CHECK ARTIST Gets
$45 BY FORGING
F Forges Hagadon Name and Presents
Checks at Model Grocery and
Oxford Bar; Apprehended

Considerable excitement was
caused in Cimarron, Thursday and
Friday, when a young man giving
his name as Harry Osborne, forg-
ed two checks on the Rayado Col
onization company, to the amount
of S45. Osborne made the checks
payable to himself, signing them
with the company's secretary s
name, F. J. Hagadorn.
The torger presented one of the
checks, amounting to $40, at the
Model Grocery receiving therefore
that amount il. cash. He next Wis. |.
tied the Oxford Bar where he pre-
sented a check for S25, and receiv-
ing cash therefore. Thursday
night he stopped at the Swastika
hostelry where he lived the life of
king it is said, treating the house
with cigars at different times.
Early Friday morning he haste
ly decided to leave town and en-
gagged the services of H. A. Funke
to motor him to Colfax to catch
southbound train. During the in
tervening time the Model Grocery
learned of the misfortune it had
sustained and Immediately got in
to communication with Deputy
Sheriff Christian at Colfax to APP
prehend the man. Osborne will
ingly gave up the $40 to Christian
who, not knowing of the second
forgery, released the man in time
to board the train for Ration. The
trainmen were informed at Colfax
of the second forgery and guarded
the man until the arrival at Raton,
where the sheriff took charge of
him.
Jas. Livingston and Deputy
Sheriff Lambert autoed to Ration to
arrest Osborne, who pleaded gull
ty to the charge of forgery and
waived preliminary hearing, pre-
ferring to appear before Judge Leib
and start his sentence at once in
the state penal institution.
Osborne is a young man with an
attractive appearance. He has
been employed on the Rayado and
other ranches in that section the
past four or FIVE months and very
little is known about him.
The Oxford Bar did not recover
the money it gave for the bogus
check. This is the fourth time
the past winter that this place has
been left to hold the sack through
the operations of thugs who fre-
quent Cimarron. With the SEN
fencing of Osborne to the peniten-
tiary it is hoped that this kind of
work will be stopped abruptly.

he caught sight of the sword and
said, 'how did you get that
sword9" The young man answered
Il got it from under a rock which
ny father left for me and these are
his sandals" and then the king
laid down the wine and said, my
son, yes there are thy mothers
eyes, it is my son." AS Medea,
the enchantress saw this she was
enraged and took all the diamonds,
pearls and other valuable things
that she could and went away in
her frey chariot drawn by serpants
and when the people saw her they
shouted and rejoiced at getting rid
Of her, and when she saw that, she
shook her hands at the people;
while she did so, she dropped dia-
monds, pearls and other precious
things she had, then the king told
the people they were welcome to
take as many as they wanted.

STEAMERS FOR osTEND
 CARRIED NO BAGGAGE.
So Great is the Demand for Passage
 to Folkestone, England.

London, Oct. 13, 1o.S0 D. m-So great is the demand for passage on the steamers from Ostend that those boats arriving at F'olkestone today carried no baggage. AS soon as they discharged their human freight the steamers re- turned to Ostend, where thousands uf Belgian refugees were clamoring for transportation to England The state mnts of some of those who succeeded in getting away indicate that a state Of panic exists at Ostend where crowds of fugitives continue to flock into the city, spreading exaggerated reports regarding the proximity or the German pursuers.
 Among today's arrivals at FoIkestone and Dover were several hundred wounded Belgian soldiers. It is likely that their number will be considerably increased in the course of the next few days. They are being looked af- ter by the relief committee for wound ed allies and are being sent in small bodies to different provincial cities and towns where arrangements have been made to provide them with hospital accommodations
 It is estimated that already nearly 100000 Belgian refugees have landed on these shores. It is feared that the stream of fugitives will increase In ! volume as the German occupation of Belgium becomes more complete.

AMERICAN coNSULS TAKE
 OVER BRITISH INTERESTS
At Ostend, Belgium, and at Warsaw,
 Capital of Russian Poland.

Washington. Oct. 13.-American Con- sul Johnson at Ostend reported today that British interests there had been turned over to him and the British consul would leave for England to- morrow Whether this meant the abandonment of Ostend by British as well as Belgian military forces was not stated, but the despatches indicate the rapid approach of the Germans from Antwerp.
 MT. Johnson reported that communi- cation between Ostend and Ghent had been severed since yesterday and the belief prevailed in Ostend that Ghent had fallen. He said he was able still to communicate with Bruges, not far distant from Ostend, disproving re- ports that Bruges likewise had been occupied
 The British government has asked the American consul at Warsaw. cap ital of Russian Poland, to take over British interests if the town is cap tured by the Germans. American Con- sul De Soto, at Warsaw, cajbled for instructions today, saying there was every probability of occupation by the Germans. It is believed here that the Russians intend to evacuate.
 Although Great Britain made a gen. eral request early in the war to have her interests in other belligerent coun- tries cared for by the United States, as emergencies arise in territory Of the allies not originally included in the zones prescribed, special requests are made as each city or town Of im- portance changes hands.

GERMAN SUCCESSES HAVE
 INFLUENCED FINANCES
Cables Sold Up to 4.e7 3-+German Marks Were Firmer,

Ntw YcrR Oct. 13.-Recent s11o cesses of the German arn1s exercised a potent influence in financial circles today. This found special emphasis in the market for foreign exchange which was more circunscribed, at higher rates. Cables sold up to 497- 3-4 and sight drafts to 4.S7 German marks were f1rmer, but exchange on Berlin and Paris was more nominal than usual.
 Further reduction of the deficit of the clearing house banks. as disclosed in last weeks statement, brought no change in local rates for money, time loans in small amounts being made at seven per cent. with call loans at six to eight per cent, according to the class of collateral. Commercial paper
 was in light request. but the best quality of these bills is now finding ready acceptance at six per cent Cnfavorable advices, continue in the
 steel trade, a number of independent factories reporting further reduction
 of output, and few of them working up to even fifty per cent of capacity. TWO weeks from today the United States Steel corporation will issue it's report for the third quarter of the year. with concurrent action on the common dividend. For many reasons | the occasion will be one of the most | interesting in the history of the cor 1 poration.

STATEMENT GIVEN OUT
 BY RUMANIAN MINISTER.
Necessity of Guarding Danube Pre-
 vents Aid of Allies.

Petrograd, via London, Oct. 14, 1.e5 a. m-The Rumanian minister to Rus sia, c. Diamandy, today gave out a statement concerning the attitude of his country as regards the war. The statement follows in part:
 'In view of the conflicting reports and general obscurity surrounding Rumania's attitude since the death or the late king, I will say that at pres ent Rumania is prevented from rem dering active assistance to the allies by tke necessity of keeping troops along the Danube. l know for fact of the existence of pourparlers be- tween Russia and Hungary regarding the ceding of Pennsylvania and the guaranteeing to Hungary of national severance from Austria in return for Hungary's withdrawal of her troops from Cracow.
 The latter would change the whole military situation and undoubtedly end the war, but Hulgarys' attempts are not seriously regarded by Rumaniar for we feel sure that so long as the present Russian foreign ministry is in office our interests will be safeguarded Moreover, the Hungarian conversa- tions are official but are inStigated by Hungarian prisoners in Russia.
 "A Hungarian national entity Is Q physical impossibility on account oi the comparatively small Magyar els- ment and racial complications. We therefore, are hopeful of ultimate pos- session of Pennsylvania, realizing as the war proceeds the power of the Ru- manian army of 600,000 men,"

 has delayed or prevented payment of | moneys due them"

 ita1 of s6O,O0o,oo0, of which s52,0o0,ooo is outstanding.

A hole was blown in the floor, another smaller one in window, three pews were destroyed and nieces were clipped from a granite persons were slightly injured by fly ing fragments of metal and wood.
 Explosion Heard for Blocks.
 Whether the explosion, the sound of which was heard blocks away, was caused by a bomb, was a matter of doubt for some hours. The first re- ports that such an instrument had been employed were shortly afterward de- clared erroneous by the police, who re- ported that either hot air box or a re- gently heating apparatus had burst
 Inspector Owen Eagan of the bureau om combustibles decided tonight how ever that a bomb had caused the dam- age.
 In the dust and fragments gathered up were discovered a two inch length of pipe a half inch in diameter, a bit of tin resembling a box cover, anc small pieces of iron-one of them as large as half dollar.
 No Motive Known.
 Police and fire officials said they knew of no motive anyone could have for exploding a bomb in the cathe' dral. Monsignor Michael J. Lavell' and other priests of St. Patrick's made similar statements. Monsignor Layell' suggested that demented person witt a fancied grievance might have takel this way to show malice, the priest de claring that a bomb of greater violenc' | undoubtedly would have been empioye'

New Haven, Conn.,. Oct 13.-Tha appearance of a dozen of Uncle Sam's torpedo boats and destroyers engaged in the annual fall manoeuvres in Long Island sound off Faulkner's Is- land today, gave rise to a number of rumors at various points along the shore.

 Already thousands of fugitives are returning to Antwerp and shops are very slowly reopening. Many more thousands, however, are teS1tating, apprenenslve that the Germans pres ent friendly conduct might change later on.
 up to this time no war contribu- tion has been exacted, but the town is to supply all reQuisitioned wares free. For instance, two tons of pota- toes were to be provided today.

 125,00o Germans in Antwerp.
 ''The Germans say that there are 125,o00 of their men in Antwerp, but this figure seems to be exaggerated. Several thousand of the LandwehI troops and marines probably will re- main as a garrison.
 Negotiations for the surrender of the city last Friday threatened to col lapse because the Germans insisted upon having the signature of the Bel gian commander, General Guise. They eventually accepted that of another officer, M. Weerbrouck
 Soon it became apparent that not withstanding all the measures which had been taken a number of Germans, especially women, had managed to re- main in the town, and these were now congratulatin~ the army.
