ing secured possession of the cart
ridges taken from The forger yes
terday for the purpose OF making an
investigation OF their contents to de-
tern1ine the character Of explosive

some time Ralph was puzzled as how
best TO remove the contents without
taking too much risk of being blown

finally decided upon worked success
fully. He took one OF the cartridges
down in the creek bottom. bored a
hole in tree and securely fastened
the shell In the tree. A substance
resembling gun cotton or paper
maehe was packed In the cartridge.
Around this he tied the end Of cord
and measuring off two or three hun
dred feet, yanked the charge out. Tt
his great relief there was no explo

The iatsst Developments in the at

Davis. alias ] r. Wiilison, 10 obtain
money from the Citizens National
Bank yesterday morning on forg-
cd note Indicates that Turner and
his confederate were prepared TO
crack a safe In event OF failure to
work their little game Of fleeeing
farmers.
IeSscrday afternoon suit case
belonging 70 the schemers was locat-
ed ~ the boarding house Of Mrs
Geddipgs and taken In charge by the
Officers. II was examined at Sher~
If Minniek's office and was found
TO contain some old clothes, pair
OF shoes. hat, two or three writing
tablets. some railroad maps and
three or four cartridges containing
an explosive. believed to be either
dynamite or nitro giycerine. The
Officers believe the two men 10 be
professional crooks and that they
carried the cartridges for the pur-
pose Of blowing safes.
The man who rs now in Jail re-
fuses TO talk. but il IL believed that
he and his companion are wanted
at other places for more serious Of
fenses than forgery. They came here
Sunday night and secured lodging
AT the boarding house OF Mrs. Ged-
dings on East Main street Monday
morning they engaged a rig and
went 70 the country ostensibly to buy
"a farm. but for no other purpose than
n tho n n af
farmers whom they evidently intend
ed 10 work the forged note game on.
Since the arrest Of Turner 1t has been
developed that their little book was
ornamented with the autographs of
several farmers. One of the latest
to report to the bank was F. p Brad
ley, who lives near the city They
went to each man with the same
story Of wanting TO buy farm.
The two men returned to Mrs Gid
dings' boarding house late Monday
evening and spent the night there.
! They evidently intended leaving the
| city yesterday morning as soon al
| Turner secured the money on ths
notes 1t is believed they had plann
ed to meet at Schltnger's store o,
East Main street and there divide tn
spoiis, as 1t is known that Turner
} confederate spent most OF the da
at the store. Mr.. Schlinger notice
fthat the fellow was q stranger bu
never suspected that he had any con
nection with the attempt to defrau'
the bank. About 3 O'Clock he lef
| the store, going In the direction O.
the compress. Later he went to tht
boarding house and called for his
suit case He was told that the Of
ficers had taken the case and that
they had his partner in jail. He ex-
pressed some surprise at this infor-
nation and asked If the nature OF
the charge against his friend was
known. When told that he had been
pinched for forgery, he said he would
go to the Jail and see him and lefl
the house. going through an alley
in the direction of the jail. So fal
as is known that was the last time
he has been seen in the city. Offic'
ers were at once notified and
thorough search of the city was made
but no further trace OF the mar
could be found II is believed tina
: he went TO Fort Worth last night
and the officers yet feel hopeful o
apprehending him.
