Charles AppIeby of New York,
SO Years Old, Detects $780,
600 Real Estate Fraud.

New York Aug. u.-ChaIles Edgar APP
plel5y- OF Glen Cote. IS years Il and
worth 100000, told in the Tombs court
today remarkable story Of how
he escaped being defrauded of a piece
of real estate valued at $4,000
It was the keenness of this aged man,
who still manages his vast real estate
interests. in reading daily the records of
real estate transfers in the daily papers
that saved the property from those VINO
had planned TO secure it The story
came out in the examination of John
Bough and Patrick Moore on a charge
of uttering forgery.
Gets News From Paper.
When Mr.. Appleby read in newspa-
per on July . that Charles +. Appleby
had transferred to Edith Stonebridge a
piece of property on the west side OF
Eleventh avenue. between FIfty-slXth and
Fifty-seventh streets, he was more than
surprised. The property in question is d
large tenement house which he had owned
for years. and he was very certain that
he had not transferred it.
K. Henry Rosenberg, an attorney. was
retained TO act with Il representative Of
the district attorneys office in investi-
eating the matter, and it was found that
fictitious deed had been executed III

ture was made before Frederick Ander-
son, a notary public, and a comparison
of the signature with the one in the
county clerks office indicates that this
signature was not forged. 1t has been
impossible to find Mr.. Anderson.
At the registers office ii was found
that the deed had been marked for ex-
petition" which means that it would take
precedence over others and would be re-
corded in twenty-four hours. 1t was
marked this way, il is alleged, at the re-
quest of Patrick Moore, a searcher in
the office in the employ of the Lawyers
Title Guarantee & Trust company. He
said that he did this at the request of
the proprietor of the Dry Dock hotel at

one of Mr. Applebys attorneys said to-
day that if he had not seen the alleged
transfer in the published list it is not
likely the forgery would have been dis,
covered until after his death. 1t would
have been extremely difficult then to
show that he had not transferred the
property worth at least $4,000, and his
estate might have been defrauded out

NEGRO SNEAK THIEF
MADE HIS ESCAPE

Sunday night at about II o'clock
a negro who was evidently trying to
enter the home OF DR.. w. H. Doty, at
613 Hall avenue, was frightened away
by couple of gentlemen who reside
next to the doctor.
Mrs. Doty was at home alone, the
doctor being out on a professional call,
and as early as o'clock she noticed
a negro passing and repassing the
house and each time as he passed
he would whistle as if signalling a
Nlpal.
Later she noticed the same negro
crouching near the front gate when
he again whistled, supposedly to his
confederate who was across the street
and in a secluded spot where he could
hardly be\seen.
Just at this stage of the game the

two gentlemen who reside next door
discovered the negro and went in hot
pursuit of him, but as he was fleet
of foot and the aforesaid gentlemen
unarmed he made good his escape just
as DR.. Doty was returning to his
home.
This is the second time within a
short time that an attempt has been
made to enter this residence and on
the other occasion the doctor hap
pened to be at home and fired several
shots at the fleeing negro, but missed
him.
A special officer should be placed in
that immediate neighborhood and

They claim to have just arrived
from Collins Sunday night, but the po-

presence in the city for several days
last week and also noted their suspi-

they were hanging around a certain
place in the city about which the
shadows of doubt and distrust have

their disappearance.
Up to this writing no evidence has
been secured against the accused,
but they will be held on minor charges
until a thorough investigation is
made.

CATARRH is DURABLE.
Successful Experiments in Abating
and Curing this Disease.

Catarrh is an entirely unnecessary
disease and should not be tolerated for
single day now that Hyomei is SO gen
orally known and has made so many
cures in Leon and other towns.
Until comparatively recent times ca
tarrh was thought to be blood disease
and stomach dosing the only treatment
Modern science finally disproved this
idea Of the cause of catarrh, and found
that it was germ disease and, after
many experiments, the remedy was de-
cided to be Hyomei.
Hyomei n.edicates the airy you breathe;
it kills the catarrhal germs; it heals the
smarting and raw membranes of the
passages in the nose and throat; it cures
all catarrhal troubles.
AS there is life aud health in the air
in the mountain tops where the pine
forests give off their fragrant and heal
ing balsams, so there is life and health
in breathing Hyomei. There is no need
of suffering from catarrh if the simple
and natural treatment of Hyomei is
used.
So sure is this prescription to cure
even the worst cases of catarrh, that
