Ensley, June 27.-(Special)-The au- thorities are making a vigorous search to locate one Frank Scott, colored, who, it is believed, is wanted for having se- cured the cash on a postal order for $i0 that was the property of another negro named Frank Scott. The trouble was started by the wrong man opening the letter, which contained the postoffice or der.
 On June Frank Scott presented to Postmaster Clayton an order for s10. The postmaster declined to. cash the order until Scott secured someone to identify him. Scott then called in Albert Elmore. colored, who is employed by the Ensley company Fillmore stated that the name of the holder of the money order was Frank Scott. The postmaster then paid the money to Scott.
 A few days ago another named Frank Scott appeared upon the scene and claimed that a postoffice order had been sent him to Ensley. which he had failed to receive.
 The postmaster was convinced that the order had been sent to the second Frank Scott. On investigation he discovered that the negro who had been paid the money on the order had run away. The postmaster then had Albert Fillmore ar rested and his trial came up before Jus -tice of the Peace Donaldson this morn ing.
 Assistant Uunited States District Att torney Standifer represented the govern ment and Frank Deedmeyer represented the defendant. The defense proved by a number of witnesses that the Frank Scott who had ran away had lived in Ensley for several months. All the evil dence showed that there were two Frank Scotts in the city. At the conclusion of the testimony the United States attorney asked that the defendant not be held to await the action of the grand jury. FL more was then released by Justice Don- aldson.

Albert C. Rice, a native of Mer-
Ger county, twenty-five years old,
went the pace that kills. Two
years ago he became the cashier
of a bank at Gratz, Owen county.
He soon became acquainted with
all the young ladies in the com.

spending money. In fact he was
so liberal with the young people,
he was known as the cleverest
and most accommodating young
man in the town. His books were
examined a few days ago and ii
was found that he was $4,000
short. His associates knew that
he was going the pace that kills,
but they said not a word.
