FRAUD DISCOVERED
B. 3. Alder, Of Sulphur Spring,
Gets Suite Of Furniture In.
stead of Doc Mangrum.

B. B. Alder of Sulphur Spring, got
the Fine Suite of Furniture offered by
| S. L. Pryor & Son, of Whitwell, dur
ing the months of November and De-
cember, to the one holding the win
ming number. It was announced in
this paper week before last that Doc
Mangrum was the winner, but thereby
hangs tale, which was unearthed by
News reporter Friday while at
! Whitwell
1t seems that when Mangrum pre-
sented his ticket with the lucky num-
Der thereon, No. 9499, the edges where
torn in two at perforation in centre,
did not fit as they should. There was
bit left on the duplicate held by Pry-
or & Son, which would not fit into
Mangrum' ticket. The Pryors there
upon 'smelled a mouse" and refused
to deliver the furniture until an inves-
tigation could be made. and upon sug-
gestion of Mr.. Miller, one of their
clerks, Mangrum's ticket was taken
to @. A. Rigby's watch repairing es-
Enlistment and placed under a strong
magnifying glass. Here an attempted
fraud was at once apparent, for 1t was
at once discovered that the last tblee
figures. 400, had been cleverly cut
from other tickets of like color, a
portion of the surface of paper re-
moved, and these pieces substituted,
making the ticket appear 0. K. The
figures were put up in line with the
others nicely and the job would have
deceived Pryor 81 Son easily had the
tickets matched where torn in two.
But this is where Mr.. Alder enters
the scene. He read in the News--his
favorite paper, of couIse-that Man
grum had secured the prize, but the
number sort of interested him, as he
believed he had a similar number, and
an investigation proved the fact. He
wrote to. Pryor u Son, who told him
to bring it over, and let them see IL,
which he did, and his ticket joined
perfectly with that held by them, the
number was identical and had not
been tempered with. The Pryors in
him to take the furniture
away. as they were convinced that his
ticket was the correct one and the 9th
or fraud. and he loaded 1t up Fri
day evening. as5
Mangrum, on being questioned re-
gsrding why he presented such tick
ct, said he got it from an orphan Guild |
staying with him. The work, how
ever, was so we'll done that it is i'm
probable that child could have done
II. or even thought of doing such a
trick as substituting the figures. Man
grum, it is said, is in hard circum-
stances, and it has been alleged hit
upon this plan to get the furniture
himself. However, whoever did 1t,
did not reckon upon the joining Of the
edges of the torn slips to figure in the
a precaution which the
Messrs. Pryor have insisted upon in
order to protect the rightful winners
Of prize offered by them. The Ply
ors greatly regret the occurrence, but
will take no further steps as the fraud
was discovered so promptly. and are
sorry to learn that restitution in a
family should prompt any member of
it to such an attempt to deceive.

INCREASED
CAPITAL STOCK
will Build Brick Block to Acco.
modate Bank.

That the Bank of Whitwell is in 8
prosperous condition is evidenced BY
the vote of the. stockholders Tuesday
night to increase the capital stock Of
the Bank from $40, COO to 1875, 900. This
is a progressive move, as it broadens
the field of the Bank, placing 1t among
class of banks that have larger CAPT.
tai. Dividends have been SO regularly
paid that the stockholders have the ut
most confidence in the management,
and hence decided to increase capital
stock
A further move was the purchase OF
the corner lot adjoining the combined
stores of s. L. Pryor 6 Son, for the
purpose Of building a brick block for
the accommodation of the bank, which
will give it up to date facilities.
We are glad to see the growth OF
the bank, and feel that it is largely
due to the careful management of the
Cashier, Mr.. J. r. Morgan, and his
assistant, Mr.. Robt. Dykes, whose
courteous and considerate treatment OF
those doing business with the Bank is
large factor in holding patronage.

REPAIRING TILDEN BRIDGE

The commissioners of Bingham and
Bannock counties have undertaken to
stop big washout on the northern
bank by the Tilden bridge. The cur
rent has shifted entirely across the
channel from where it was when the
bridge was built, and at the present
rate of wash it would soon carry
away the north end of the work.
Two jetties were planned to turn
the current, and teams have been
hauling rock for about ten days. A
carload of material was shipped to
Springfield Wednesday, and in addi-
tion to the jetties, some cribbing will
be put in to save it while the jetties
are being built. 1t is estimated that
the repairs will cost $500, and unless
they are made the bridge would soon
be lost

SPLENDID RESULTS FROM SYSTE-
MATTC FIRE DRILLS

What splendid results follow the
practice of holding frequent and
systematic fire-drills in public schools
is shown by the fact that following
the bursting of a boiler connected
with a hot water heating plant in
the basement of public school No. 1
of Long Island city one morning re-
Gently, 1857 pupils responded to the
fire drill, and with steam and ashes
flying through the building, marched
out in good order. In three minutes
following the explosion the building
was emptied and the children were
all out on the street When 1t was
learned that there was no fire and
that the damage was confined to the
basement, the children marched
quietly back and resumed study.
What might have resulted from
panic Is awful to imagine. This
should impress school principals with
the indescribibly vital Importance of
holding frequent fire-drills, for neg
lect to do this is no more excusable
than was the neglect of the White
Star officials to provide an adequate
complement of life boats aboard the
Titanic and to properly train the
crew in the life boat drill.
