MAY BE ANOTHER FIGHT,
Liquor Men Still Have Hopes of Vic
tory in Arizona.

Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. 5.-Although
the State voted dry in Tuesdays cleo
tion there was question today
whether the prohibition amendment
added to the constitution was self
operative or would require an emer-
gency act by the legislature before be-
coming effective January 1.
If an emergency act is necessary to
make prohibition effective throughout
the Sttae another fight on the liquor
issue will be precipitated in the legis-
lature when the liquor men believe it
will be confronted by hostile ma
jority.
In that event a referendum would
be certain with the question again on
the ballot at the next general cleo
ton.

A FAKE FORGERY STORY
Sheldon Man Attemps to Collect
Amount of Time-Check Twice

| A fake forgery story, told in an
attempt to collect 1912 for labor a
second time from the John S. Owen
Lumber Co., was exposed after a
/ brief examination in District Attor-
ney Kirwan'S office Tuesday morn
ing.
Paul MaiseWicZ was employed in
one of the Owen company's camps
near Sheldon and on Nov. 20 pre-
scented a time-check amounting to
1912 to James Gearin at Sheldon,
which the latter cashed.
Later, Maisewicz attempted to col
lect the amount again from the lum-
Der company, alleging that the time
check had ben stolen and his sigma
ture forged when it was cashed He
even employed an attorny to press
the matter and the lumber company
was inclined to believe that perhaps
the man was right about the forgery
but they declined to pay it the Sec
ond time until it has been conclusive
ly demonstrated that forgery had
been committed.
In Mr.. Kirwan's office, Mr. Gear
in stated positively that he had Civ
en- Maisewicz the money, and after
considerable questioning, the latter
finally admitted that he had received
the money and that the signature
was his own.
The lumber company will probably
prosecute Maisewicz for his attempt
at fraud.
