The beautiful weather Sunday after
noon brought out the new spring bon

to be out and going somewhere. The
street cars were crowded all after
noon with people going to Port Ed

number of visitors. People were walk

Many parties of young ladies and

summer will cost $4,000. The build

for the new building with them. The
work of tearing down old building
has not been begun as yet Mr.. Ell

done toward the new depot other
than what had been done last fall.

HELD FOR FORGERY

Walter G. Rumsey was arrested
in Marshfield Thursday evening on
a charge of forgery and is now in
the County Jail.
1t appears that Rumsey, who was
born and raised in Grand Rapids and
who has served in the United States
Navy, returned to the city a few days
ago to renew acquaintances. Getting
short of ready money, he attempted to
raise some by cashing forged checks.
The forged checks were issued as
if by the Wood County Telephone
Co. The complaint is based on two
checks that were cashed by Harvey
Gee-one for $34 and one for $35.
1t is understood that there are sew
eral other business men who cash
ed checks presented by Rumsey. Rum
sey left on the late G. & N. w.
train going north. Complaint was
made to Police Officer Berg and he
began an investigation which result
ed in his wiring to the officers at
MarshfieId to apprehend Rumsey,
Rumsey was arrested when he ar
rived in MarshfieId. Undersheriff
Welch happened to be in Marshfield
returning from the Northern Hos
pital. Rumsey was placed in his
charge and brought to the city. There
are two charges against Rumsey
One for forgery and the other for
Uttering Forged Instruments.
