BOGUS CHECKS
At PILOT ROCK
CHARLES COUSINS SAID
TO BE THE PERPETRATOR.
Three Merchants of That Burg Were
Mulcted Out of Various Amounts
Operator Said to Have Been an
Employe of X. C. Warner for Some
Time-All the Bogus Paper Was
Drawn Upon the First National
Bank.

That the town of Pilot Rock is not
without some metropolitan features is
shown by a forged check story that
comes from that historic burg. Ac-
cording to information that was given
the sheriff's office yesterday three
merchants of that town were recently
swindled out of amounts ranging from
s24 to S2S each by Charles Cousins,
the sheepman.
Several days ago Cousins was given
a check for SIS by Mr.. Warner, and
the number of the same was 9. The
check was cashed in Pilot Rock and
Cousins thought No. Q was a lucky
one, for he wrote out three more.
uzing that number and signing Mr..
Warmers name to the same. One
check for s2S was cashed by John Syl-
vester; another for the same amount
was taken by Sturdivant & Co.. while
one for S24 was cashed by the Jordan
saloon.
Yesterday forenoon II was discov-
cred that the three checks were for
geries. and the sheriff was notified.
However, as the checks were issued a
day or two previously, Sheriff Taylor
was forced to follow a cold trail
Cousins had been working for X.
G. Warner for some time. but Is not
an old rezident of this country. The
checks We're drawn upon the First

ARE CHARGED WITH TAKING
LIQUOR ON REZERvATION.
1nlC.i in Custody Yesterday at Thorn
Hollow--Gave bail Each for His
Appearance In Federal Court. in the
Sum of S1OO-Action Is Identical
With That Brot Recently Against
Two Other Offenders.

Bert C'.jlgo. the Athena saloon
man and ban player, and Charles Gay,
also of that city, We're arrested yes
terday afternoon for being found on
the reservation with liquor in their
possession. At the time of their ar.
rest they were ON hunting expedition
from Athena to the mountains. and
they were arrested at Thorn Hollow.
Last evening the two men We're brot
to Pcndleton by the Indian police and
required TO appear before Commits
sioner John HALEY. jr. He fixed their
bail for appearance in the federal
court at 500 each, and this was fur
nished during the evening by both.
The case against the above two is
identical with that of those who were
arrested on the reservation one sun
day recently, and they will probably
be disposed of by Judge Wolverton at
the same time.

West Chester. Pa, SepN J.-There
will be a grand celebration on the
monument grounds near Malvern this
afternoon. in commemoration of the
129th anniversary of the massacre of
Paoli Several thousand people, in
cluding many prominent members Of
the Sons and Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution. An interesting pro-
gram has been prepared for the oc-
casion, including music, singing and
recitatons and several historical ad-
dresses.
1t was on the night of September
20, 1911, that the troops commanded
by General Mad Anthony" Wayne,
retreating from the battle of Brandy
wine, were surprised by the British
general, afterwards known as Flint
less Gray. The British general for
bade his men to fire a shot, and to
make sure of 1t, took away their
flints, whence came his nickname,
"Flintless," The night was intensely
dark, and the Hessians fell upon the
Americans, without a moments warn
ing, and bayonetted them. Only the
genius Oh SeneTal wayne prevented
the destruction of the entire body Of
I, oops.
After the continental troops had re-
treated, the sick and wounded We're
cruelty put to death and the camp
burned. On the following day SO of
the victims were buried in one grave
and during the remainder of the rev.
olution the battle-cry which fired the
hearts and strengthened the arms Of
the patriots was Remember Paoli."
In 1871, just 100 years after the mas
sacre, the present monument was
erected over the spot where the patri-
OTIS We're buried. 1t is modest shaft
of Quincy granite, surrounded by an
iron railing, and appropriately in
scrbed.

Havana, Sept. 20.-Secretary Taft
has discovered he cannot finish his
task within two weeks, having found
the situation more intricate and dan
gerous than he imagined.
In the new general election a ma
jority for the liberals is almost GER
tain, and the task of effecting a COM
promise seems almost hopeless.
This is planting time and continued
fighting means no planting and with
out the sugar and tobacco crops, ruin
Is certain.
The government claims there will
be no peace until it gives the rebels
good licking, which it declares will be
easy. From the bush comes the in
surgent wall: "The Americans pre-
vented us from whipping Spain, and
now are keep us from whipping the
government"
