FORGED SHARES OF
GoLpFIELp MINE

After an absence Of two years from
the legitimate stock markets, some
fraudulent certificates purporting to
be those of the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines company have made their APP
pearance. and at least in one instance
it is known that considerable
amount OF money has been lost
These certificates. or something along
the same order, occasioned consider
able loss and trouble two years or
so ago before wide publicity put the
public on its guard, and it seems to
be time once more to emphasize this
danger that would-be purchasers may
be on their guard.
II is said that there is just enough
variance from the genuine certificates
in the fraudulent as TO create the inn
preston that the buyer is getting the
genuine shares of the company, yet
to allow the seller a decidedly mar
row squeeze in escaping the peniten-
tiary One can not be too careful in
the purchase of mining shares, or
any other for that matter, and close
scrutiny win frequently disclose the
fraud from the legitimate.
One favorite method employed by
the tricksters is to get up as per.
feet duplication of the genuine GER
tificate as art will permit Of chang
ing word such as mines" TO min
ing" or vice versa, and the careless
purchaser will find himself helpless
as all his correspondence and deal
ings contemplated in undeniablt
terms the purchase of the fraudulent
shares, where a little care would have
disclosed the discrepancy.
The only wonder is that there are
so few attempts at forged certifi
Gates. There may be far more per
petrated, however, than reported

CORPSE HAD VISITED
A WARM LOCALITY

A DOCTOR according to the story.
saw late one night, a fine automobile
halted outside a cemetery. He hid
behind a tree, for he suspected that
body snatchers were at work; and
sure enough, in a few minutes he
saw two ugly characters stagger from
the cemetery carrying a body. They
placed ii upright in the automobile
as though it were alive, propping It
securely in the back seat, and then
fill the violated grave again. The
doctor in their absence lifted the
body out of the automobile. hid it
under hedge, and took its place
himself. Soon the scoundrels re-
turned One seated himself at the
wheel and the other fixed himself
in the back seat beside the body to
support it. After a while the man
in the rear seat said in rather an
awed tone. This body seems mighty
warm for a corpse" The chauffeur
reached back his right hand anc
touched it, Don't it though" he
muttered between perplexity and fear
Then the corpse in deep, sepulchra
tones, exclaimed, Warm? OF cours,
I'm warm. And if you had beer
where I've been for the last two day.
YOU'D be warm tool" With loud yell
OF horror the body snatehers leapet
from the automobile and fled. Tn,

home. He has it. they say, still

FEAR EUROPEAN WAR.
Well Informed People I'm Rome Think
There Is Danger.

Rome, April 24.-ACtive communi-
cation between Rome and Vienna over
Scutari IS going on. Italy and Austria
hungary being directly interestd in
the question OF Alhania'S future. Aus
tria- Hungary is determined to act
alone, II appears, if she is not backed
up by the other powers in obtaining
the evacuation Of Scutari by the Mon
tcnegrins and a European contiagra-
ton will almost certainly be the re-
suit of such action, according 10 well
Informed opinion here.
Efforts Of Italy, therefore, are di-
rected at preventing the isolation of
Austria Hungary and convincing Mon
tenegro of the necessity OF complying
with the decision Of the conference of
European ambassadors in London.
Representatives have been made to
Montenegro, it became known here
today, in which the attention Of the
Cettinje government is called to the
fact that all the Balkan states have
bowed TO the decision Of the powers.
/ inspired by the supreme interests OF
Europe.
Bulagria. it was pointed out, had
renounced its decision TO continue the
movement OF her army towards Con-
stantinople; Servia had given up the
seaport of Durazza; Greece had ap-
stained from permanently occupying
the town of aNlona and Montenegro
must cvacuate Scutari. Such a
move on the part of Montenegro, it
is considered here, would not imply
any loss OF dignity after her occu-
patton of the city. II the European
powers recede in the matter Of Scutari
1t is affirmed, the other Balkan
states also would have the right to
realize their aspirations.
Italy, according to close followers OF
the Balkan situation, was ready to
have war rather than 70 allow Greece
TO occupy NalOna and Austria also
would rather 80 to war than allow a
change in the boundary OF northern
Albania as arranged by the London
amNasSadOrial conference. Consc-
gucntly the Ccttinjc government. Il
