One Of the slickest and most plausi-

vocation in Canon City came to town
about a month ago and registered at
the Strathmore hotel under the some
what familiar cognomen of Smith, Civ
ing we'll known town in Georgia as
his place of residence.
Mr.. Smith had that soft, musical
speech so common with the people of
the southern states and in his address
and demeanor was highly aristocratic
and genteel. He stated that he was
an aluminus of the law school of CO.
lumbia University and had come west
to seek location for the practice Of
his profession. He confided to those
about him that he expected to open an
Office in Denver but after consulting
several influential members of the bar
association there had been persuaded
to try his fortune in Cripple Greek or
Canon City as those places offered
greater opportunities for advancement
than any others in the state.
Mr., Smith was very affable and in
telligent and soon made number Of
friends among the business and profess
sional men of the city. He consulted

to keep the deed until the grantee re-
mitted the nine hundred dollars, the
purchase price of the property. 1t is
believed his scheme was to work the
bank for money through the assistance
of partner in Tennessee, and, perhaps,
the only reason that it did not work is
because Smith thought it wise to leave
town before it matured.
He is said to have attempted to in
veigle the Fremont County bank into
advancing him money on a spurious
check, but the plan would not work.
He purchased suit of clothing from a
firm of clothiers, and from another
firm pair Of shoes, all of which he
forgot to pay for.
He ordered from one of the local
tailors an expensive suit of clothes,
which was to be made in Denver and
sent here by express, its acceptance
impinging upon the approval of the
purchaser.
One day Smith, who had, up to this
time, paid nothing on his board bill,
told the clerk at the Strathmore
hotel that he was expecting a visit
from Senator Mcmillan, of Tennessee,
on the afternoon train and that he had
decided to go down to Pueblo to meet
him. He was allowed to take his suit
case from the hotel and go to the de-
pot, but up to the present time he has
not returned nor has any remittance
been received from him to liquidate
the expense connected with his enter
tainment.
On the way to the depot he called at
the Globe express Office and presented
forged order for the suit of clothes
he had ordered through the tailor al
luded to, and took them with him on
leaving town. On reaching Pueblo he
wired the Strathmore hotel that Senat-
or Mcmillan had been delaye ed several
hours and that he would not be able
to return to Canon City until the next
day.
The cause of Mr.. Smiths unceremo-
nious departure from town was the fact
that he happened to meet gentleman
on the street the night before who rec
ognized in him one of the most skillful
forgers in Nebraska. Smith had only
been out of the Nebraska penitentiary
few days before coming here, having
but recently served out sentence for
forgery at Beatrice in that state. 1t is
thought that Smith succeeded in work
ing his new found friends for consid-
cradle sum of money, but the losers
are not saying anything about it.

them in relation to the advisability of
opening an office here and borrowed
books from the library Of firm of
lawyers ostensibly to brighten up on
certain points preliminary to taking
the examinations for admission to the
bar.
A week or ten days after his arrival
here he informed his friends that he
had received flattering offer from a
legal firm in Denver to enter its en-
ploy, but that it would first be neces-
sary for him to pass the examinations
prescribed by the supreme court and
that he would probably remain here
till December with view of preparing
himself for the proffered position. He
said that it was quieter here than in
Denver and that he could make greater
progress in his studies, besides, he ad-
ded, 1.-THE Strathmore is one of the best
hotels in the country and l cannot do
better than stay there during my per-
iod of preparation.
Smith was well versed in church and
religious matters and was familiar with
the leaders of the Y. M. G. A. move
ment in all parts of the country. He
said he was member of the Baptist
church, but on account of knowing
many Of the friends of Rev. J.. L.
Thomas in the South, he had decided
to attend the First Presbyterian church
while in this city. He gave out the
impression that he had wealthy parents
who supplied him with all the money
he needed and that he had only taken
up the profession of the law to prevent
his mental machinery from getting
rusty.
He deposited with the First National
bank, about two weeks after coming to
town, an alleged deed purporting to
convey a certain tract of land in Ten
nessee for a consideration of nine hum
dred dollars. The bank was requested

CUOSED THE DOORS TO FIGHT

With admirable cOOlneSS n fore
thought Messrs. J. G.. and 2. B. Hood
end Mr.. J. S. Ar.hbell closed and fas-
tened the front door of their store on
East Trade street early yesterday af-
ternoon before they engaged in what
must have been n OF, the prett1eSt
fist. fights of the season.
All three of the men are members
of the firm of J.. G.. Hood & Company
and the trouble yesterday began when
Mr.. 2. B. Hood refused to wrap up a
damaged 80 cents cap that had been
sold by Mr.. Archbell at a greatly re-
duced price. Mr.. Archbell asked that
the cap be wrapped and given to the
customer. The two Hoods insisted that
the price had been cut too much. The
conversation grew warmer and was
finally exceedingly hot. 1t was at this
juncture hat the doors We're closed
and the scrapping began.
1t is not known exactly how long
tn cfracas lasted, nor who stopped frs
but when Policeman C~hristenbury
finally succeeded in getting into the
store one Of the ~belligerents was wash

Careless

Lillian Russell recently taught a
young B~ostOnian something about the
inadvisability of lying that he is likely
to remember of a long time, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. Miss Russell,
who was presenting Lady Teazle' at
the Hollis Street Theatre, consented
to lend the manuscript of the opera to
this youth, who had a reason for de-
string to explore the lyrics. Take
great care of it," she admOniShed him.
II don't know what l should do if a
page were misplaced"
So the lad promptly lost all the
pages.
He kept away from Miss Russell for
a week while he searched diligently for
the precious parcel, but falling to re-
cover it and fearful lest his absence
be correctly interpreted at the end OF
that time he called on the diva.
II enjoyed Lady Teazle' SO much"
he said. MAY l read it again?"
Certainly" returned Miss Russell
IF you enjoy it SO much"
Three days later this dialogue was
repeated. At the end Of a fortnight the
Bostonian, in despair of ever locating
the package, went to the singer and
confessed all. II don't know what you
will think, he pleaded, when you learr
that I have lost Lady TeaZle.'

Now that all the facts as to the
leak in the cotton crop reports have
been made public by Secretary Wilson,
none of the men concerned knows Ii
thing about who derived any beneht
therefrom. Those implicated are quick
to deny that they ever gained by such
information. Holmes gave out the in
formation and he c~orresponded with
some of the men about the reports
before they were published, and
Holmes became very wealthy about
that time on a comparatively small
government salary. Secretary Wilson
has made it pretty plain as o two OF
the men who profited by Holmes ras-
calitv. Cotton nen have been Claim
ing for some time that this leak ex-
listed in the agricultural department,
| hut have been able only very recently
to convince the secretary that such
| was the case. 1t is hoped he is sdf-
| 6ciently convinced now as to how GER
tain men have been able TO manlpu-
| late the market so successfully, and
that he will be able to put a stop to
| the securing of information in ad-
| vance from his department. The A'V'
| ing out of the cotton figures by Holmes
| has been the means Of robbing many
| men out of thousands upon Thousands
Of dollars by those who secured the
information from him in advance of It's
| being made public. 1t is to be hoped
| these men can be reached by tht
| criminal law. They deserve sever,
| punishment. Federal District Attorney
| Beach, of the District OF Columbia
| makes an explanation Of his Statement
to Sec etary Wilson to h effect ina
| on the facts laid before him he dix
not think Holmes individually liable
to criminal prosecution. In a letter tt
| Mr.. Wilson he says in part:
.As TO the manner in which the in
v~estisation was conducted or on the
broader question of a possible criml-
nal conspiracy. I was not
ard any suggestion from me in the
then iuncture as to either subject
would have been an improper intru-
sior upon the administrative province
of the secretary"
This would indicate that Mr.. Beach
is of the opinion that there is groun'
for prosecution for conspiracy agains
the men engaged in this affair. a
any rate, be states in substance tina
his former statement as to Holmes
non-liability to prosecution individual
ly loes not necessarily preclude posi-
bility of indictment for cOnspirac
against the parties implicated.
