CHECK FORGER CAPTURED
After Concealing his Identity for
q Month---Acknowledg-
eS his Guilt.

On the 9Th of December a young
man presented for payment at the
Peoples Bank at Beaver Dam a
check for $75 drawn on the Beaver
Dam deposit signed by T. w. Wal
lace and made payable to Ed Dorsch.
The young man declared himself to
be Dorsch, Endorsed the check and
received the money. The Beaver
Dam bankers in a short while decid-
ed that it was a forgery and began
secretly to find clue.
On Christmas day the same young
man, it now developes, walked into the
First National Bank here and pre-
sented SIPS check drawn if favor
of J. w. Flener with w. ID. Rockers
name signed to it. He said he was
a cousin of w. M. Flener, of this
place, and the money was paid on his
check. About the last of the month
Mr.. Hooker came in to look over his
account and on examination of the
Sl25 check declared that it was a
forgery. The bank officials at once
began to work on the case and after
comparing the checks it was clear
that the same party had drawn them
both. This was about the last of
December.
The fact that Mr.. Rockers name
was used indicated that the party
lived out in Beaver Dam section of
the county. This much being agreed
on it was not long until Guy Taught
son Of Wash Taught, of near Crom-
wei. was under suspicion. Bit by
bit evidence of his guilt sufficient to
satisfy the bank officials came out.
He was seen in Beaver Dam some
time during last week with a pistol
concealed upon his person and war
rant was issued charging him with
the offense of carrying concealed
deadly weapon and placed in the hand
of Marshal j. P. Stevens. He ar
rested him Monday afternoon and on
being questioned about his stunts"
in check forging confessed the whole
matter but says he don't remember
what he did with the money. He
gave his age at seventeen.
His examining trial was set for
Tuesday but on calling the case he
waived trial and in default of 81 900
bond was remanded to Jail.

Beckham County.


Another effort will be made by
the legislature to cut off sections of
two or three counties and organize
a new one, so that they can name
it Beckham county. Mr.. Beckham's
pets tried the same thing on the leg
islature of 1902, they tried it again
in 1904 and successed in passing the
bill through both houses. 1t is
n eedless to say it was promptly sig
ned and proclaimed to be a law but
when they re-run the lines as given
in the act they discovered that Beck
ham county crossed the river and
took in a good strip of the State of
Ohio and robbed an adjoining coun-
ty of its court house. Thus the first
county of Beckham died a bornin'

to perpetuate the memory Of the

to increase his personal influence
with corrupt politicians in order
that he might defeat the will of the
people and crafty his own ambition.

IMPORTANT MEETING
OF the A. S. of E. Was Held
Last Friday and Saturday.
Tobacco Warehouse to be Enlarg-
ed--Contracts with Tenants
Shall Provide for Pooling.

One Of the most important meet
ings of the A. S. of f. ever held in
Ohio county was held at the court
house here last Friday and Satur-
day. The Fiscal Court was in ses-
sion and had been using Court Hall
but on being informed of the meet
ing, Judge Taylor directed the
Magistrates to convene in his office
so that the Equity people could use
the hall.
II was little late Friday when
the delegates began to arrive, which
was due no doubt to the very bad
condition of the roads. But by noon
large crowd had assembled and en-
rollment showed thirty-nine locals to
to be represented. There was only
a brief session held in the forenoon
and organization was about the only
business transacted.
In the afternoon the proposition
to enlarge the Hartford pooling
house was taken up and it was unan-
imously recommended that immedi-
ate steps for doubling the capacity
of the house be taken. The capaci-
ty of the house is now half a million
pounds which doubled will make it
the largest tobacco house in the
county.
The resolution passed at former
meeting of the union providing that
members who failed to join before the
18th day of last November should not
been titled to pooling privileges was
repealed or revoked by unanimous
vote. II had in fact. as far as the
practice of the receivers at the Equity
houses are concerned, been already
annulled, for not only all members
but everyone who pledged themselves
to become members at the earliest
convenience have all along been given
the benefit of the pooling PROPOSE
ton.
At Saturdays session many i'm
portant matters were discussed and
passed on. Among them was a
resolution providing that Equity men
who employ tenants are to provide
in their contracts with them that all
tobacco raised by such tenants shall
be pooled in accordance with the
provisions of the A. S. of f.
M. +. Sharp was chosen county or
ganizer at salary of $50 per month.
He is required to devote his entire
time to the work of organizing and
so far as the organization fees go
they are to be appealed to the pay
ment of his salary. twas estimated
that these fees would cover the en-
tire expense of the organizer. The
idea land it is a good one) in APP
pointing a regular organizer whose
duty it shall be to push the work of
organization is to get the county Or
ganized as quickly as possible.
1t was announced at the afternoon
session Saturday that the hurley to-
bacco pooled last year had been sold
at good price. j. A. Ambrose. of
Adaburg. produced his check showing
that his advance and final payment
amounted to So or more per hundred.
An air of success prevailed during
the entire two days meeting and
when adjournment came Saturday
afternoon everyone seemed satisfied
with prospects of complete victory
soon.
The present officers were re-elect-
ed without opposition: David More
land. President; Alney Tichenor,
Vice-President; F. M. Sharp. Secre-
tary. The Union will meet again
in Hartford on the first Friday and
SATURDAY. in April. 1906.

She had not changed. If there was any fault it
was his and he tried with all his might to make
himself think of her as he had done once. But he
couldn't and soon she found this out. She did not
let him that she knew it, and for awhile she
forced him into trying to deceive her and deceive
himself. Then one day II all came out, because he
could not hold it back any longer. And then he
was punished for whatever mist kcS he had made ."
AS if his fingers upon her pulse, he felt her
heart quicken its beat, and though her lips were
hidden from him he knew that they had parted in
presentiment.

meant what he said, and she pleaded with him:

to escape: 1t was he who had taught her to believe

Catholic Church in France Has

for the separation of the church and

under the common law. There would
be neither martyrdom nor prosecutions
of the faithful. The churches. as state
and communal property, would refnaih

for which the Republican party In
France had struggled for thirty years,
the minister said, had been achieved.
The concordat was at an end. the state
