Amsbury Steals Signed Checks
In Rosebud and Cashes Them
HAVING THE TIME OF HIS LIFE
Was Arrested In loveIock Satur-
day, When He Tried to Wreck
Our City Prison

Last rIluuy AM oatuTuas WOulu-
be sport and all-around bad man from
Rosebud had swift but brief mete-
oric career in this lively burg, wind
ing up in the Hotel de Lamb, where
he will nave ample time to consider
the error of his ways. His name is
given as {. l.. Amsbury.
Thursday night of last week he
entered the tent of the Rosebud De.
velopment Company. for whom he
had been working, and stole about
80 blank checks, which had been
signed up by the superintendent and
left in camp to be used by the fore
man during the superintendent's trip
to Salt Lake. He then stole horse
and saddle from nearby corral and
hit the trail for lovelock. He left
the horse at Humboldt House and
came on to Loveloek by rail, arriving
here about noon. Then began his
sporting and drinking career.
The stolen checks were filled out in
various amounts, from $40 to $220,
and he began to cash them for what
he could. About half a dozen Love-
lock business men were victimized by
the would, be bad man. Some who
had seen him working for the De-
velopment Company were easily led
to endorse checks. Others advanced
small amounts on good sized checks.
But the easy money soon proved
Amsbury's undoing. He would gam
BILE and drink as long as one check
lasted and then proceed to make an
other raise. The business men be-
gan to be suspicious Of his actions
Friday afternoon, but not until Satur-
day morning did they find the utter
worthlsssness of the checks. Then
telegram, which had been sent about
II hours before, was received by
Constable Wolf to look out for the
thief and arrest him. Ii this tele-
gram had been delivered within reas-
enable time by the Western Union
the business men here would have
been on guard and none of the forged
paper would have been cashed.
Amsbury was arrested upon the
charge of having obtained money
under false pretenses upon complaint
Of one of his check victims and was
sentenced by Justice Fits to DO days
in the County Jail. Others, who had
cashed checks for larger amounts, say
they will swear out complaints
against Amsbury, and the Develop
ment Company declare they will pros
ecute him, so there is a long jail
sentence awaiting him.
When placed in the local bastie
Amsbury turned large pocketknife
over to the officer, saying it was all
the weapons he had on him, but when
the Constable went to get his prison
or to take him to the County Jail he
found that he had nearly cot his way
out with a large knife that had been
concealed in his boot. In an hour
more Amsbury would have Whitfield
himself out of Jail He is now be-
hind iron bars and his meteoric career
as sport and bad man is nipped in the
bad and is likely to end IN long

Care Of Flatirons.

Many people have been annoyed at
finding their irons quite rusty after
they have been put away a few days.
The way to prevent this happening is,
before you put them away, to rub a
little warm grease over them and
then wrap them up in. brown paper.
When you take them out to use dip
them into hot water that has had a
small piece of soda dissolved in it,
rub dry, and then put them to heat
in the usual way. When they are
ready to be used on the ironing board
have piece of brown paper with a
little powdered bath brick on it and
rub the surface of your iron with
this. It seems rather lengthy pro-
cess, but it really does not take long
to do, and housewives will 'be re-
warded for the trouble they have
taken by finding the irons delight
fully smooth and easy to use, and
when they are like this the ironing
can be done twice as quickly.-Mas,
sachusetts Ploughman.

Homemade Lamp Shades.

These lamp shades are easily man
ufactured, and add pretty effect to
the room, as well as shade the light
to the eyes.
Cut a piece of stiff paper in a cir
cular form and of the depth desired,
and glue the two ends together Ga
piece should be cut out of the circle
to make the shade "funnel-form"), +,
thus making a foundation. Cover
this neatly, inside and out, with
crinkled tissue paper Of any desired
shade. Then cut inch-wide strips
and make the shade by looping and
fastening these upon the founda-
ton. The loops are graduated in
length, with the exception of the
small ones at the top, which are
formed to resemble ruching. A row
of narrow crystal fringe sewed
around the bottom of the foundation
makes a pretty finish, and few
sprays of artificial maiden-hair fern
disposed among the loops adds I'm
ishing touch. The shade, if for a
lamp, must be placed over an as
bestos foundation; If for candle,
mica should be used. Paper founda-
tion is only for use when the object
Is ornamentation onIy.-The Com

A Certain Sandwich Man.

At the noon hour prominent Wall

his Office when he suddenly stopped
upon noticing man across the
street, and tipped his hat very re-
sDectfully. The man was carrying
a sandwich board emblazoning the
merits of nearby quick-lunch par
lor, and looked altogether seedy. A
friend of the banker, who had OBJ
served the momentary performance,
started to guy him. "Who's your
friend?" he asked. ''He is man I
have considerable respect for" was
the reply. "He was once a prosper
ous citizen down here, and worth sew

everything, and finally had to come
to this. Even the best of us are la

Safe Red Coloring Matter.

To correspondent asking for a
safe red coloring matter for cakes
and sweetmeats, The Druggists Cir
cular (September) recommends the
color from red bee:s as easily OBJ
tanned and economical. Says this
paper: 1T is said that good way to
obtain this coloring in permanent
form Is to heat the beets in an oven
until quite soft; macerate with
about an equal quantity of vinegar;
express; evaporate the resulting
liquid to one-half its original vol
ume and then make up to the orig
inal value with alcohol. For extenl-
poraneous use the liquor from
picked beets' as ordinarily prepared
for the table Chat is, boiled in water,
sliced, and then covered with vim
egar) would presumably give deep
enough shade. Canned beets are in
market and will answer as well in
the latter case as the fresh article"

They will not burn and the paper pre-

It is useful to remember in cook

been strained off the pot should be
given three or four sharp jerks so as
to toss the potatoes. This has the
effect of making them white and

Lost Arts of Egypt.

Analyses Of weapons and tools,
dating from very ancient times in
Egypt, have convinced the American
members of the Anglo-Egyptian Ar
Genealogical Expedition that the old
Egyptians used pure copper in the
manufacture of such objects. They
displayed much ingenuity in manipu-
lating that metal. A chisel was
made by folding thin strips of copper
over one another and then forging
them into a solid blade, while hollow
needles were formed from copper
leaf by a method very similar to that
employed at the present day In max
ing heliacal tubing for bicycles and
automobiles.

iis always necessary to prove their
worth. This mechanism is located
;amidships in a vessel and below the
keel, and consists of numerous pad
dies working in sprocket wheels.
These paddles do not extend at each
side Of the vessel, but are located
within the interior in pairs. To Sc
cure the greatest efficiency of propul-
sion, the paddles are set at all angle
with the bottom of the boat, so that
when they are doing service in the
water their submerged partitions will
incline toward the bow of the YES
sci. This will tend to raise the bow
as the vessel is propelled, the paddles
leaving the water freely and with
less tendency to retard the progress
of the vessel as they leave the water.
The great number Of paddles engag-

inventor claims, will give such con-
