There were two cases against
Blocker in the district court here:
one OF them for procuring, on June
30th. the sum of two hundred dollars
under false pretenses from the Fre-
mont county National bank
here, and by the same
fraudulent means the sum of twelve
hundred dollars from the Florence
State bank Blocker in both in
stances presented for deposit a forg-
ed cashiers certificate on the State
bank OF Ardmore. Oklahoma, on which
he Immediately withdrew on his per
the bank here and twelve hundred dol
lars from the bank at Florence, after
which he endeavored to leave the
country. but was taken into custody
by City Marshal Julius Cramer before
he was able to carry his plans into
execution.
Blocker is a gambler and forger of
national reputation and his arrest
here is generally regarded as one Of
the most notable police achievements
in the recent history OF Colorado. The
Pinkerton and other detective
agencies throughout the country had
been on the lookout for Blocker for
many months and most of them have
had representatives here since his
arrest for the purpose of inQuiring
into his antecedents and studying his
peculiar methods OF work.
F. C. Carr, assistant cashier OF the
Ardmore State bank was put on the
witness stand here this morning by
District Attorney Locke and testified
to Blocker's career in that section of
the country. 1t is in the northwest
ern states. however. that Blocker's
greatest successes as a forger and
confidence man have been made and
he is wanted by the authorities at
Seattle, Tacoma, Porltnd. San Fran
cisco. and. in fact. in nearly ever,
city OF importance between the Ca
leo. His income as a forger during
the last twelve months are believed
by those more or less familiar with
his career to have been anywhere
from nifty to seventy-five thousand
dollars.
Blocker, according to Elmer E
Prettyman, superintendent of the
Plnkerton Detective agency in Dem
yer, and his assistant, II, W. Casey
Of the same organization. who were
detailed several months ago to run
him down. to be one OF the shrewdest
and most dangerous bogus check OPP

is due to Geo. +. Rockafellow. presi-
dent OF the Fremont County Nationa,

Detroit is making claims as n con

Denver. she has far TO go. Detroit
Is az or , times as large as Denver
but she is not so fine or so great in
a dozen essential ways.
Detroit boast of being n factory
town and she certainly has many
factories. You see familiar names on
factories everywhere you go. Your
automobile. your steel range, your
plumbing. your drugs. and perhaps
your whiskey comes from Detroit

well advertised names stand out pro-
miseuously on factories ns you pass
by. But Detroit has not the hotels
that Denver has and she has no res
saurants worthy OF the name at all.
and these count for much as n con-
vention city. Denver has two depart
ment stores which do more business
than the best FIVE department stores
In Detroit.
Detroit means we'll and probably

hospitality than many Eastern cities.

some things even in Canon City, and
