Forged a check-On complaint Of
Pat Tdbin of Mandan, Sheriff Welsh
last night arrested J. B.sLang. a
transient, on the charge of forgery
It appears that Lang who ssjust
dropped in has been hanging around
h Mandan for the past three or four
EIdays and got acquainted some with
the people. Last night he met jim
Dooley on the streets here and asked
him to cash a check of Pat Tobin fol
SIS which he said Tobin had sent him
by mail. Dooley did so and later re
turned to Mandan where the forgery
was discovered with the result that
Sheriff Welsh was telephoned and
nabbed his man. He was taken be
fore States Attorney Patterson this
morning and! after denying the forgery
finally admitted the act and at the
hearing before Judge Gilbert was
bound over to the district court in
the sum Of $1,000, which he failed tc
produce. y .,t& III 3. 81.

hundred persons went to Mandan yes
tterday to hear Evangelist Jones
preach at the opera house. Upon tbs
appearance OF the. evangelist he was
given rousing reception by the Bis
marck friends and the meeting was
characterized through out by the great
est interest and good feeling toward
the speaker. The opera house was
packed solidly and the sermon was
listened to with the closest attention
the speaker never appearing to bette,
advantage. The singing was q great
feature OF the occasion as 1t seemed
that everybody lifted up his or he
voice In the song service AT the con
clusion OF the services an irnpromptl
reception u was held q TO greet Thu
| evangelist again and was greatly en-
| ljoyed. The long wait at the depo
for the special train to show up wa,
passed BY singing gospel songs 4
which even the railroad men came j
and joined. SO that the walt wa.
shortened considerably, but # was Al
awful tired lot that reached this cit.
