the shooting his horse stumbled in
the road. He admits all this.

LOOK FOR
SWINDLER

San Francisco, Dec 11.-Detec-
lives of the local police department
today are searching for 9. A Smith,
who is alleged, In a telegram from
the authorities at Rena, New, of be-
ing an accomplice of what they be
lieve~ to have been a clever plot to
rob the Farmers and Merchants Ma
tional Bank of Reno of more than
$500. The scheme failed because Of
the amateurish methods of the plot
ters.
According to the Reno dispatch, a
man giving the name of 70. j. Ray
mond was arrested in that city fol-
forged check for $500. The check
was drawn in his favor upon the
Wells Fargo Nevada National bank
of this city, and was signed with the
name of j. r. Cavanaugh.
The check was held for collection,
and sent to the American National
here, which in turn passed 1t to the
Wells Fargo National. While the Of
ficials of both banks we're puzzling
over the slip, they were informed by
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany that a message had been filed
at one Of their San Francisco stations
to the Reno bank, stating that "Cav-
anaugh" had sucflient funds on de-
posit to cover the check, and that
Cayanagh had identified his sigma
ture.
The officials of the Wells Fargo
bank Immediately wired the Reno
bank the contents of the message, al
so telling that they carried no ac-
count under Cavanaugh's name.
Raymond was called to the Reno
bank, believing the check was to be
paid, and was placed under arrest.

days, as is evidenced by the manner
In which the store keepers and help
are kept on the jump waiting on GUS
toners. With but 10 more days in
which to stock up for the Christmas
ceremonies, the big rush is yet to
come. Salem stores are equipped
with the most complete Christmas
stocks this year than ever before.
Christmas presents of the most desir-
able sort for young and old can be
secured, and the Salem public are
taking advantage of these opportu-
mites as rapidly as possible
Interest never dies in this greatest
pleasure-imbuing custom. Every
year toymakers design new tangled

furniture men, clothiers, jeweler-

upon the market, which is much
sought for in the rush just before

On last Tuesday night Mrs. Bette
L. Cary passed into eternal rest in the
s4th year of her age. She was the
widow of Mr.. William Cary, and the
mother of eleven children, nine Of
whom survive her. Some Of her chill
dren she had not seen for years, yet
she said she prayed that they might
meet her around the throne Of mercy.
Those who knew her best esteemed
her most. Though she lived to aripe
old age, we fully realize that we have
lost a conscientious Christian, and that
she has lived life worthy Of praise.
Yet during her last days her suffer
ings were intense, requiring great for
titude, but the end was peaceful and
comparatively free from pain, and we
cherish the hope that one who has
been so well equipped for the duties
of life has been called to the higher
and holier duties of Heaven.
Beyond the doubts and hopes and fears.
Beyond the cares Of JOYS and tears,
Beyond the smiling and the weeping
Beyond the waking and the sleeping.
Our loved one rests in slumber land
In silent and eternal sleep.

Mr.. Editor:-The topic of converse
ton and subject of most interest in
our town and suburbs among the wo-
men folks just now, is chickens and
eggs. Whenever two or more Of these
masters ~ Of the lords Of creation
meet, the first question is how many
chickens have you, ." and then how
many hens setting. " Mark you,
dramatically, the hen is supposed to
sit" But out here in the country
where the eggs are "shelled out, ~
and the young chics maketh the lover
of broilers to smack his lips in antici-
patton of what is coming on, the hen
sets. A sitting" hen is a rara
avis.
While on the subject Of chickens

who in telling about the success ne
has with fowls, can give the fisherman
