Avenue Business Men.

Mysterious Stranger uets Money frsm
Avenue Business Men.
A stranger who rides black horse
with a blaze face, and who comes
and goes mysteriously, has been
working the bogus check racket on
the Avenue recently. Last week he
went to Hartman's store and pur-
chased a small bill of &C DDS. He
gave check for So aud received four
or five dollars in change The check
was drawn by Benny Foreman on
the Mononeahela Valley Bank. pay
able to J. W. Foreman. After the
stranger rode away, John Hartman
became suspicious and chased after
him. He made him give the money
back. Later, it was found that
Benny Foreman had no funds at
the Monongahela VALLEY Bank.
A few days ago, the same mysteri-
rious stranger, riding the black horse
with the blaze face. stopped at Mad
igan's meat shop on the Avenue, and
bought small amount of meat. He
gave in payment check for So, re
ceiving cash in change amounting to
81 or So. This check was drawn by
'B. S. White" payable to j. W.
White, and on the Farmers and Mer
chancs Bank. 1t was likewise found
to be worthless.
The man who has the bogus checks
cashed is above the average in height
and weighs about lis pounds. He
has u sandy moustache.

FIRST CURFEW VICTIMS.
Police Gathered IN a Bunch AT
ter the Show.

Mayor McGrew Gave Them Some
Points on the Law-Claimed to have
Parents Permissicn-This Must be
Mritten-PermissiOn to Sell Papers.
From Thursdays Daily.
The first victims OF the eurfew law
were gathered 10 last night by the
police after the performance by the
Van Dyke Eaton company at Swish
er's Theatre. The boys had been
to see the show, which at the 1920.
30 prices was within their means.
They were all evidently under IS wears
OF age. The boys were William Crib
bic, ITO Sturgiss street, Albert Bane,
who lives at E. A. Lough's home, AL
bert Kringel and brother, of 1876
Beechurst AveHue, Alto Garrison, soH
Of Luther Garrison, X. Lehry, Nc.
Lane Avenue, Arlie Bankhart, Beech
hurst avenue, and Layton Sbafer, son
Of George Shafer.
After being arrested the boys were
taken TO Municipal Hall, where their
names were recorded and there re-
leased. They are to appear before
Mayor McGrew to-day who will give
them some pointed suggestions in re-
gard to the meaning Of the curfew
law and the necessity OF obeyiDg its
restrictions. 1t is not his intention
to fine them for this offense.
All the boys claimed they had the
permission of their parents to attend
the show, but this was not 10 writing
and could not be accepted to prevent
arrest. The boys must have such
permission, or be In company with
their parents or guardian.
One Of the newsdeale.s of the city
applied this morning for permission
to allow boys to sell papers on the
street after 5 O'clock. This was
granted.
1t is worthy Of remark that one OF
the boys is son of Policeman Garri-
son, another is nephew and another
a cousin Of Chief Price.

right here In Justice to the said toys,

stated twice-a boy could 20 on a
written permission or accompanied
by parents or guardians. The beys
also say Policeman Yoke told them
they could go 90 such permission; II

ings TO Mergant0wn Under Charge
of Charles Cummings Who Preceded
to Convert Them to His Own Ends.

Mrs. Emma Hutton and Mrs. Will

home in future in this place. They
had shipped their house hold goods
and all their clothing which they ex-
pected to find In their home prepared
forithem by Charles Cummings whom
they had employed to attend to the
remov al for them.
When they reached the house they
found it bare OF everything. Instead
of the snug, coy little home which
they they had anticipated they had
nothing whatever. Cummings had
gone and with him every thing had
disappeared.
The ladies at once consulted law
yer and Charles Held was engaged by
them. He at once got busy with an
investigation. He found that Cum
mings had rented house from Rob-
erJ Bloom for his clients. Later he
had begun to sell the goods. A flne
$65 sewing machine was purchased by
Mrs. Erd for less than $50. ]. A.
Calvert had bought some goods as b ad
G. Jostin also. The property has been
identified by the owners and restored
to them.
1t was found that Cummings had
sold every thing that he could and the
rest had been shipped to him at East
Liverpool where it is thought &c has
gone. Among the things TAX o are
the dresses Of the ladies'. They had
some fine clothing IN trunks
A. Uniontown detective has been
put on the case and it is hoped to ap-
prehend Cumming before many days.
1t is not known how much more stuff
has been sold by him nor who the
purchasers of 1t are but it is expected
that those who bought any thing
from him will come forward and turn
over the stuff if it belongs to the
ladies,
The parties to this strange robbery
are well known 10 Uniontown and

The Wheeling News is very much
excited ever the coming of Victer
Herbert 10 that city and speaks thus
ly:
sit will interest our people to know
that arrangements have been made
for one concert this season in Wheel
ing by the entire Pittsburg orchestra
with Victor Herbert, conductor. The
date is Monday evening, March 18th,
and the place the Court theatre. This
will be the first time in the history OF
Wheeling that the entire orchestra
has been heard. Ii may be said that
in nine years only five cities have
heard more than Fifty players of the
orchestra. Mr.. Herbert is now at
work on program aud it goes with
out saying that be will give the best
Ia his repertoire to this city, The
present apathy of this public towards
good music and good art in general is
because Of the low level Of entertain
ment presented. The Pttsburg Or
chestra is having wonderfully sue
cessful season at home this year and
all our citizens should cooperate at
this single concert in eur city that
the orchestra may be an annual fac.
tor. This is Victor Herbert's last year
as conductor of the orchestra and
probably bis last appearance in
Wheeling, The orchestra however,
will be continued ana at present the
management is in communication with
several of the hest conductors in
Europe"
All of which is not true. Not a
syllable of it as far as Wheeling is
concerned has the least semblance OF
truth. Herbert will be in Morgan
town with his orchestra on that date.
He will have 10 people with him and
this town is the only one in the coun-
try where he will appear with the &c
as they never go Oh the road.
They come here because of the visit
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Strauss who
will appear in Morgantown for two
performances making it the greatest
musical event that has ever taker
place In the state and one OF the most
notable ever witnessed in the United
States. The News should be more
careful when it attempts to TAKE
Herbert away from US. He will b.
here and not in Wheeling on March IA
