MONEY ORDERS FORGED.
Wichita Men Who Cashed Them Lose
Small Sums.

Wichita. Kan, May 22.-The opera
tions of a clever swindler are coming
to light with the return of several pro-
tested Pacific Express company money
orders, which were cashed in Wichita
April 26. The orders were drawn in
favor of John Carpenter and a bogus
signature, supposed to be of the Win
field agent of the company, is signed
to each order. The amounts of the
orders range from $50 to $45. So far
only three bogus orders have been ex-
posed in Wichita.
The orders were cashed in Wichita
on the same day they were supposed to
have been drawn. The express money
orders are handled through the banks
as eastern exchange, and as result
it was not found that they were no
good until they reached the clearing
house in New York city. They were
Immediately returned to the Wichita

Realization made further impression
on prices later on the day with the decline
assisted by pressure against st. Paul and

best prices of the day ran to about a
half for the favorite stocks.

Oh, yes, l know how it is. You get

It back and forth for the inspiration
1t affords. I've been through it. Used
