FORGER PASSES
BOGUS CHECKS
Drawn on First National Bank of
This City

The First National bank of this
city is in possession of another
forged check from a clever forger.
who recently operated in the Wal
lace territory under the name of
Frank Campbell. While Campbell
conducted his forging operations in
Wallace the local bank received two
of his worthless checks from the ma
tional bank at that place for collec-
ton.
The method employed by Camp
bell at Wallace was to draw a check
payable to some fictitious person on
the regular check blanks used by
the local bank. Across the face of
the checks occurred the word Ger
titled" imprinted by the use of a
rubber stamp. Underneath this was
written the name C. P. Mills, assist
ant cashier, and below this in stamp
the words, First National Bank. The
name did not answer to any official
connected with the local bank, nor
was the stamp used similar to that
used by the local bank in marking
is checks certified. The forger or
bis confederate would then present
he fraudulent certified check to a
merchant in payment for a purchase
and receive the balance over the
amount of the purchase price for
which the check called in cash.
The last check received by the To-
BAL bank is from Sprague, Wash,
Ind while the check is not signed by
Frank Campbell, the handwriting
hnd other things stamp it as his
work. 1t is similar to those issued
BIT Wallace, save that it is signed
Campbell Lumber Co., F. Co." and
instead of containing the name OF
B. P. Mills, assistant cashier, it con-
aims that of F. w. Tinkle, cashier
bf the bank. The check is drawn in
favor of c. H. Kane for the amount
BIZ $50, and was presented to the
taF Clothing company at Sprague
presumably in payment for goods
purchased 1t bears that company s
Endorsement and the Endorsement OF
F. Green & Co., bankers, and the
Did National bank at Spokane. which
atter institution sent it to the local
ank for collection.
The forger had no trouble in pre-,
ailing upon merchants to accept his
hecks at Wallace, owing to the fact
lat they were certified, and this
eems also to be the case at Sprague
he local bank has notified the Ole
ational at Spokane of the worth
essness of the check and also takeI
be matter up with the National Pro
ective association and intend to take
ll necessary steps to apprehend the
Drger.

claim that they are complying with
the its terms, both as to quality and

that the difference exists between

the coming season and harden
ing his muscles in the logging
camp.
As is generally known, Mr.. Rice IS
a graduate from the famous Leland
Powers School of Oratory in Boston
and for the past two years has been
a teacher of the dramatic art in that
famous institution.
On September 90 he returns to
Boston to take up his work as teach
err for the greater part of the winter.
However, during the winter months
he will fill more than half hundred
recital engagements in the New Eng
land states.
Early next year he formally enters
the platform world as one of the at
fractions of the Slayton Lyceum Bu-
reau, perhaps the greatest 1yceum
bureau in the country and one which
handles Bryan, LaFollette, Dolliver,
Balm. Folk and many others of the
great lecturers and entertainers of
America.
The Slayton people have made a
two years contract with Mr.. Rice at
splendid salary and with the agree
ment to pay all his expenses. He has
| been booked for many of the leading
Chautauquas for next summer and
also for many of/the strongest lee
ture courses in America, among them
being the Yale College course, the
most exclusive in the country, and

the animal lying on a rock on the
side of mountain, and had nothing
in the way of firearms with him eX-
cent revolver, and with that he
fired at the cat. The bullet only
wounded the cat. and a fierce fight
ensued in which the fireman was vic

of the hill in great bounds and
jumped on Black, scratching him Sc
verely: but he had presence of mind
enough to get a large knife out of
his pocket and to stab the animal in
the breast. Black intends to send
the hide of the cat, with an account
of the adventure to friends in the

like wild cat, except in circuses.-
