Some OF the boys got off good one
on Policeman Pete Christensen Mon
day night, Pete" is as attentive TO
his duties as he is big and good-natur-
ed so when he saw five young men act
ing like they might remove anything
from gate TO a plate-glass window,
he kept his eye on them. The young
men finally noticed that Christensen
was keeping keeping tab on them so de
cided on joke. They made their disap-
pearance quickly and in a short time
came down the street pulling a car
riage. Pete thought he had them
dead TO right" and proceeded to col
lar the boys. They put up some great
talk, got sassy and one big six.footer
refused TO be arrested and taken to
jail as Pete wanted to treat him.
Christensen warmed up then and sent
to the opera house for Marshal Crock
EFT. When he arrived on the scene,
he inquired of the boys where they
secured their rig and was told that
they had hired it of Vaughan. The
laugh was on Pete.
The REPUBLICAN used so much
space last issue in setting forth GER
tain phases Of the political situation
that the escapade of one f. Il. Davis,
who is now in the county jail here,
was not mentioned. Davis was
arrested in Salt Lake city Saturday
on charge OF forgery. The name OF
Prof. Weston Vernon was forged to a
note for 5000, and it is also claimed
that Davis tried to pass a 5000 bogus
check. Some time ago Davis inqur-
ed Of the Thatcher bank whether a
$500 note endorsed by Mr.. Vernon, and
Prof. Jensen of the a. c. of g. would
be honored. He was told that il
would and the following day returned
10 the bank with the note properly
endorsed. The money was paid him.
He then left town. 4 few days ago a
Salt Lake man inquired by phone as
TO whether Prof. Vernon's check for
$3.50 was good. Mr.. Hatch replied
that 1t was good for even a larger
amount. In the course of the con-
verSation, Mr.. Hatch became slightly
suspicious and later 'phoned Mr..
Vernon. That gentleman had given
MI. Davis no check, and then Mr..
Hatch asked about the note. Mr..
Vernon said he had not endorsed a
note for Davis. A warrant was issued
and Davis was returned to Logan.
The young man was at one time an
instructor at the b. Y. c. and recent
ly student at Harvard, In getting
the 500 of the Thatcher bank he said
that IL was in order to continue at
Harvard. He now denies having at
tempted to pass the check and said ne
was led TO forge the endorsement on
| the note because he was i'll of Brigbt's
