MeTCliuS SuspiciOHs Aroused
by Large Checks Presented
by a Stranger on a
Local Bank.
THE POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING
Blank Checks Secured After
Banking Hours Supposed to
be the Ones Which
We're Used.

Complaint was lodged with the police,
this morning. by the Central National
Bank. that a stranger was in the city en-
deavoring to PASS worthless checks on
blanks OF that bank An effort was
made to locate the man. but when in
quiry was made at police headquarters
early this afternoon. he had not been
apprehended So far as the police had
been able to learn he had not obtained
any money. the merchants with whom
he came IN contact being too shreWd 20
be taken in by the trick be tried to work,
his scheme being to order goods and give
a bogus check for an amount larger than
the cost of the goods. with the expecta-
tion Of receiving The change in cash.
According to information obtained
from the police and at the bank, a
stranger. apparently a farmer. and evi-
IDENTIFY under the influence of liquor,
walked into the bank az about O'Clock
yesterday afternoon and asked for some
blank checks. remafking that he would
not aclS the bank TO cash any checks as q
was after banking hours, but he would
get them cashed outside. The clerks
who were there did not recognize him,
/ but supposed he was a customer OF the
bank and as he did not tarry long it is
/ supposed that he simply picked up some
| blanks from one of the desks. The bank
had closed at o'clock, the usual hour but
as some Of the men were still at work,
the front gates were partly open, and
that Is how The man got in
Nothing more WAS thought OF the incl
dent until an hour or so later, when a
telephone message was received by one
OF the tellers Of the bank from the vii.
mington Furniture Co., OF Ninth and
King streets. induiring whether a man
bv the name Of William II. Dunbar had
an account a the bank, that being the
name on IA check for S246 which hao
been presented to the furniture company
An examination Of the books Of the com
panv showed that there was no account
In that name and the furniture company
was so informed.
The bank teller was told that the man
who was stranger TO the furnituu
bank had ordered furniture valued q
s24l. and evidently expected 50 II
change. but the money was not given q
him According to the information th
man refused to say at the time he place'
the order where he wanted the goods de
livered
A similar trick was tried on /. N
Rockefeller Of PA West Seventh street
, from whom two sewing machines ha
been ordered and a check for $50, bein
in excess Of the cost, Offered in payment
At both stores the man who presente
the checks. according to the information
lodged with the police, was told that tl
checks would be held until inquiry coul
be made OF the bank today
1 The man who obtained the blan
checks at the bank, who is thought 10
the one complained Of, is described {
| being middle aged, short and stout, an
! having a sandy moustache.

Judge G. G. Goodwin, whose
editorials are eagerly sought in
many of the states, takes stand
on the church militant in his issue
of October -, which condemns
his own position, and proves that
even those who are in the midst
of church Interference, become
biased and embittered.
The judge has always criticised
the Mormon Church for it's active
spirit, and has recent
" given it well deserved criticism
along lines Of light and water
franchises and the salt trade. He
wants them to keep their hands
if and quit monopllzing and die
atiDg, which is right.

ViIIainous Mendacity

In its issue Of October II the
Salt Lake Tribune publishes al
least two bold falsehoods respect
ling Idaho political matters. = =
The other falsehood is a state
ment that j. Frank Hunt has been
appointed receiver of the land Of
fee at Blackfoot. The statement
is villaInous because there is no
shadow Of foundation for it and
because it was published for the
purpose Of enlarging upon the fact
that Mr.. Hunt is a Mormon and
animadverting upon the Republi-
cap party because Of the alleged
appointment. Mr.. Hunt is not a
candidate for the position, 90 far
as known, having made 20 appli,
cation for it Or otherwise indicated
that he wishes to secure il.
The Republican party Is per-
fectly willing to assume RESPONSE
bility for all the appointments
made BY it, whether Of Mormons
or Gentiles' but, when a news
paper makes appointments for it
and then proceeds 10 criticise it for
them, the limit Of lying and petit
foging has been reached.
The Tribune is being widely
circulated in this state free Of
charge, and it is doing much to]
break bown the cause Of Senator
Dubois. People like fairness,
and when they see the stream Of
falsehoods sent into the state with
his consent, and with his tacit, ad-
proval, they realize how desperate
and despicable the entire cam
paign of the Democrats is
Statesman.

The Worst Yet

The Democratic State Central
Committee thru their speakers and
press are making great roar
about the Hierarchy debating to
the Republican administration,
and cites this as one Of the proofs:
it says that Miss Williams, a
polygamist daughter of L. D.
Williams Of Blackfoot has been
appointed to position as teacher
of the deaf and dumb in this state.
and that she was appointed be-.
cause she is Mormon. That a
Mormon was appointed because
she would pay tithing and thus
public money would reach the
church treasury.
We take it that this refers to
Miss Ethel Wilson, daughter Of I.
D. Wilson, who is a polygamous
child and is employed as teacher
in the School for the Deaf and
Dumb at Boise. The position
was offered her BY State Superin-
tendent Miss May Scott, who is a
warm friend Of Miss Wilson's,

Every tiller Of the soil is helped
BY it and every one whose bust
ness is affected thru them and the

for Dubois or Hattabaugh, Or gives
any support to Democracy, votes
to cut off this business by tariff

The Republican Party has al

busy times, like we have now,
but Idaho has two this year

American Party opposing them

Now comes the Judge with an

Now comes the Judge with an
editorial entitled, "Who Gets the
Rake Off, He says coal is too
high and that the chnrch could
bring the price down if they
would only act. He says the
church could open up coal fields
and build a railroad to them, by
which the present companies could
be forced to sell coal at greatly
reduced prices.
| His conclusion is that, because
the church does not act III the
matter, it must be getting a COM
mission Of about a dollar a ton for
leaving the matter alone.
# II is receiving, the rake-off,
that furnishes material for a we'll
deserved roast, but if they are not
y mixed up. in il, the Judge would
have them get busy building rail
road.
# It is wrongfor the church to
barter in water and salt and other
common necessities, it is wrong
for them to interfere in the coal
trade.
Again, if sinner is known to
be guilty Of three wrongs, that
does not convict him Of the fourth
charge.

THE DEAN OF JOURNALISM

w. b. Wheeler, editor and
proprietor Of the Idaho Register,
published at the growing city Of
Idaho Falls, is turning cut the
largest order Of election ballots
ever printed in eastern Idaho.
Owing to the many tickets that
have been put in the field to try
to beat the Grand Old Party this
year, the ballots have to be very
large, and it takes mammoth press
es to handle them. This is rush
job and has to be completed in
time for distribution before cleo
ton, and the big power presses in
the Register Office are running
day and night to catch the trains.
Idaho Falls is to be congratu
lated on having Mr.. Wheeler in
lis midst, and altho he has no
children, he makes love to dozens
o. children Of the town, who, like
the Morning Post, delight in cal
Hng him Papa" In his print
ing house he has a shelf for the
children, and when they come
from school it is gratifying to
see them 60 in and get the scrap
paper carefully laid on their shelf, |
whenever ream of paper cuts to
waste; but that is not the best Of it;
the expressions Of esteem and con
tidence which they extend to him
on entering the sanctum, and the
hearty response from the man be |
hind the cigar, show that Brother
Williams heart, like his printing
house, is in the right place-on
Broadway. Next!
