he had one for SIS. and described it in way that made it certain it was Baer's. Marshal Kinney told him to go out and find another one, which MT. HOpely proceeded to do. Marshal Kin ney's information that there should be two of them was secured from Baer's memorandum book. Yesterday MT. Kinney received a letter from Marshal Hopely. enclosing the two checks. with the information that the second one came to light Saturday morning.
 These checks are both drawn on the Arizona National bank for SIS each. One is made payable to C. w Keiser and signed P. J. Peterson. The other check is made payable to C W. King and is signed P. J. Coleman IL will be remembered that the first check re- covered in Phoenix was made payable to Charles w. Walker and signed P J. keiser. It Is seen that he has a se- lected list Of names which he uses. switching them from signature to payee and alternating the initials. etc. That these checks from Tucson were. drawn by Baer is a certainty. for they are in the same penmanship that ap- pears on the Phoenix checks he has admitted writing and in which the same names are used.
 Marshal Kinney also received a tele e gram yesterday from Acting Chief of Police w. A. Mitchell of Fl Paso. in reply to his letter of Sunday. Mitchell says: Your man has evidently been passing checks here and Albuquerque. Checks to you by mail" From that message the marshal expects another consignment of bad paper in the mail this morning.
 Baer's itinerary shows also that he visited Denver twice; and he probably raised little money each time, as he has credited Denver up with SIP.
 It is surely an i'll wind that does nos blow. some good to Phoenix. Baer's operations show that this city is well advertised and we'll thought of else where, even by the bogus check fra ternity, and it may be considered flat tering that Baer undertook to dispose of $9O worth of paper here, which is more than he foated anywhere else. according to his own bookkeeping: more even than Denver. It may be marks" in Phoenix than anywhere else. but the reader is requested to re- ject that conclusion and accept the complimentary one.
 It is understood the sheriff got d message yesterday from a sister e Baer who lives in New York. asking how much money it would take to get her brother out of jail. From the present shaping Of the situation. it is suggested that it will require some thing more than money to settle his score with the law
Arizona republican., 1906-10-10

few exceptions the sum is SIS or some multiple thereof; for instance, $54, which undoubtedly represents three SIS checks. For some reason not yet apparent, Baer has a passion for SIS checks that amounts to a system" with him, as though he thought it was a lucky number. Instead of making larger ones when the field was invit- ing. he confined himself to passing a greater number of them at SIS each There is nothing in the memorandum that records the fact of a forgery or the mention of a check, but the figures speak eloquently, in the light of facts developed. This list is as follows:
 Salt Lake, $6O: Pueblo, $24; Colorado Springs, S36; Cheyenne. Wyo.. SPA; Denver, SIP; Cripple Creek. $36; Trint- dad. $3O; Santa Fe. SIG; Albuquerque s36; Fl Paso. S54; Bisbee, SIS; Douglas. $36; Phoenix was left blank, but four checks. amounting to $90. have been recovered.
 The other list shows that after leav- ing Salt Lake on September F his itinerary included all the towns named above and. in addition, Colorado City, ManitOu, Trinidad, Juarez and Benson. Evidently the fish did not bite in those places. In his pocket also was found a ticket to a bullfght in Juarez
 The record of his arrival in Phoenix was also found in the list, but the place left for date of departure was not yet filled out though very likely it would have been had his arrest not occurred on Saturday night. In the account book also are the addresses of one man in Cripple Creek an another in Salt Lake City and they may or may not have anything to do with Baer's crook edness.
 Sunday afternoon Marshal Kinney wrote fourteen letters to places indi- cated in Baer's memorandum book as having been visited since he left Salt Lake, and he expects before long to get returns from most of them. He also telephoned Marshal J. s. HopeIy of Tucson on Sunday and inquired if there were any forged checks floating around there. MT. Hopely replied that

ADDED COMPLICATIONS
 FACING FORGER BAER
Evidence That He Has Papered His
 Tour With Bad Checks.

David NJ Baer the confessed forger now in the county jail, was arraigned yesterday before Justice Johnstone and his examination was set for today. In the meantime the evidence against him continues to accumulate and there is no further question that his Phoenix operations are but the latest of a long line of forgeries. all in comparatively small amounts, but aggregating a con- siderable sum. The story he told that his transactions here were his first eX- perience in crime, except a futile ef fort in Wisconsin some years ago, has heen proven false by the receipt of fraudulent checks from the city mar shal of Tucson and a telegram from Ei Pazo announcing that some of Baer's paper. placed in circulation there, Is now in the mail, addressed to Marshal Kinney.
 When Baer was arrested the police found among hIs possessions a pocket neInOrandum book, in which were va riOUs entries Of considerable interest. In the first place, they afforded the very information the police needed, accur- ately and at once. and, secondly. these entries show that Baer is very method :cal and keeps close track of his busi- ness. A couple Of pages are devoted to a schedule 0f his movements, showing the date of his arrival and departure in each of tine important towns he has visited in the last two years. Another page bears a list of towns like the other list meptiOned, except that here and there one is omitted. Opposite each town appears a certain sum of money. presumably the amount of forg- cries committed in each place. With
