A few months ago Tregalliz went to Globe and secured employment with well known and highly esteemed blacksmith named MoOrfe. What has since followed is learned of w. T. Barr, who has just returned. and tSc Information has just been verified by a privata letter received from another party. l. is expected all details win be in the Globe paper which will ar rive today as the matter is the chief topic of discussion in Globe at this time
 Mir. Moore has widowed daughter by the name Of Mrs. SkeIly and she | has four children by her first hus- band. Mrs. SkelIy is the social victim | of TTegallis, though it is clear that he | intended her no more injury han Hec- | cssary in the perpetration of a fraud l for the securing Of a large sum of 1 money. This enterprise. however, was | only successful in a sight degree and ! fl is generally supposed that no pros ecution will follow first, because no | single victim was the loser of any i great amocnt, and secondly, because l it would be very hard to make
 a criminal action hold againss the man.
 Briefly his scheme was to establish | 2 credit of $SOOOO. raise as much as , he could on the strength of it and then | take to the woods. leaving those who l had made advances to hold the sack. TTegallis is said to be a,Hkely appear l ing sort of man and good natured | with all he comes in contact with. just the sort of d person to win the conf Ian
 a short time he vnry naturally became
 well acquainted with Mrs. Skelly and showed her a-ten,ions that might
 be expected to eventually lead
 to matrimony. Finally he played his big card, even though the selsou of
 courtship was not long, snd there was apparent good reason for haste. He
 told her that he was born in Glasgow, | Scotland, and that bis -amily was one of wealth, all of which seemed to be

 now the time, was getting shOrl. In fact there wers but three days Waat- ,l ing of the expiration of his period of grace, when he led Mrs. SlIelIy to the altar. No secret had been made of his , financial hopes and theTe were many in Globe to whom the story had been
 told and the newspapers had made some mention of his prospective good

 specified, awaiting his fulfllment e
 the terms of the will by his marriage D Immediately after his marriage wi,l Y Mrs. SkelIy he. began to conduct him z self just as one Of his supposed goo fortune might he expected to do. Tn
 story was public and he had no trou be in establishing modest credit a - several of the Globe stores. It is sal S that some of them even went so ia Fl as to cash q. few checks drawn on tn Fl New York bank alleged to hold his de RI posit. It is also said that he went t sl one of the Globe banks and t-iei { Et get it to cash draft or check fo s S5,000. The bank people told him the sl would like 70 accommodate him but fl was hardly business to do so and h ! had better wait until his money cOui s be forwarded to Globe by due process E He did not have the nerve to try tn \ other bank.
 However he kept on doing such bus ! mess as he could with the merchant
