 ing.
 By the means of bogus brass checks made to initiate cheeks used by the oyster firm of Lancraft Brothers of ss Ferry street in paying their oyster openers, the firm has been swindled out of a considerable amount of money amounting to something over $117. In. connection with this swindling Detec- tfves Daley and Ward Saturday night arrested one Patrick Mclaughlin, who lives at 11Ss Clay street. The man is charged with obtaining money under false pretensss.
 Some oyster firms, among them the one in question, have for years used a system of checks. The persons employ ed as oyster openers are paid in cheeks each being redeemable for fifteen cents.
 There is a certain price paid per meas- ure and by using the checks the firm is saved the inconvenience of hanling a lot of small change.
 When arrested twenty bogus checks were found on him and the detectives found where he had cashed fifty-seven others. He admits cashing 400 checks. It is believed by the police that other checks will turn Up and the number of bogus checks in circulation may reach as high as one thousand.
 The police have not yet ascertained where the checks were made or upon whose order.

 Dunn Prevents Crowd from Escaping
 --Men Out on Bonds.
 Word was received at the Grand ave- nue police station yesterday afternoon that a saloon on the corner of St. John and Franklin street, known as the Moonlight" was doing business as usual by the aid of convenient side entrance opening into the basement.
 Sergeant Smith and Sergeant Dunn were sent to Investigate and as they were approaching the saloon which is owned by a man name Frank Reynolds they saw some one sloueh out of base ment entrance and walk away. The of- ficers hurried to this entrance and de- manded admittance When this was re- fused they forced their way through the door and into back room where about twenty men were sitting saound tables drinking as if the saloon was in frll weekday operation.
 The policeman realized that there were so many in the saloon that it would be no easy task to handle them, so Sergeant Smith went for assistance, while Sergeant Dunn undertook the diff ficult task of preventing any of the crowd from escaping. Although several of the men attempted to get through the door Sergeant Dunn succeeded in keeping them in the room until the pa troI wagon arrived, when Reynolds and a number of others were taken to the Grand avenue police station where they were locked up. The majority of them, including Reynolds. are now out on bonds.

Thursday morning the citizens
of Blackfoot were shocked to learr
that during the night one Of their
prominent citizens in the person
age of Attorney Chalmers had lost
his life. As people went about
their morning work the word was
passed from lip to lip or explained
in tender accents on the phones.
1t was stated that he had been run
over and his body severed at the
abdomen. During the evening he
had been talking with many peo-
pie on the streets and in his office
was work partly finished to be
taken up in the morning. Hardly
able to realize what had happened
many citizens went to the place
where the awful tragedy occurred,
while Others avoided the locality
till the evidences of death should
be removed. Clots of blood and
dark stains on the rail and road
bed, a fragment of clothing and IA
shred OF human tissue on the steel
rail bespoke an awful moment and
the passing of a useful life into
the unknown.
Mr.. Chalmers was born in New
bury, Vermont, and was forty
five years old at the time of his
death. His mother is still living
at the old home in Vermont and
he leaves wife and three children
at Blackfoot.
The funeral service will be held
at two o'clock this afternoon,
under the auspices of the Masonic
order of which he was a member.
The remains will be laid to rest in
the Odd Fellows cemetery at
