BIG CHECK
ROBBERY

In the last few months at least 90
checks mailed to the Union Trust
company have been stole nfrom the
mails, presumably by some out
slider opening the company's box at
the postOffice.
Most of the checks have been
cashed by erasing the name of the
Union Trust company and substitute
ing that of some fictitious payee, in
which style it was endorsed on the
back. The amount lost by the
banks in this way will run into the
hundreds of dollars.
No knowledge is possessed by the
trust company, it is claimed, as to
who committed the theft and for
gerry. Employees of the trust COM
pany were under surveillance for a
time, but the conclusion was reach
ed that outsiders did the work.
Some of the forgeries are clumsy
and look like the work of amateurs

Farley surveys over the political

J. T. Ono in the lead for the repuh-
lican nomination and N. ]. Laumer
and N. s. Pratt fighting it out for
the democratic nomination.
While the majority OF republicans

lies in the fact that the other can.

chiefly through the support of
democrats in the First ward. but
these men who will not rally to the
support of Laumer may throw their
strength to ONO for mayor. The
Mcintyre element in the First ward
Is out for ONO, although some of
them are only half hearted.
On the democratic side Laumer
has the support of the party leaders
and the anti-Merritt party as well
as the labor class. Laumer stands
well in the Fourth ward from which
he was elected to the city council
and made record as a clean man

party are not with Pratt and he
has ignored them from the start,
II. d. Merritt being one of the few
men in his confidence. The at
tempt on the part of the Pratt fac
ton to railroad a Pratt platform
through the convention two weeks
ago cost Pratt many votes and an
tagonized large number in the
party. 1t Is also stated that word
went out that this action cost the
democrats a campaign fund of be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, presum-
ably corporation money.
The democrats have about given
up the idea of having any one else
file for the mayoralty and the fight
has practically narrowed down to
one between Pratt and Laumer.
ID. e. Pittwood, who considered
filing on the republican ticket, an
nounced positively today that he
would not file for the office Of
mayor and was out of the race for
good and for all. This leaves the
field open for someone to file on
the Pittwood platform for a wide
open town such as he advocated.
