WOMAN CLAIMS JEWELER
SOLD HER BRASS EARRINGS
North Main Street Merchant
Got Money and Ring fo'
Phoney Articles

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Ford
has been asked to issue a complaint
against a jewelry firm doing business
at 443 North Main street.
According to the complainant, Mrs
M. Cochrane of $50 Maple avenue, &C.
companied by her daughter. Mrs. Mat
tie Gardner, went to this establishment
and bought a pair of earrings, paying
So in money and giving a solid gold
opal set ring for them. The dealer
told the woman the earrings were solid
gold.
Mrs. Gardner wore the jewels and
short time afterward her ears be-
came sore and blood poison set in. The
cause of the poisoning was taken to
another jeweler, who pronounced the
earrings brass and worth about rs
cents.
Mrs. Gardner called at the North
Main street store and attempted to get
her money and ring back Each time
she called she was told that the pro-
prietor was not in. The last time she
called, she said, she was told to get
out or she would be elected.

ISSUE WARNING TO WATCH
FOR BOGUS MONEY ORDERS
Boston and Chicago offices Robbed OF
Blanks and Swindlers Are Now
Passing Fraudulent Pos
tai Checks

On account of the large number OF
blank money orders stolen recently
the postoffice department has notified
postmasters throughout the United
States to exercise care in cashins
money orders.
Postmaster Flint says merchants
should be careful in cashing postoffice
money orders for strangers. An or
ganized gang is supposed to be ,oper-
ating in different portions of the coun-
try, and from the number of thefts
committed 1t is evident that clever
swindler is at the head of 1t.
Station No. of Boston, Mass, was
robbed of the following blanks: Nos
1917 to 10, 1856; Boston station "a, Nos
10.O15 to 1000; Chicago station 129, Nos
1886 to 1900; Boston station 50, Nos
1913. 1850. 1852, 1910 1881 1887, 1891, 1898,
1895, 1897, 1899 and 1900.
The manner in which the Swindlers
operate is to enter some place of bust
ness, usually a saloon, make small
purchase, tender the money order In
payment and receive the balance in
money.
A number of the stolen Boston money
orders were cashed in Pittsburg Feb
ruary 1, 1908; in Chicago February 2
1908, and in Cincinnati since February
2, 1908.
Three persons who are known ia
have cashed the orders are described
as follows: One man five feet eleven
inches in height age 80 to 3S, weight
1856 pounds, dark complexion, gold
TOOTH thick lower lip; wore black
overcoat with silk lapels and black
derby. One man medium height
weight $50 pounds, % years of age,
slender build, dark complexion. smooth
face; gray overcoat. Another man
five feet, ten or eleven inches in

The company's gas receipts showed
an increase of 1921, It's and electric re-
ceipts $10S,757.
Auditor Mushet deduces that when
the price of gas was reduced the re-
duction was counteracted by an in
creased charge for electricity sold for
power.
Judge Cheney. representing the Los
Angeles Gas company, said the COM
pany did not ask for an increase in
rates. had voluntarily reduced its rates
and insisted that Auditor Mushet had
not been refused information, as
charged, but lacking instructions from
the board of directors Secretary Adams
could not permit the books to be in
spected.
On Monday attorneys representing c.
e. Holcombe and other petitioners who
want electric rates reduced, and j.
Harvey Mccarthy who objects to
arbitrary charges for poles, will argue
before the council for concessions from
the companies.
