"There was no need for that

"Cannon had been shorn of prac.

from him the privilege OF nam

Orders Provisions Sent TO Vacant
House and Pays Driver.
A clever forger swindIed the Shad-
duck grocery out Of SIS last evening
by stopping at the store on Second
street and ordering groceries to the
amount of SO and leaving directions
to deliver them to els Wallace
street which he said that he had
rented and was moving into. with
the information that his wife would
pay for them. When the delivery
man arrived at the number the pur-
chaser met him and stated that his
wife had just gone down town, but
he had $40 check which he tender
ed In payment. He received the
change and when the check was pre-
scented to the American Trust COM
pany. on which bank II was drawn,
the forgery was discovered, but the
bird had flown. This Is one more
case demonstrating the danger of
eashing checks for strangers.

THE WALTHAN WATCH co.
SUES MAIL ORDER HOUSES

Suits in equity have been COM
menced by the Walthan Watch Com
pany of Massachusetts, against Mont
gomery, Ward & Co. in the United
States Circuit Court for the Northern
District of Illinois and against Sears
koebuck & Co. in the United States
Court for the Southern District of
New York.
The object of these suits is to re-
strain the defendants from selling
certain of the movements manu-
factured by the plaintiff below the
prices fixed by the company.
1t is alleged that these movements
are manufactured under the protec-
tion of patents issued by the United
States government; that the plaintiff
is the owner of said patents, and has
a lawful right to impose such condi-
tions upon the sale of the product
manufactured Hereunder as it sees
fit; and that among these conditions
the company has in fact imposed
certain terms of resale upon jobbers
buying directly of the company or
it's agents and on all retailers pur-
chasing from such jobbers,
The bill alleges that the defend
ants have been selling and advertis-
ing for sale these movements at less
than the sum stipulated by the COM
pany as the price to be charged by
retailers to the individual consumer,
and the court is asked to have the
defendants enjoined from continu-
ing this practice. The plaintiff also
asks that defendants be compelled
to bring into court and deliver to the
plaintiff all the movements now in
their possession covered by the bill.
A further prayer addressed to the
court is that the defendants be en-
