WAS IT GRAFrlhG7

The Paonia Gazette, in an attempt
to defend C. T. Rawalt's course while
in the legislature from Gunnison county
says that he returned home with no
taint of dishonor or grating" upon
him." This statement was made in reply
to an article published in this paper
recently in regard to set of resolu-
tions passed by the Gunnison County
Stock Growers association in which
Mr.. Rawalt's action in the legislature
was condemned. Well, we were al
ways Of the opinion that when a county
elected representative that he was
supposed to represent the people of his
county. The Gazette says that "the
Stock Growers passed resolutions con-
demning Mr.. Rawalt's course as affect
ing their interests. Now, as the
paramount industry Of Gunnison county
is that Of the stock raiser it would seem
by these resolutions that hehad worked
against the very people whom he had
been elected to represent. Why should
anyone work against the interests of
his own people people who by their
votes had elected him to care for their
interests in the legislative halls Of the
state7
If there was no graft" why should
he antagonize the interests Of his con-
stituents to the extent that resolutions
are openly passed condemning him, in
no uncertain terms, and branding him

RAISES VAST POTATO CROP
Fertility of Colorado, Once Repre-
sented as Part of the Great
American Desert.

Colorado, originally depicted on the
maps as a part of the Great American
Desert" is now confronted with an over
production of potatoes, beets and other
farm products which the farmers find
difficult to handle for want of cheap
transportation. This applies particular
ly to potatoes. says the Chicago Chron-
icle.
To meet the situation, Mayor Watson,
of Greeley, and committee of citizens
have shipped potatoes to eastern mar
kets by way of Galveston and New Or
leans. Such potatoes have found a mar
ket at advanced prices in New York New
Orleans and other distributing points.
The fame of these potatoes for size and
quality has given the Greeley, Col, brand
preference and an extra price. During
the last political campaign friends of the
winning candidates dubbed together
and sent carloads of potatoes to political
friends in the east, especially in Chicago,
st. Louis and Washington. Carloads OF
exceptionally large potatoes were ex-
hibited at the worlds fair in st. Louis
just before the closing of the exposition.
The railroad problem has always been
drawback to farming in Colorado, and
were it not for the enormous crops farm
erS would have turned to other pursuits.
At present Colorado potato raisers are
shipping large quantities of their prod
ucts to points in the Indian Territory,
Texas and New Mexico The railroads
running to the gulf are apparently making
special inducements to procure this traf-
dc.
The amount of money made in Color
ado from potatoes, beets and onions is

tanned in the east from staple crops, such

ARTISTIC JOB IS DONE
Check Raised So SkilI5ully That.
it Deceived an Expert
Bank Official. s
NEW "PENMAN" HAS DEVELOPED
DIR One of Five known Men Has Cons
Back to His Old Profession,
Violating Parole.

* - III. r.
New York, May 24.--So cleverly had
check which made its appearance
in the Tombs' court been altered that
detectives say there are only five
known men In the country-if not in
the world capable Of doing the work.
These five men are in receipt Of a reg
ular pension from the American Bank
ers' association, in return for which
they have agreed to refrain from ex-
ercising their unlawful and danger
Gus talents All of them have been
kept under constant surveillance for
years, and the police say it would have
been next to impossible for any of
them to have altered the check with
out their identity becoming known.
They are convinced, however, either
that this has been done or that new
and unknown ''penman," equal in ev-
cry way to the most accomplished
forgers of the past, has begun work in
this city.
Original Check Was Stolen.
Frank Clifton, a bartender, was ar
raignel in the Tombs' court charged
with attempting to pass the check,
which had been raised from Sill .5S to
$500. The police are convinced thaf
even If CIifton had any guilty knowt-
edge regarding the check he on1y
a tool for the real criminal. He was
held for further examination. Accord
ing to statements made, by detectives
and assistant District Attorney kresei
in the police court the: original check
was stolen while in transit through the
mails. It was then taken In hand by
an expert, photographed, and tracings
were made Of all the handwriting in
the body Of the check.
How the Rascals Did the Work.
Next, with the aid of powerful acids
the check was washed Of all the. hand
writing with the exception OF the sig.
nature, and the cleaned check filed IN
for the larger amount. This was done
by using the tracings already. made,
letter by letter, and using the photo
graph Of the original check for refer
ence and as guide BY using the In
ence and as a guide. BY using
the individual letters In the words
of the. original check the forger
secured all the letters needed ex-
cept "a" and "G' and the figure 90"
These letters and figure give the clue
to the method Of operation. The fin
ished check was done SO cleverly that
the official OF the Second National
bank, on which the check was drawn,
certified 1t without question when1dt
was presented several days ago.
