Arrest on Fraud CHARGE,

C'ark.-Will and Ed Hoff Of Crockcr,
arrested on a charge Of obtainin"
money under false pretenses, waived
examination and appeared before
Judge Sherwood Of the circuit and
pleaded guilty. It seems that they had
made it 4 practice Of borrowing small
sums Of money from several Of the
banks in the county, giving chattel
mortgages on property which existed
only in their imagination. They were
sentenced to one year in the state pris-
on. but sentence was suspended on
their promise to turn over a part Of
their wages each month to pay what
they owed the banks. amounting in al,
to between $500 and $500. Both are
under age and did not seem to realize
wholly what they were doing.

ECZEMA ON BACK AND CHEST

P~ierson, N. Dakota.-'The eczema
started on my scalp. 1t finally went
on to the back of my neck, then on to

so intense hal it seemed ~unbearable.

Without actually seeing the huge 10
for the N%irginian railroad it is difficult
to realize their colossal proportions.
Each engine. without the tender, is
about equal in weight to a couple OF
ours.
The tender weighs nearly one hun
dred tons, and carries twice the
weight of coal and nearly three times
the quantity OF water that car be ac-
c~onmodated on the biggest express
tender Ill his country. The length OF
each engine is greater than our largest
engine and tender combined, while the
diameter Of the barrel part Of the
boiler is about double that Of any To-
connective in use on British railroads.
The furnace measures II feet by 8
feet. and the floor consists OF bars.
forming an enormous fire-grate. The
underbody or chassis of these locomo-
tives looks like those Of two separate
engines. each having two cylinders,
with four pairs Of coupled driving
wheels. There is also a pair of small
wheels at each end Of the complete ar

reminiscent smile, reminds me OF
one of the funniest things hat ever
happened in the early history Of North
Springfield, the time that Hank
jenkins bought up the railroad for

tune.
Hank was a leary-eyed, u%ngainly,
angular country pumpkin. who came
to town every Saturday to dangle his
long legs over the cracker barrels OF
the orner grocery, chew endless
between whites. A keen trader was
Hank. He'd rather get a dollar on a
sharp deal than to find two rolling up
the street.
in the days when Hank bought up
the railroad %railroading al a good
deal different than 1t is now. you un-
derstand. A rough, FOSTERING bunch
OF men, fond OF liquor and carOusing.
were on every train crew. The flrst
few weeks the railroad came to Spring
field, as you may know, it was the OBJ
ject of interest for the whole country
side. People came in for miles 20 see
the putting engine. c%hugging along
the track apparently of its " force.
The sight was much more exciting
than an airship taXicab line would be
now.
Among those who rod in from
4ho on,ntr,- - cnn tho train WAS
Hank. He looked with amaze on the
rafting ears and noisy engines. He
approached a switch engine c~urlousiy,
and looked it over with the same sus-
picious s~hreWdness that he always
kept on hand for looking inside the
mouth Of a horse he was planning to
trade for. Finally he approached the
red-faced engineer n said:
What der yer reckin that there
blamed thing is with"
Il don't know replied the engl-
neer. with a wink at one OF his fellow
trainmen. It's worth a good deal,
YOU know. You could make big money
with it hauling stuff up and down the
tracks. Whatll you give"
Il amt got but $3.50 returned
Hank.

the engineer. 1t cost all o $40. But

"If you'll pay $3.50 down now said
in the track for ten miles up the line.
Then you can buy the rest of 1t on
easy terms
"A few minutes later two hilarious
railroad men were making for the near
est saloon with Hanks $3.50, and
Hank, no less happy, was strutting
up and down the track gloating over
the cherished possession and onder
ing, perhaps. what his wife would say
when she knew that he owned an en-
CINE and ten miles of track on the
much talked OF railroad.
Maybe you've dreamed of being a
millionaire and then woke up to find
thai your bank account was over
drawn. Then you'll know how Hank
felt when he found out that he was
the goat And perhaps. you'll under
stand how the trainmen felt when
they sobered up from their royal
drunk to find that an unhumorous,
practical minded Judge was waiting to
sentence them to 30 days in Jail for
getting money under false ~pretenses.
