Youthful Forgers
Have High Time

Walden NJ. Parrish and Oliver Da-
Wis, two fourteen year old lads from
Hotchkiss, came to grief on Wednes-
day when in the very midst OF their
celebration at the Montrose county
fair, and are now behind the bars in
this city awaiting legal adjustments
The two boys came to this city to
attend the Delta fair. They found
themselves out OF money one morning,
and young Parrish looked through his
pockets and found three or four blank
checks on the Bank of North Fork at
Hotchkiss. His mother had an open
account at that house of finance, and
he at once proceeded to see what he
could do in the way of imitation Of
his mothers signature.
Three checks were drawn-one for
five dollars, one for seven and another
for a certain amount-each looking to
the youthful pen artist as though the
money should be forthcoming. They
were each presented to different mer-
chants in this city, and sure enough
the ready cash was handed out. The
boys proceeded with their celebration
at the Delta fair and went on to Mont
rose for further doings
In the meantime the checks went
in to the bank for payment. The moth
er came to know of the forgeries and
officers We're notified. Sheriff Samp-
son went over to the Monrose fair
Wednesday morning and returned
with his youthful prisoners that even
ing. The boys may be tried at the
present term of the district court,
though it is hardly probable that the
case will not come up before the next
regular session.

DEL AWARE. WINS
ON FRAZER FIELD
Team Braces Up After First
Touchdown. Final Score
28 To @

Local football enthusiasts were
given a chance to display their
cheering ability last Saturday
when Delaware triumphed over
the Temple College eleven, to
the tune of % to 0.
g, Until toward the middle Of the
third period the Delaware team
tried out new open-field plays, for
ward passs and onside kicks. While
this was no doubt good practice it
failed to run up a score, and Capt.
Cam called for straight football.
The third period was nearly over
when Temple tried a forward pass.
Big Vic Handy intercepted the ball
and carried it five yards toward
Temples goal. Jimmy Huston
got away for fifteen yards, Handy
came back for five more, and in
the next play the ball was dropped,
Handy recovering it on Temple 5
two-yard line. Huston put it up to
Handy as to whether or not he
would have the honor of making
the first touchdown for Delaware
on Frazer Field. The big fullback
responded by planting the bail
squarely between the goal posts.
Taylor kicked the goal.
This starter proved the necessary
spur and the team took on vim
and force which carried the ball, in
the remaining quarter, three times
over Temples goal line. At the
close of the game the ball was
again on the visitor five yard line
and one minute more would in all
probability have meant a fifth
touchdown.
Temple brought an eleven that
outweighed Delaware considerably
man for man, but they lacked the
training and team work necessary
to win games. Rankin, the big full
back of Temple, is a veteran in the
game, as he played halfback On
Lafayette when Coach McAvoy
was captain of the team several
years ago. While he was not in the
pink of condition he demonstrated
that he has not forgotten the game.
Bressler, the little left end, was an
other player who did good work for
Temple, and cut Delaware out Of
several possible scores.
Captain Cam, Handy, Huston,
and Taylor were the principal
gamers for Delaware. Handy was
star from start to finish of the
game. Captain Cam made SEN
sational forward pass which Handy
caught for gain Of 35 yards. Hus
ton, the peppery little quarterback,
by spectacular runs carried the ball
three times over the goal line.
Dean, who replaced Captain Cam
as halfback, who in turn replaced
Derrickson as end, also carried the
ball for substantial gains. Taylor
kicked all goals.
The lineup follows:
