuesday
just before the closing of banking
hours and obtained the cash. Inas-
much as he has been receiving money
from Mr.. Warren, the manager of the
bali tenn, through this channel as
payment for services in various games
and inasmuch as the signature bore
every evidence of being genuine, the
paper was cashed. With the money
thus obtained the young man left the
city Tuesday evening, puTporting to go
TO the twin cities. He told friends here.
that he was bound for the cities,
expecting later to go TO the Pacific
coast,
Hinckley Goes Republican,.
H. O. Hinckley, an old wheelhorse in
the democratic ranks in Beadle county,
has declined a democratic nomination
for a county office and mas given out
for publication a letter addressed 10
the democratic county chairman. Mr..
Hinckley that he cannSt
endorse the Parker aud PAWS ticket
and the action OF the democratic con-
vention at St. Louis. He states that
his vote will be given TO Roosevelt aud
Fairbanks next November. There are
hundreds of democrats in South Dakota
today who share Mr.. Hinckley's views
and will vote accordingly, but who are
not saving anything about it for pub
LEGATION. Very likely Mr.. Hinckley
would not have made public his inten-
lions had he not beer nominated by the
democrats for a public Office. He has
pursued the right course under the
circumstances. No man can afford To
vote his party ticket simply because it
is his party's decree. His own judy
ment must determine the course he will
pursue. Ii not, then he is but a
machine in the hands of the party
voters. So many South Dakota demo-
Gratis will turn to Roosevelt and Fair
banks this fall as to increase the
republican majority, il is believed, to
above thirty thousand. Congressman
Burke has set it at thirty-five thousand,
and Mr.. Burke refuses to rerise his
estimate. He says it is conservative
enough.
