names Of Fred Z. Anderson and Jens H
Hansen on slip Of paper and compared
it with the checks, showing identically
the same hand writing. A number Of
the Saturday night check cashiers went
to the city jail yesterday and identified
Bremen as the man who has passed the
checks. He came from Denver 10 Cali
fornia and from there to Astoria and
has probably worked several Of the Cal
ifornia cities
Astoria has been worked the past
year by forgers more than any other
city on the coast, the checks always be-
ing passed Saturday nights, in order to
give the forger a day in which to get
out Of the country. Merchants have been
repeatedly warned against eashing any
checks on Saturday night, except for
persons they personally know. but the
warning has had no effect, and the forg-
ed check industry will probably always
thrive in Astoria. District Attorney
Allen will file informations against
Brenner either today or tomorrow and
he win be arraigned in the justice court
Another matter that has been conduct
i've to the propagation of check forgers,
much leniency has been shown. In Cal
ifOrnia a forger gets not less than 20
years and from that to 40. A little

in putting check to the business and

Police Believe the Arrested Man
is a Professional Crook.
MONEY FOUND ON HIS PERSON
Believed that Over a Dozen Merchants
Were yietimized by Smooth Swind.
Ter as the Amount Of Forged Checks
Discovered Amounts to saI6yoo. :. =.

The forger. Bremen, arrested Satur.
day night by the police for rttering
forged checks on several of the most
prominent merchants, was interviewed
yesterday. He refused to make any
statement. in fact, he has not
been informed on what charge he has
been arrested. He stated that he came
to Astoria on the Roanoke and that he
worked his passage up; that when ne
arrived here he had 81. In searching
his belongings the police found two pawn
tickets on the New York Loan Office, of
Portland, one for a Waltham watch,
800 and one for diamond ring, $500.
The. tickets are made out in the name
Of George Sullivan. When asked how
he came in possession OF them, he stated
that he had met Sullivan down on the
dock and they had been drinking to-
gether in the afternoon, and Sullivan
gave them to him, saying that he was
going to- leave and had no use for them.
Among the effects were found mum.
Der OF business cards from different cit
les; book containing the names of
merchants and firms in other cities and
towns, showing that Benner is pro
fessional forger. When he was taken TO
Jail Saturday night and searched he
had sla5 on him. A large number OF
his victims did not know anything about
the forgery until they read the Astorian
ian yesterday morning, when additional
victims went to the police station with
their forged checks. In addition to those
mentioned yesterday, Nels Simonson, S.
A. Gimre and Bod Jeffery have been in
duced to part with money for the worth
less checks.
The total amount Of the forgeries SO
far discovered amounts to $4,000. show
ing that Brenner had an easy graft and
found no difficulty in cashing checks.
1t is probable that as soon as the case
is disposed of in the courts an order
will be made by Judge Mcbride, to pay
the losers the sl95 pro rata.
The forgeries are very clever. They
are made payable to Fred +. Anderson,
and are endorsed by Anderson on the
back. Chief Hallock had him write the

The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1905-10-13

Percy White, who was SO badly in
jured by an explosion of dynamite at
the Bernasconi ranch, seems to have
suffered series of misfortunes. He
was brought from the ranch to Della
mar and treated by DIR. Farrer and
seemingly was recovering fairly we'll,
except as to the loss of the sight of one
of his eyes, when erysipelas set in and
gave him another setback; but that
was checked, and again he was recover
ing when, against the protest of DR..
Farrer, he persisted in wanting to be
taken back to Bernasconi's. There be
caught cold which settled in his in
jured eye. He suffered exceedingly
and was taken back to DeLamar for
further treatment. AS soon as the
doctor examined the eye he pronounced
it ruptured, and advised that he be
taken to Boise to have it amputated
Mr.. Bernasconi started with him, with.
out any delay. and as soon as he ar.
rived at the hospital the eye was taken
out. This occurred last week. He is
still in the hospital and is reported tc
be recovering nicely, with indications
that the sight of the remaining eye will
not be seriously affected.
Mr.. Whites brother and only rela
tive in the west, Marcus, left here after
thinking his brother was recovering
with party on an overland trip tc
Goldfield, Nevada, and has probabl,
not yet been apprised of Percy's con
condition.

While common lots held about steady
western COWS and heifers we're also
about steady with the weeks close.
With 5000 rangers on sale today the
good grades of steers sold relatively
well, steady prices being paid for the
bulk, while the big number we're called
stronger than the late sales last week.
A few sales were quoted 10 cts higher.
Receipts were smaller than expected
and this may partially account for the
better trade Our sales included 81 head
of steers for Hamilton Bros, at $3.50
which was the extreme top Of the days
trade
Receipts of sheep last week totaled
156,677 and closing trade was slrong
and in some cases values we're called a
shade higher than at the previous
weeks close. With 10000 on sale to-
day, which sale consisted largely of
western sheep, most killing grades
we're quotably strong to 10 cts higher.
Fancy native weathers sold at So .250
$3.50, while best western wethers
reached $50. The lamb trade was
active and mostly 10 cts higher. Prime
natives sold at 81 60 and fancy II ID
Idaho lambs reached s720. TIE sup
Plies of feeding sheep and lambs we're
large and demand exceedingly strong
and consequently everything on sale
went at steady to shade higher prices
best feeding lambs going at S6.S5, while
feeding wethers sold up to $470 for the
best, which top was the same as estab-
lished last week.
