DOYLE CAUGHT
BY QUICK WORK
OF SHERIFF WEBB
Man Who Forged Check for $96
Taken in Seattle Six Hours After
Sheriff's Office is Notified Must
Answer to Serious Charge.

Some Of the quickest work in the
history of the local sheriff's Office was
done Wednesday when through the
efforts of Sheriff Webb. J. G. D oyle,
who passed q worthless check for $9G
on Harry Constantine, was arrested in
Seattle six hours after the warrant
for his arrest was placed in oheri if
Webbs hands Tuesday afternoon
Constantine found that Che had been
vitimize6 by DoyIo and swore out a
warrant for his arrest. Wednesday,
an hour a ter the afternoon trains
bad met here, this was turned ov er to
Sheriff Webb wfo Immediately got
busy and telegraphed a description
of Doyle to Seattle. Everett, Wilson
Greek and Spokane. Detectives Byrns
and Phillips met the overland train
at Seattle and arrested Doyle upon tie
description furnished by Sheriff Webb
and yesterday he was brought back to
Wenatchee. This morning he was
brought before Judge Palmer. plead
guilty to the charge OF forgery and
was bound over to the superior court
under bonds of 81, 900 which he was
unable to furnish. He Is now IN
the county Jail and will be tried at the
next term of court.
What makes the speedy capture of
Doyle all the more remarkable is the
fact that his crime was not discovered
for twentv-four hours after it had
been committed and he had ample op-
portunity to escape on the early morn
ing trains. but for Sheriff Webb's
quick work in getting his description
to the Seattle police Doyle would
probably have made good his escape
as he was out of town before the in
formation was placed in the sheriff's
hands.

GOLF NOTES.

The annual meeting of the Massachusetts
Golf Association will be held In Boston OF
January Is. This is the most progressive
state golfng organization in the country
and its handicap list now is nearly as long
as the one claimed by the metropolitan
Golf Association.
1t does not look as If the tie between
Montclair and Morris county In the New
Jersey State League team championship
would be settled before spring. Each club
captain is keen to muster his strongest
team, aid this seems to be we'll nigh impos-
sible at this season of the year.
Another report has been waited up from
Mexico that several of the strongest for
eign professionals including Harry Vardon.
We're going to take part I'm the international
tournament to be held over the San Pedro
links the latter part of January. Golfers
generally stick to the belief that none OF the
big four will make the trip.
There is a move on foot for regular
club to assume control of the Scarsdale
links next season. When Harry Vardon was
travelling through this country some years
ago. he played a match with Willie Dunn
at Scarsdale. the pair being followed by a
large gallery.
AS the time approaches for the annual
meeting OF the United States Golf Asso-
citation the Onwentsia Club, near Chicago,
seems to be displaying no especial desire
