many a captain OF a wave-beaten ship
He stitches up three or four bags. These
are filed. aEst with okum and then with
oil. which is formed of equal parts OF
fish oil and kerosene.
Then the bags are tied at the top and
pricked all over the sides with a large
sail needle, which permits the oil TO ex-
ude. They are hung from the boat dav-

waters. The effect is almost magical on

FORGED CHECK FOR $40
r.. l.. Murray Former EmplOye of DR.
Gilchrist Uses Physicians Name.

DR.. c. Gilchrist and the Pearl Gro
Gerry were the victims of r. L. MUIR
ray this week. Murray has been en-
ployed by DR.. Gilchrist for the past
three or four months as an orchard
list. On Tuesday DR.. Gilchrist paid
him a check of $40 drawn on the
First National bank. The check was
cashed at the bank but on the same
day Murray drew another check for
$40 at the Pearl Grocery. Since that
time Murray's whereabouts have
been unknown, though the officers
are diligently working on the case.
Murray came to this valley three
or four months ago and has been
employed since that time by DR.. Gil
christ. He is a man of about 40
years of age, a good worker and a
man of good appearance. Occasion
ally he would take little too much
liquor but Dr. Gilchrist states that
he never saw him drunk. He served
during the Philippine war in some
capacity on the islands and has trav-
eled a great deal over the world. The
officers expect to capture the man
and bring him back here for trial.
