BANKER NEMESIS TELLS
 STORY OF CHASE

would pick out a choice piece Of land ana would talk and ask questions generally, until everybody of conse- quence would know he was going to buy ta.s farm. Then he would get the deeds from the owner, ostensibly to have them investigated by an aD- stractor He would forge the papers and would return tha deeis to the Iowner and settle upon a later date to close the deal. Then he would so to the bank with the forged deeds, all propsrly completed, and in every case bu. one, he would get 3 loan or $3,000 to $5,000 on the fam he claimed to hay: bought Some times, month or more would elapse before the forgery and fraud would be dis- covered and in the meantime, the swindlsr hajs' gone.
 tAt Waukesha, Wis, last month, Barnhardt went to a prom inent banker for loan exactly as he had gone to many others before The banker becsme suspicious, and asked Barnhardt to accompany him to 'ha registers offica. En route, Barnhardt d forged desj1s. He was then arrested, aG the bank;r's request. With two horse thieves. ana q house burglar, Barnhaldt escaped from the jail.
 Trailing the Crook.
 During the Waukesha 1nvestigs- tion. the Pinkertons obtained 3 clue leading to Forrest Ciy. At Forrest City, it was learned the man suspect ed was highly thought of, big land owner, bank director, and otherwise a prominent citizen.
 Assis ant Superintendent McBryde of the St. Louis office went to Forrest City. and registered at ? hotel there as W. B. Barnhardt. Hs wanted 10 feel his way before he asked ques- tions. Operating as "Barnhardt," he did not nave to 9sk questions. The real Barnhaldt's neighbors did the questioning, and MeBryde had little difficulty finding out many things about the Tan.
 He learnel that when Barnhardt first veached Forrest Ciy. he electci- fled the n9 9tives by opening bank ac- count with deposit of $S,000 in cash The impression prevailed that he was a professional gambler. and socially he did not mix freely with the best people of the community.
 'McBryds learned that twice each year Barnharit took a trip. Upon his return, he would deposit large amounts of cash in the bank, and he created the belief and impression that this was his portion of the profits of chain of gambling houses through h9 contry, in which he was in erest:d. The neiehbors imag- incd nothing worse of him.
 Effecting the Arrest.
 McBryde learned that Barnharat had disappeared scme months before from Ferrest City. and that his wife had left the place some time later, after selling hes s2oo00 home md his hsnk stock. Ha leafncd also that Mrs. Parnhardt was living at tho Mar lowe hotel ;n St. Louis Then the Pinherton necrle placed a ruard over Mrs B3rnhardt, and in this mannevI Teachea Barnhardt hin self.

o'HARA MAKES PREDICTION.
But Local Baseball Affairs May Not
Turn Out as Anticipated

John J. O'Hara, manager of the
Brattleboro team of the Twin State
league, is visiting in Worcester county
and is full of faith in the success Of
the Twin State circuit for next sea-
son although Northampton and New
port are certain of being in the line
up when the umpire calls play ball.
The Twin State circuit, like others of
the country, is rather unsettled this
year, but the Brattleboro manager be
lieves that it will round out al
right chburg Sentinel.
This is an example of going away
from home to get the news. As q
matter of fact local baseball affairs
will probably round out all right, but
there is small likelihood that O'Hara
will be a part of the new organiza
ton.

Class A Circuit Received Terrific Blow
From New Organization - Federals
Have Also Lost Fortune-other
Notes.
The suave expression indicative of
supreme confidence and disdain of Ii
walls assumed by the organized baseball
forces must be maintained now with
serious difficulty. However short the
Federal league may fall of major
league pretensions and whatever handi-
caps they face in the way of money
losses and weak circuit, they still are
able to sink the forty-two centimeter
shell into the vitals of the octopus
with astonishing frequency and accu-
racy.
Results speak for themselves. The
wounds resulting in the wrecking of
the International league, the downfall
of the Farrell regime in the New York
Yankees, the Gripping of the five Som
crs baseball industries and the paralyz-
ing of all minor league activity were
enough TO prove the point
league club and throws itself on the
mercy of the Brooklyn public by offer
~ 100000 worth of preferred stock
for sale to anybody in-blocks of S10O
each-or larger. 8gg
The conditions of this deal, which
makes the stock redeemable in three
years, are equivalent to a 100000 loan
at s per cent per annum. In other
words, the Brooklyn club seems cramp-
ed for the wherewithal to do pusi-
ness.
The scheme is the first attempt of an
established major league club to float
stock in this manner and is taken by
some persons to indicate weakness.
The failure of the war fund" to ap
pear and the helplessness of the o. &
forces to assist the minor leagues in
distress, are indications that most OF
the octopus strength is front"
The Feds have lost heavily, too. But
after all it isn't the heaviness of the
losses that counts. It's the relative
