FORGERY CHARGED.
Stranger Accused Of Trying to Defraud
Bank at Lake Crystal.

From Tuesdays Daily.
William Walsh, a stranger in this
section, was yesterday bound over to
the graund jury by Justice c. H. Shelby
of Lake Crystal on the charge of forg-
cry. 1t is charged that Walsh tried to
pass a forged check upon the First Ma
tional bank of that place yesterday, for
SIS, drawn in favor of himself, and to
which the name of T. A. Thomas, the
liveryman, was signed by Walsh. He
presented it to the bank for payment
and the forgery was at once detected.
Marshal Austin was notified and start
ed out to look for the man, but he had
flown. Search was made in the country,
and the marshal found him walking to-
ward Madelia on the Omaha railway
track. He was bound over in the sum
of $500, and lodged in the county Jail
last night.
Walsh claims to be barber, and has
evidently gone from place to place. He
had no money. He claims that he has
a brother in the real estate business at
Pierre, S. d., and relatives at Sioux
Falls, and ne says that the latter place
is his home. He wrote to his brother at
Pierre today.
Walsh states that he is twenty one
years old. He denies that he committed
the forgery, and puts forth the claim
that he bought the check of man
named Brundin, wnom he met three
weeks ago at Owatonna. He says that
he saw the man at the depot yesterday
and bought the check of him for $l45O

Il
CARS. Tobacco is high priced, especial
ly that which is imported. On Su-
matra tobacco duty of $3.50 per pound
must be paid This brings the price up
to three and four dollars per pound for
the Mankato consumer. If any tobacco
does not come up to the sample shown
by the agent and is not what it is rep
resented to be, back it goes to Milwau
kee, st. Louis, Chicago or New York, q
wherever it has been purchased
The owners of the factories in Man
kato, and elsewhere too, keep eagle eyes
on their employees, to see that every bit
of tobacco is utilized, and that as many
cigars as possible are made out of a
given quantity. As the men are paid
according to the number of cigars they
make, there is great temptation to cut
in hurry Yet this hurried cutting
is what wastes the tobacco, and ii is
not tolerated. Each man receives his
wrappers and binders weighed out to
him in little bundles, and by means of
punching card each time bundle
is issued to MIN, an accurate account
can be kept of what has been given to
him, and the number of his cigars, and
their weight is compared with what to-
bacco he has received.
Once Mankato cigarmaker, who was
observed to be running away ahead of
his mates in the number of cigars that
he manufactured, was spied by the pro-
prietor to be wasting wrappers at an
enormous extent. In his hurry he
would often cut only one wrapper out
of a leaf that was really big enough for
two. "You are working too close" the
proprietor one day sarcastically inform
ed him, and gave him his check and
walking papers. The man had been
'butchering stock"
In Mankato the workers are made to
get much more out of the tobacco they
use than can be done in the larger fac
tories in the Twin Cities. 1t seems
hard to keep so close an eye on the
cigarmakers in the big factories, though
every ounce of tobacco that is given to
each man is weighed up and charged to
him and even his cuttings are weighed
as they are taken away. A cigarmak
er, who received his training in Man
kato, and had always been very frugal
with his material, once obtained EN-
ployment in a Minneapolis factory.
1t was soon observed by his fellow EN-
ployes that he was running away
ahead of the rest in the number of ci-
gars he was making out of a given
amount of tobacco The others became
alarmed. "You must stop that" they
said to him, cor they will make us
all work close like that"
In many large factories in the Twin
Cities, if one employee happens to run
behind the standard in the number of
cigars that he produces, some other en-
ploye who is ahead of the standard,
will give him some tobacco to enable
him to make a passable showing. Yer
lily, there are tricks in all trades
The more expensive cigars are made
entirely by hand. The cheaper kind
are forced into molds and given their
shape in that way. Anybody can see
these two processes, practiced in Tim
merman's factory window on East
Jackson street.
