Horse Trader Is
Wanted for Forgery

J. L. Peach, formerly horse buyer
for the Denver Horse and Mule Com
mission company, is wanted 10y the
officers of this county on a warrant
charging him with forgery. For
months past Mr.. Peach has been act
ing as agent for the Denver company,
buying horses and mules, and has
been in the habit of giving drafts on
the firm for the purchase money.
According to the latest develop
ments he was discharged some time
in July but has not ceased drawing
on his former employers for money
and has kept right on buying live
stock. Last Saturday, it is alleged,
he bought from James Wren of Car
son valley, twenty-five horses, the
price amounting to $l,6l0, for which
he gave the usual draft on the firm.
Also, he induced Arthur Raycraft to
indorse a check for $lO3.5O, which
check. when presented, tailed to pro-
duce the money called for, whereupon
Mr.. Raycraft swore to. complaint
charging him with forgery.
The sheriff mediate1y spread the
official drag net, and tracers were
sent all over the country to locate
him. The horses had been located at
Auburn, Cal, where they were un-
loaded from the cars to be fed, and
are detained there to await develop
ments. Up to this time the man has
not been located but it is impossible
for him long to elude the officers, be-
cause he is well-known, has stable
in Oakland or Alameda, and has az
quaintances all over the coast, wher-
ever there are horses and mules for
sale
