FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY.
Frauds In Watch Cases.

According to an article in the Cincinnati
Commercial, a fifty-one pound stone was
recently found in that city sccrctcd in a
bale of hay of eighty pounds.
This is not ns bad as finding n lump OF
lead of nearly one-half the weight of the
solid gold watch case socrcted in the cen.
ter Of the case.
Gold watch cases are sold by weight,
and no one can see where this lead is Sc
creted until the springs of the case are
taken out and the lead will be found Sc
creted behind them.
These cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest but furnish the means
to tho dishonest to rob the public. 1t is
not pleasant for anyone to find that he has
lugged a lump of lead in his watch case.
Another trick the makers of spurious
solid gold watch cases is to stamp the case
not stamp any article made out of gold
and silver except coin, and the fakir, by
using this stamp, wants to make the public
believe that the government had something
to do with tho stamping or guaranteeing
the fneness of watch cases.
Another trick of the watch fakir Is to
advertise watch described as o solid gold
filled watch with n twenty or twenty-five
year guarantee. These watches are gen
orally sent c. o. d.. and II the purchaser
has paid for the watch he finds that the
Company which guaranteed the watch to
wear is not in existence.
The Dueber Hampden Watch Company
OF Canton, Ohio, who are constantly ex-
posing these frauds, will furnish tho
names of the manufacturers who are In
this questionable business.

HOLD THAT He WAS
JUSTIFIED
In AssauIting Dr.. Brough-

The Commission Also Finds That
Chief Westbrook Drank and Loafed
in Barrooms While on
Duty.
(By the Associated Press.)

Albany, Ga, Sept. 27.-The> trial OF
Chief of Police Westbrook on the SEN
sational charges first preferred by DR..
L. c.. Broughton, of Atlanta. in a ser
mon here three months ago and fol-
lowing which the preacher was cow
hided by the chief, was concluded late
this afternoon.
OF the seven specific charges pre-
ferred the chief is found guilty of two,
viz: drinking while on duty, and in
uniform; visiting Dar-rooms while on
duty and lettering in such places. The
commission imposed a fine of $25 for
each of these ofTaGces and eXonerated
him on all other charges. OF the
charge of assault on the minister the
commissioners said
eve find Chief Westbrook guilty OF
this charge, but in our opinion the
peculiar circumstances justified him
as a man in pursuing the course he
did
The verdict is regarded by West
brooks friends as an exoneraton, as
he was not found guilty Off one OF
the most serious charges. A feature
of the trial was development OF the
fact that DR.. Broughton did not hav {
affidavits to sustain his charges as ne
claimed to have at the time he made
his pulpit attack.

The latest development in the situation

extended to the north, east and ives,

seems to be moving with great deliber-

Il rapid advance of both wings when
an attempt is made to close the net.
although the imaginary line connect

that the fate of Mukden cannot long
