WELLINGTON s; B. C. II. S. s.

The Barber County High School
base ball team lost its second game
of the season here last Friday to
the Wellington boys. The home
team started in with an easy lead
and up to the sixth inning they
had S against o but later in the
game few fatal errors in the in
field and a wild throw turned the
result. 1t was fine game and
there was no friction. The Wei.
lington team is composed of fine
boys. They earned their runs
fairly and deserved the victory.
The Medicine Lodge boys played
the return game at Wellington
yesterday. We had not received
a report at the time of going to
press but we hope they redeemed
themselves.

KIOWA BRIDGE RE.C0NTRACTED

The Kiowa bridge contract, while
not officially closed, has virtually
been agreed upon by the Commits
sioners and the A. M. Blodgett Co.
of Kansas City will construct it for
the same money that the Midland
Co. offered to do it-$5o5o,oo.
The latter company took the con.
tract for this money and deposited
$50 as guarantee, making certain
reservations, and afterward threw
up its hands. The Blodgett people
then came in and offered to do it
for this amount and the commits
sioners will close the contract at
the June meeting. What to do with
the $50 is still under advisement.
The Board has also determined
to put the bridge on the new site
where they claim it can be main.
tainedsa lifetime with little ex-
pense while on the old site bridge
cannot be built and maintained
for three times the money.

CAPT. C. j. SKEEN A CANDIDATE.

Captain C. J. Skeen, who in the
early 'oos knew nearly every man
in Barber county and who was one
of the hard pushers, both in busi-
ness and politics, in our county for
many years, has announced his
candidacy for clerk of ihe district
court of Roger Mills county, Okla
homa, subject to the decision of
the democratic county convention
which will be held June 9Th. The
Captains old Barber county friends
are hoping for his success. They
know ofhis many years of unselhsh
service in the democratic ranks and
if he has maintained the standard
of excellence in other climes that
he attained here in political work
he has certainly been of great val
ue to the party there as we'll as
here. Our advice to the Roger
Mills democracy is to nominate
him. They will find him an ag-
gressive candidate and when elect
ed, as he certainly will be, if nom
mated, a careful, competent off,
cial. We who know the Captain
and know of his work in bygone
days, know that he puts his whole
energies into anything he under.
takes and his stock of energy is not
small.
In the good old days when a
nomination in Barber county by
the anti-republican forces was
equivalent to an election Captain
Skeen could have had anything for
the asking but somehow he found
more satisfaction in fighting bat
ties for others than to enter the
political arena in his own behalf,
and now that he has finally decid-
ed to go in for himself in his new
home, those whom he has so gener-
ously and ably assisted in times
past here regret that they are not
m position to return the service.
But our message to the democrats
and the people generally of Roger
Mills is, nominate and elect Cap
tain c. ]. Skeen, if you want an
official who will reflect credit on
the county and render hrst-class
service.

FORGED TIME CHECKS.

Last Wednesday the smooth
work of an employee on the D. E.
& G. fencing gang came to light,
by which he feeced two Medicine
Lodge frms-Richardson & Long
man and D. S. Jones Mer. Co.-out
of $76.4o.
The man purchased some goods
at each store and in payment pre-
sented forged time checks, receiv-
ing in each case more money than
the cost of goods purchased. At
Jones store he purchased a suit of
clothes for $16. He presented
time check for $1,000 and receiv-
ed $21.oo in money, At Richard
son & Longman's he purchased a
hat, shirt and pair of overalls.
He presented a check for $3.50
and received $35.I4 in money
The check cashed at Jones was
drawn in favor of John Coleman;
the one passed at Richarnson &
Longman's was drawn in favor of
Sam Hayes. In each instance the
checks were signed by w. H Scott,
foreman of the fencing gang, and
endorsed by Fl. M. Henson, who is
D. f. & G.. contractor, both we'll
known to our business men. The
checks were gotten up in very
careful manner by which the clerks
who accepted them were thrown
off their guard. They contained
deductions, specifying time not put
in, they were carefully numbered
and their form indicated that they
were genuine and regular in every
way. Our merchants have frequent
ly accepted checks from employees
during all the time that railroad
work has been going on in the
county and, of course, in the pres
ent instance did not suspect that
anything was wrong and they did
not learn that the checks were forg-
ed until they were turned down at
the banks on Wednesday.
The blank checks were stolen
from the company book three
months ago. The forger worked
on the fencing gang under the name
of Geo. Noble. The last seen of
him was at 1890 Monday night
when he paid Landlord Priest of
the Central hotel for a bed. He
was badly intoxicated at the time.
Sheriff McCracken issued cards
describing the man as soon as the
crime was made public and there
is little doubt of his apprehension.
This is the second time within
the past year that forged checks
were passed by railroaders. In the
former case all but one of the guilty
parties were caught and punished.
Of course, that did not get the
money back, and in the present
case, even if the man is caught the
cash will all have gone for "booze
and the only satisfaction the mer-
chants will have will be to see the
man travel to the penitentiary. 1t
is a ticklish proposition to cash a
check for an unidentified stranger,
particularly when you get into the
hobo class.
