.FORGER WORKS IN GARDEN CITY
Passes Worthless Checks on Merchants

Three more bold forgeries were add.
ed Saturday night to the long list of
such crimes perpetrated in this city
during the past three months, when
a young man signing himself as w. G.

presented to local merchants checks to
the value of $152.75 says the Walla

The sophomores had planned haz-

The stahbing was done by Freshman

them repeatedly that if they did not
desist somebody would get hurt, {"
but this threat only made the second
year men the more determined TO curb
the defiant spirits of the lad. Kelly,
Skibbe and another Sophomore named
Weatherford closed in on Olph once
more, and a desperate fight ensued.
While trying to pinion Olph's arms
to his sides, he broke away long
enough to draw sharp pocket knife,
yanked open the hlade and began
slashing right and left. He was like
a panther. and succeeded in cutting
several slashes in Weatherford a

wounded. Skibhe and Kelly were cut
deeply. Their cries of pain discourag
ed the rest of the hazers.
Kelley is the more seriously wound
ed of the two. and will be in the hos

E. V. D. Paul, who owns large
orchard of cherry trees, near Ukfah.
was forced recently to appeal to the
fish commissioners to protect his pro-
perty from the deer which have been
destroying his young trees. Out of
1000 cherry trees only 1876 are left, and
the reports Of deputies who were sent
to the ranch state that the conditions
are even worse than Paul stated them
to be.
Warden Fairfield said that he
counted eleven deer last Sunday de-
stroying the valuable trees and that
he would have force of men sent to
trap the deer and ship them to other
sections of the state where they could
do no damage.
Paul says il the state does not give
him relief he will place poison on the
premises where rabbits or deer can get

thousands of dollars.

Called in Consultation.

Drs. Heisley called DR.. Hoisington
of Pendleton in consultation over the
case of Mr.. w. S. Buel who has been
suffering for sometime from gastric
ulcer and complications.
Gastric ulcer is a condition where
the stomach is trying to digest itself,
causing the patient much suffering
and death is sometimes the result.
DR.. Hoisington said MIR. Buel's case
was quite encouraging, as the last at
tack has been much lighter than those
preceding, the interval being months
instead of weeks which shows marked
improvement.
DR.. Hoisington confirmed Drs. Heis-
ley's diagnosis and they agree that

Browns Assassins Have Puzzled the
Authorities for Time.

Never before III the Criminal annals
OF Baker county have murderers so
completely covered their trail as have
the assassins of ex-Sheriff Harvey X.
Brown.
Officials have run down every pos
sible -clew which has presented itself
without coming to any conclusion az

motives could have been.
1t is learned that Harvey X. Brown
carried an unusually large amount of
life insurance, says the Baker City
Herald. Today in figuring up the pol
ioies OF the different companies and
lodges in which her husband carried
insurance, Mrs. Brown found that al
together his life had been insured for
$27, 900.
This fact is looked upon as an indi-
cation that he must have expected some
thing to happen to him at almost any
time, for the average man is not in
