ment Of $4,000 to Daniel F. Cohalan
probably will be presented to the grand
jury and district attorney with a re-
quest for action.
The mayors assertions, made at the
Associated Press and American News
paper Publishers Association dinner at
the Waldorf Astoria on Thursday ev-
ening, aroused widesprea d discussion
today.
Mr. Gaynor, it is reported, is ready
to press an action on the grounds OF
forgery and Justification of a public
record. The mayor contends that he
was in no way responsible for the pay
n1ent Of a $4,000 fee to Mr.. Cohalan
for services in connection with land
condemnation. The article gave the
impression that the mayor aided Mr.
Cohalan in the collection of the fee.
An alleged fac smile of the check with
its date omitted was printed. The
document actually was dated Dec. 81,
1909. which was one day before Mayor
Gaynor came into office.

Union, May 2.-An old gentleman
came to Union recently and had not
been in town a half hour when he was
taken with para1ytic stroke. He had
wandered up town and was near the
entrance of the Congregational church

dealers have loaded up on muskrat
hides supposed to have been taken in

southern hides and almost worthless
! Fred Hauck was in Humboldt set

dentally remarked that one of his buy

seems that travelling fakirs from Mis-

Gently invaded the north with a lot Of
southern muskrat skins and peddled
| them to local trappers. These rats are
exactly like the northern rats except
! that they have lighter fur and bring
about 20 cents on the market, where
the northern rat brings from so to 20
cents. The southerners unloaded
thousands of these skins to local trap
pers. who in turn sold them to local
buyeds. An ordinary buyer would never
think of looking for such deception,
and would pass over the defect. How
ever, when he sent his furs to the ex-
| perts at headquarters he heard of the
matter in way to be remembered.
Mr. Hauck's man was Soaked" for
| $50 of these skins, and reports from
other sources indicate that tens Of
! thousands of the southern skins are on
| the northern market.
! One buyer in northern Iowa is said
! to have committed suicide because of
the loss he sustained by the fraudulent
dealing. OF course, the sellers of the
southern skins can be landed for
fraudulent sales, as they stated the
skins were of their own catching. but
it is not probable the case will be
pushed.

fruit crop OF Michigan. Warm weather
in March, they assert, started the
propagation Of orchard pests and
brought out an unusually abundant
crop OF blossoms. The recent cold and
snow benefited the fruit trees 10y, de-
stroying the insects that were preying
on the blossoms and by killing buds,
thereby thinning the fruit and giving
the trees a chance to produce large,
