Forging the name Of c. c. Woodward
of the Tampa Times to a check for $50
made payable to himself and securing
the cash for this amount from Marshall
Field & Co., in Chicago, is the latest
stunt Don c. Thompson, recently en-
plOyed by the Times, has pulled off.
Duly endorsed, the check came to
Tampa yesterday through the Ameri-
can National Bank. That it was fraud
ulent was apparent. Mr.. Woodward
refused payment and Marshall Field &
Co. will be notified of the fraud. This
is the same young man who married a
Miss Williams of this city and a few
days afterward deserted her in New
York, leaving her in destitute circum-
stances. He has forged several checks
in Illinois and is keeping himself in a
disreputable light continuously before
the people. Tampa Tribune.

A negro guard who thought he was
going to get a S. reward for convey
ing an escaped convict back to a Flor
ida turpentine camp, got bullet in his
back instead and lost his life. The eS-
capped convict was a negro who got
away from the turpentine camp of A.
j. COnOly, across the Florida line near
Perry. He turned up shortly after his
escape at the MallOy turpentine camp
some miles from COnOly's. The latter
was notified that the convict was being
detained at MallOy's and he offered S.
for his return. A negro guard, one of
the best at MallOy's, asked to take the
convict back and get the reward. The
two negroes started on foot and while
on the way the guards dog freed a
'pOssum. With the 'pOssum before
him the guard forgot the S.. He de-
eided they should catch the 'pOssum and
in the excitement of the capture grew
careless and set his gun down. His
prisoner seized it and shot him dead
and left him in the woods. As the ne
grOeS did not show up at either camp,
it was thought both of them had run
away. A few days later MallOy was
coming up to Quitman on a South
Georgia Railway train, and looking out
the window saw the escaped convict
walking along the track. He got the
conductor to stop the train. The negro
began to run, but Mr.. MallOy and
others caught him. He confessed the
details Of his murder of the guard and
took his captOrS to the woods, where
the dead negro was lying. He was
taken to Perry and put in Jail He will
probably be tried for murder.

sale grocer Of West Tampa, was fOuny
murdered as he was nearing his home
on Green street, about 8 O'Clock Sat-
urday night. He was approaching his
house accompanying his two little girls,
when two men appeared with shOt-guns
which were leveled at him and fired,
the contents Of one striking him in the
eye, and that Of the other lodging in
his head, causing almost instant death.
The two men threw down their guns,
after discharging them at their victim
and fed. They have not yet been ap-
pretended, though the authorities are
confident that by means Of the weapons
left behind by the fleeing men, they
will soon be discovered.

Charged with obtaining goods under
false pretenses J. E. HUMPHREYS, a
young white man, was arrested yester-
day afternoon by Detectives Crawford
and CahOOn. He was last night deliv-
cred to Sheriff HOustOun, Of Leon
county, as he is wanted in Tallahassee
for having passed a worthless check.
The local police were advised several
days ago that HUMPHREYS was believed
to be in this city and a search was
made for him yesterday morning, the
detectives going to the various places
where he was supposed to frequent. 1t
was not until yesterday afternoon that
the officers sighted their man near the
pOstOfice building. He was promptly
taken in charge and sent to police
headquarters where he was locked up.

Isabelle Draft, the wife of the color
ed minister whose body was found in
Marion county early Monday morning,
and Albert Smith, who has been en-
plOyed about their place for the past
several years, were arrested April 8th
by Sheriff Galloway and brought to
0cala and charged with the crime. The
murder was a most brutal one, the man
after being shot from the rear was
dubbed about the head with a heavy
instrument and dragged some distance
from the house where he was found
Smiths departure, shortly after the
murder, aroused suspicion, and after a
few hours work on the case, Sheriff
Galloway arrested Smith and the min
iSter,,s wife as we'll. Blood stains were
found on their clothing.
