it is believed, stood convicted in the
federal courts of this district and they

reasons desire George C. Brown, clerk
OF the school land board to withhold

fOrgeries of certificates, state seal, no
tarial seals, signatures of officials and
nOtaries. the swindlers forged letters
written on forged letter heads of the
state school land board with the forged
signatures of Clerk Brown, purpOrting
to inform the operators as to the
status of their land; also forged re-
ceipts for pretended payments. on diff
ferent parcels of land, made with a fac
smile of the rubber stamps used by
the clerk of the board.
