Manufacturing Co.

Manufacturing Co.
Kenosha, Wis, Feb. 1.-THE police
Of Kenosha unearthed conspiracy 10
loot the Simmons Manufacturing com
pany Of this city and it is feared the
gang already has secured a large sum
of money. One forged check in the
sum of s2S gave the police the clue TO
the plan. Swindlers had prepared a
large number of checks wrich were
supposed to have been issued by the
Simmons Manufacturing company as
pay checks it is alleged. These checks
had been especially printed to deceive
merchants in Kenosha and nearby
cities. The first one to make its ap-
pearance at the First National bank
here came in on Monday Afternoon
and it was at once stamped as q forg
cry. The check had been carefully
made out to the order of Henry Moss
and was signed, presumably, by L. G.
Simmons, Jr. The check had been
stamped with check protector sim
liar to the one used by the company
Mr.. Simmons said that there had
never been any checks in use at the
factory for pay checks and that the
company had always paid in cash. All
banks have been warned not to honor
the checks.

BURLINGTON KEEPS CONTRACT.
Rock Island Fails to Capture Trans
continental Mail pap.

Washington, Feb 14-Official an.
nouncement Yves made al the post
Office department yesterday that the
trans-continental mail would continue
70 be carried by the Burlington
A month ago the Rock Island made
an effort to secure this contract, sug-
costing that it take the mail at
Englewood a few miles outside OF
Chicago, thus saving the cost of tram
ferring the mail across Chicago. 1t
was also argued that the cost of car
Iying the mails to Omaha would be
less by the Rock Island than by the
Burlington, because the former is a
land grant line, and under the law,
the cost of carrying me mails on
such line is less IMAM over other
lines.
The question has been threshed out
by officials of the postoffice depart.
