Of the boldest forgery schemes ever

stranger operating from Saltwater,

several thousand dollars in goods
from companies in different cities.
ne used the names Of officials Of the
i. stephenson company, of which
Isaac Stevenson, OF Marinette, is the
head.
Il BY bills for goods of which the Of
Ncials had no knowledge of being pre-

the forgery has came to light. Bills
from eight firms with claims aggre-
eating over $1,000 have been received
within the last few days, and from the
dates of the original orders placed
by the forger, 1T is thought that he
has been operating for at sleast three
months.
Among firms which have presented
bills for payment are: MerlSel Manu-

On each order the forger obtained
