A Good Game, s to 4.

Dallas defeated the Columbia Hard
ware team of Portland Sunday by the
score of 5 to 4. Threatening rain and
cold winds prevented large crowd
from being present. The pitching of
Myers of Dallas was a feature, he
striking out IL men and allowing only
5 hits. Dallas secured 13 hits off of
Hyronamus of Portland.
A pretty piece of fielding was pull
ed off by Dallas in the Bird inning
when with the bases full they made a
triple play. Boydston to Cooper to
Woods retiring the side.
The Portland boys proved them
selves poor losers by continued "ragg-
ing" throughout the game.
Dallas scored in the 1st, 3rd and
sth innings and Portland in the 9TH
inning.

A SMOOTH SWINDLER
L. G.. Martin Fails in Trying to Pass
Check on the Dallas National
Bank. Sheriff Grant Makes a
Good Capture.

One of the old-time tricks tC
swindle the farmer out of his hare
earned cash was tried yesterday on
Polk County farmer and the smooth
gentleman is in the Polk County Jail
and the farmer still has his farm and
cash, thanks to the good judgment
of Mr.. Eugene Hayter Of the Dallas
National Bank and to the good work
of Polk County Sheriff, John M
Grant.
The story is as follows, last Sat
urday man who gave his name as
L. C. Martin came into the law offices
of Sibley & Eakip and in company
with Mr.. James Mcdonald asked to
have a contract made whereby he was
to purchase the fine farm of McDon-
aid and pay $500 down to bind the
bargain, the purchase price being
$4,000. Also contract for the
farm of d. +. Burge and. Hannah E.
Evans for $4,000. While Judge
Sibley was writing the contract, Mar
tin went to the Dallas National Bank
and deposited over $4,000 in eastern
drafts drawn on the Hanover Ma
tional Bank of New York and issued
by the State Bank of Kansas City, Mo.
He wanted to draw a few hundred
dollars on them but Banker Hayter
said he would send them on for col
lection, and on receipt of the money
would then place it to his credit to
check on. Martin later stated that
he wanted little cash so that he
could make payment on piece OF
property he purchased at Salem ana
could not wait that long. Martin sug-
gested that Mr.. Mcdonald accompany
him to Salem and there he might be
able to get check cashed, as he need
ed the money to make the $500 pay
ment. Mr.. Mcdonald and Martin
started for Salem. Then Mr.. Hay
ter got busy and called up the Salem
banks and put them wise, then noti~
fed Sheriff Grant, the latter securing
an auto, arrived in Salem ahead of
Martin and Mr.. Mcdonald. When
the latter gentlemen arrived at the
bank the Sheriff was there seated on a
chair as a customer, quietly awaited
the outcome. 1t was only few min
utes when Martin passed a check
to the cashier for over $4,000 and
asked to have the same cashed, and
having Mr.. Mcdonald, who is entire
ly responsible to vouch for him, it
might have worked, but Sheriff Grant
stepped up and took both check and
man to Dallas and the smooth Mr..
Martin is now at the famous Hotel
De Polk as star boarder. This
shows that the farmer
can not be too careful in all their bus
