WROTE MANY CHECKS

Make Good His Sons Bad checks-
Boy May Be Released.

Lee Moore, a prominent cattleman
of Douglass, Wyo., has written to par
ties in Billings who went good for
checks which his son gave in this city
to, the amount of about $500 and also
about 5000 which the boy obtained at
Sheridan, that he will make his sons
shortages good.
Moore was arrested in Billings some
time ago and a charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses vas pre-
ferred against him at that time. The
boy has since been in Jail here.
At the time of his arrest the young
man stated that his father had never
refused to make good any checks that
he wrote, and he made al earnest APP
peal to his parents to reimburse the
parties who had cashed the checks for
him. G1A
Something over a week has elapsed
and the father has, from all appear
ances, relented and will square &C,
counts for the boy. There is no wish
on the part Of those who aided the lad
to get the money to prosecute him,
as they have been friends of his father
for some time, and it is nor than
likely that if the checks are taken up
that the prosecution will be dropped.

Gonsalos Guinard, the new minister
OF foreign affairs, was prominent in
affairs of state during the epoch Of
Guzman Blanco and enjoys great in
luence throughout the Republic.
The minister of public works, Peo-
oerto Vargas, is a general Of note, and
Is considered to have albrilliant future.
It Is generally admitted that the
new cabinet is a strong one and espec-
tally well qualified to handle any pos
sible contingencies.
Acting President Gomez has given
orders that all the political prisoners
In Venezuela be set at liberty.
The minister of the interior Lineras
Alcanter, issued a proclamation today
addressed to the governors of the fed
eral districts. and territories which,
after praising the new government,
says:

The proclamation says further that

rights"
The minister asks that prudence be
exercised by the citizens.
