TWO PERSONS LOSE BY
ACCEPTING BAD MONEY
Old state Bank Bills Passed az Good
Currency at
Stores

Two busy strangers, who have a
knack of passing old state bank bills
of the $40 denomination on unsuspect-
ing store keepers, are much wanted
by the local police, and II they are
caught the talented pair will have to
face charge in court.
Last night the men were particularly
busy. They went to the store of Mrs.
Lee Ellis, who conducts a misft estab-
lishment at 63S South Spring street,
and after purchasing a pair Of trousers
and sweater rendered a $40 bill in
payment. Mrs. Ellis handed out 81 in
change and the men departed.
Mrs. Ellis discovered the bogus quail
ties Of the bill before the pair had gone
far and reported the transaction to the
police. While she was still relating her
troubles another report came In from
w. 3. Hutchinson, saying that two
men had passed ten dollar bill on him
and had received a pair of shoes and
$3.50 in exchange therefor. Hutchin-
sons place of business is at 1912 East
First street.
In each instance the bill passed was
payable on the Merchants and Plant
ers' bank of Georgia, an institution
which existed in ante bellum days.
The currency bears all the ear marks
Of good money, and not until 1t is In
spected closely can the fact that 1t Is
worthless be discovered.

LOST TOT HAPPY
IN CITY JAIL
ADOPTS BIG OFFICERS AS HER
PLAYFELLOWS
PARENTS ARE NOT FOUND
Flve-Year-old Girl Spends a Joyous
Day While Father and Mother
Probably Are Searching
for Her

Climbing up and down stairs, shout
ing at the desk sergeant and playing
horse with the coat tails of the big
officers 5-year-old youngster spent
one of the most enjoyable afternoons
of her short existence at the police sta
tion yesterday, while her parents were
securing the city in an effort to find
her.
officer Jack Lennon of the First
street squad appeared at the police sta
ton shortly before noon yesterday with
the child. The waif was clad in
gingham pinafore decorated with the
remains of a stick of molasses candy,
mixed with a preparation of adobe
dirt. Her face had received the same
artistic finish, with heavy shading
around the mouth, and one stocking
had collapsed upon learning of the loss
of the garter.
But the child was undismayed and
Rugged a nickel in the exurberance of
spirits. Up to the desk where all pris-
oners are searched went the officer
and the child was not far behind, try
ing to keep step with the blue coat.
Hello, what have you got there, a
manslaughter charger asked the SER
geant, as he grinned over the counter,
and the child came back with Hello,
Papa" while the officers around were
convulsed with mirth. The child was
taken to the matron's room.
Does my papa sew in this placer"
asked the child as she rubbed her dirty
nose against steel bar and gaped into
cell, and the same question was re-
peated whenever she met an officer
or attache of the station, many Of
whom she claimed as her parent She
gave the name of Esther Klapling, and
the officer put her on the front seat
of the patrol wagon and started out
to find her parents. The parents were
not found and the child returned from
her trip and asked for another ride.
At last, after she had explored every
part of the station and examined all
the funny things to be found in the
matrons room, the child was put to
bed pending the finding of her parents,
but just as she dropped off to sleep
the shrill little voice came from under
the covers, Hello, papa"

ASKED To ACCOUNT
FOR RICH ESTATE
GUARDIAN OF PORTER WEALTH
DEFENDANT IN SUIT
LARtE SUM IS INVOLVED
Mrs. Mayme Goodrich Porter and
Others Interested in the Estate
Carry Their Troubles Into
the Courts

Interesting developments may result
from the proceedings instituted yester-
day in Judge Wilbur's court in con-
nection with the estate of Benjamin
F. Goodrich, a minor.
Mrs. Mayme E. Goodrich Porter of
1894 Westlake avenue, the mother of
the minor, was appointed as the guard
ian of her sons estate, valued at thous-
ands of dollars, by the probate court
of Calhoun county, Michigan, in 1900.
The proceedings which have been I'M
stituted are somewhat complicated in
their nature and involve a motion filed
pointment of the guardian ad Item,
and the petition of Rollo E. Goodrich
for appointment as guardian of the es-
tate.
In some manner or another the es-
tate was brought to the attention of
Judge Wilbur in the superior court,
and as the result of the petition filed
by George D. Blake, he was appointed
as the minors guardian ad litem.
Blake says in his petition that the
minors legally appointed guardian has
failed to file the customary reports and
inventory relative to the condition of
the wards estate, and the petitioner
prays the court to make an order upon
Mrs. Mayme e. Goodrich Porter to
show cause why she should not be re-
moved from her position as the guard
ian of her sons estate.
Rollo E. Goodrich has also filed a
petition in open court, in which is con-
tanned similar allegations relative to
Mrs. Goodrich's failure to file the re-
quired inventory.
Mrs. Mayme E. Goodrich says that
the guardian ad litem was appointed
without her knowledge, and she has
petitioned the court to set aside the
appointment.
The petition to set aside the ap-
pointment of the guardian ad litem was
taken under consideration, and the
other complications which have arisen
will be disposed of later.

LOVERS LANE" WILL
BE NEW HIGH STREET
Township Justices Now Have Quar-
ters Opposite Entrance to the
County Court House

OOdlb IlOdoC
1t is predicted that keen rivalry
will mark the existence of the two
township courts on New High street,
over the destinies of which will pre-
side Justices Pierce and King.
Both judges formerly held high car
nival on the fourth floor of the county
court house, but when Governor Par
dee announced his appointments to the
superior bench the board of supervisors
winked at the judges of the inferior
court and in order to make room for
the higher courts, both justices de-
cided to leave behind them the walls
of the county court house.
Justice Pierce strode forth and Sc
lected for himself an up-to-date court
room on New High street, opposite the
tunnel entrance to the court house.
Justice Young apparently believes
that competition is the life of trade,
for he has rented room next door to
the one installed by Justice Pierce.
Those desiring to enter into the
matrimonial state will no doubt find
both courts convenient, as they can be
handily reached from the New High
street exit of the court house.
Hatheld's unusual rain supply will
probably be responsible for a prosper
Gus year in Southern California, and ii
is predicted that Cupid will do a big
business for the next twelve months.
IN which event New High street in the
vicinity OF the new courts viii become
a modern lovers lane.'

SOME OF THE FURs STOLEN

After desperate struggle in dark
hallway with two suspected burglars
early yesterday morning, officer An
derson arrested and handcuffed
Charles Spencer and George Nelson.
Later, with the assistance of other
officers, Anderson arrested two more
men, supposed to be members of a
gang of burglars who are thought to
have been committing small burglaries
in this section.
The arrest Of the men occurred an
hour after the robbery of A. e. Col
burns fur store at 1904 South Main
street. The store was entered about 4
o'clock yesterday morning, the bur-
glars cutting out a pane of glass with
a diamond and then slipping the latch.
Rugs, furs and skins of all kinds were
taken by the thieves and stacked near
the door. 1t is thought that two trips
were required to remove the forty-nine
skins stolen. One fine bear skin
dropped in the back yard of the store,
valued at $175, was picked up by
officers.
About an hour after the store was
first entered officer Anderson detected
a man standing in the doorway of the
La Vita lodging house, 4191s South Main
street. He was a cripple and seemed
to be on the lookout for some one.
The officer crouched in a doorway on
the opposite side of the street and
watched. Presently two men bearing
bundles approached from the south,
passed the man at the door and en-
tered the lodging house.
Caught Red-Handed
One of the men carried a telescope,
while the other staggered beneath the
weight of a quantity of skins. The
cripple still guarded the door and the
officer approached. He questioned the
man. and failing to receive satisfac-
tory answers, started up the stairs.
When he had gained the landing of
the upper story two men came into
the hall and the officer told them they
were under arrest. Instantly both men
sprang at the officer They scuffied for
a few minutes, Anderson finally sue
ceding in downing the two men and
Handwriting them. AS he did so, Ser
geant Haupt and Officer Mart appeared
on the scene and arrested the cripple.
While they were Handwriting the men
in the hall fourth man entered and
was arrested.
The officers then searched the room.
They found all the furs and skins
hidden in closet. In one corner of the
room was a great quantity of soap and
toilet articles. These the men claimed
were a part of their peddling. The
officers started to investigate basket
which was stationed in corner of the
room and when the lid was lifted a
large snake started to crawl out. The
officers clapped back the lid, but the
snake was harmless. 1t was used by
the peddlers to attract attention when
auctioneering.
At the police station the men gave
the names of Charles Spencer, George
Nelson, c. w. and ]. A. Morrow. OFF,
GERS believe that the cripple is under
the assumed name of Merrow and that
he, with Nelson and Spencer, COM
mitted the robbery. The other member
of the quartet will be held for investi-
cation.
