he found it was to be 1873 pounds
instead. When it came time to

eve were called on the other day, ;"
he said, ITO Investigate the robbery of
the Bank Of New Berlin, N. Y, but
Il was found that the cashier of the
bank had been blackmailed out of
$500, 900, or, at least, great part OF
it. This particular man was found
to be gambling IN stocks. Probably
the crooked broker tipped to his
crooked friend that this banker was
dealing in stocks and sti0nably
using the banks money. Then the
blackmailer got busy and urged the
cashier to lend him money. that he
might plunge, and this continued I'M
I'll 100000 had been squandered. "
That is one way Another sort Of
crook gets money through this device:
He sends a check, APPARENTLY by mis-
take, to big commercial institution,
and. when sufficient time has passed
for the check to be banked, the crook
writes letter to say that the check
was missent and asks for his money
back. A check for the amount on
the firms check blank is received.
Then the crook gets busy at changing
the figures on the check. Even tint.
ed paper and perforations do not
daunt the cleverest of the sharpers.
Burns told about the ruse employed
by forger in New York:
Along about o'clock in the after
noon young man called on large
brokerage concern and said that he
understood that there was some COM
plant about the paper of the checks
fading. The bookkeeper had gone
home, and the Office boy, who was
alone, suggested that he call the fol
lowing day. He asked the boy If he
could not show him the Cancelled
checks. The checks being accessible
to the boy. he showed them-the Wis
itor distracted check Then he
succeeded in getting some checks ex-
actly like that from the same printer
who had been printing for this par
ticular concern"
The next tine you are tempted to
swear at the man at the cashiers
window when he won't cash check.
because he doesn't know you, just
remember that the very solvency Of
the bank rests on his caution.

OFF-DAY FOR BUCKS
GIVES OPENER
TO BOISE

If ever a pitcher received worse
support than was given Osborne yes
terday by his teammates then is that
pitcher deserving of great and lasting
sympathy. Augustus and Robinson
both had an off day yesterday and
their mlsplayS were largely RESPONSE
bic for the fact that Pendleton drop
ned the opener to Boise by to l
score. At the same time, the proper
credit is not to be denied Bobby
Smith, the Irrigator spit ball twirler,
who. as always, when he faces the
Buckarooes, was in splendid form.
Osborne had a bad first inning. but
after that was in winning form, new
er allowing more than single hit in
the frame, but he could not overcome
the blunders made behind him.
The visitors grabbed a duet of
scores in the first iuning, partly be-
cause they hit the ball and partly be-
cause of the delinquency of Pendle-
toms infiell. With one down, Dad
Clarke singled and went to second
on a passed ball. Aftermath slammed
out a safe one to left field and. upon
recovering the ball, Nadeau pegged
home to catch Clarke. He would
probably have been successful had not
Osborne intercepted the throw think
ing Clark past the plate, and endeav-
ored to catch Altamatt at second. The
latter went to third on an infield cut
and came home when Augustus mus
sed up Taylor's fast grounded. Tay-
