The case of Willie Johnson, famil.
iarly known as "Tuffey," who was
charged with forgery, was tried i,
the county court yesterday afternoon,
George Lane appeared for the prose-
cution and B. B. Russell for the de.
fense. Witnesses were sworn and
testimony taken. The prisoner plead
guilty. Judge McCloud sentenced him
to the state reformatory at Buena
Vista for term not to exceed tc..
years. Sentence was suspended dur
ing good behavior. He was placed in
the custody of his cousin who owns a
coal mine at bayfield,. She is to take
him out there and place him to work
Every month she is to submit his re-
port to the court on his behavior
Should the report be unfavorable the
suspension of the sentence will be re-
voked at once. His guardian, the Du-
range Trust company, is to pay from,
his estate the full amount Of the tw,
forged checks as well as all costs OF
the proceedings, so the county is moi
out one cent on account of the case
The boy is an especially bright lad

ed from Jail this morning and left via

as she spoke softly of 'deceiving poor

Of excitement and joy in her checks as
they neared her home.

given me the most delightful day of
my life. You live here!" he exclaimed
abruptly.

Sidney Harper smiled strangely

thrilled, and in the mutual glance was
the serene promise of a closer friend
