Miss Morse of Morse Jaw, Can. and
Miss Letch of the Mayo Hospitol are
visiting at the Jas. L. Garrow home.
The former is sister and the latter a
cousin of Mrs. Garrow.
Last weeks city papers contained an
account of an automobile accident in
which two little girls were injured and
one Of them died later. The item is of
interest especially to those who met
Miss Lillian Nippert during her stay
here as it was she who drove the car
that figured in the accident. Miss
Nippert was in no way to blame as the
accident happened because the children
bacame confused and. ran directly in
front of the car.
To the many friends who have dis
played such loyal interest in the welfare
of our mother during her stay in the
hospital and for the many courtesies
extended to her during the past year, I
desire to express the appreciation of
my brothers and myself. Ny mother
regrets her inability to see her many
friends personally at this time to thank
them and also bid them farewell before
leaving the city.

stay-at-homes the opportunity to leap
from one continent to another without
leaving a theatre chair is scheduled
for the Turner Theatre in this city on
next Monday evening when Lyman H.
Howe will again present an entirely
new program. Howe's visits have be-
come an established institution here as
in 600 other cities. His ever new and
ever more notable films, together with
the unseen but versatile imitators behind
the scenes who are all things beyond the
possibilities of the sensitized films,
are ever welcome because the name
of Lyman H. Howe can always, be
depended on as a positive guarantee
of all that is absolute perfection in

LAST EVENING

Clever detective work upon the part
OF Chief Of Police Ben Coles resulted
last night In the arrest of Juan B. Or
tega, a resident of the neighborhood
of Trout Springs in the Gallinas can
yon, on a charge of forgery. Ortega
is declared to have been the man who
signed the name Of e. e. FIfte to a
check for $25, drawn In fay1 Of Hi
larfe e. Sanchez" and passed it on
Salamon Alta, West side merchant,
who cashed it at the San Miguel Ma
tional bank. The transaction occurred
on November II. The bank, later the
same day, became suspicious, asked
Mr.. Hite IL he had drawn such check
and when he replied in the negative
Mr. Alta and the chief of police were
notified.
Chief Coles, after an investigation,
discovered that there is no such per
son as Hilario b. Sanchez. He set
about at once to locate some employe
or former employe of Hite who had
forged the, check as he believed it
was through such an association with
the proprietor of the Merchants res

the proper knowledge of the signature
to enable its reproduction. The cll
