WRITE 'EM UP.
Cor the Editor.l

(F'or the Editor.)
Come, weary traveller, in whose
brain
A thousand thoughts reyolve,
Whose heart is breaking with its
load,
Come, make this good resolve.
I'll write 'em up, these tales of woe,
Be they foolish, gay or sage,
I'll send them in, yes, one by one,
TO The Forums Traveller page.
Twill do me good TO get them out,
My system will feel better;
Get me a pen and paper now,
want to write this letter.
I'll tell how I am often hit
BY those | would befriend,
The hotel man with rocky" grub
Ill cuss from end to end.
I'll tell the truth about the road
Since when / first begun,
But folks when reading 1t will say
It's just bit of fun.

MEXICAN ARRESTED
 ON SERIOUS CHARGE
Believed He Is Connected With
 Forgery of Check.

City Marshal Moore yesterday ar rested one Gravel Corneajo on a fel- ony charge in connection with a check transaction about two weeks ago. The facts are not all at hand. but it is believed that Senor Corneajo is up against forgery or some similar scheme 10 defraud
 About two weeks ago he went to the Boston store with another Mexican whose name was not learned by the police and cashing a check gave his friend g. The check proved to be a forgery. according to the information given the officers, though it was not where it could be seen yesterday for inspection. The officers were given descriptions of the men and yester- day the marshal located Corneajo's friend at the Espinosa store. and he told the marshal where to find Cor -neajo.
 The latter when arrested said his friend had nothing to do with the transaction and verified the story of his having given him g. Concerning the check he said it was given by some of the sugar factory officials who are engaged in canal work at Marinette. but that he got it in Glendale of a Mexican named Pedro Fuentes. The amount of the check or whose name was signed to 1t was not known by the police yesterday. but doubtless the Boston store will produce it today.

 appears from all that can be learned
 that the two escorts were quarreling
 with their charge and one of them hit him, evidently an effective blow, for l blood was found on the ground later l At this juncture two Mexicans who
 chanced to be passing rushed in to
 the assistance of the man on the
 the ground. according to their own storS and while they were entertain ing the victims assailants the victim got up and made off. The police on arriving placed the two Americans and the two Mexicans under arrest At the station when the stories were told the MeXicans were permitted to go on their own recognizance to return when wanted.
 The Americans said they had met the third American on the street in a drunken condition and had undertaken to escort him home for his own safe ty. The officers felt that it was
 rather strange that they should as- sume such a task in the interest of a man they did not know. especially when one of the men was a bit under the Influence of liquor. However, there was nothing to controvert their story and nobody to appear for the man who was being slugged. to say whether he was robbed or not or whether he was either justly or un- justly assaulted. If he is not suffi- ciently interested to appear and make complaint it will be hard work for anybody else to prove anything. pro- viding there is anything to prove. The men were released on cash bail.

A Five cornered Fight Under Mysteri-

Late Saturday night there was an event near the corner of Second ave nue and Madison street that presents some rather unexplainable facts that throw suspicion on the conduit of two men though nothing has Leen de- yeloped that would convict them of a crime. One man much under the influence of liquor was going along under the escort of two others, one of
