Mrs. Cassaday fell with considerable
force and struck the floor head first,

afternoon and her many friends are
hoping that her injury will not prove
serious.

Presents Check at sehlumberser's

TOO GENERALLY pRAcrlcGD

"A smooth forger worked in this To-
cality about the middle of December,
who was rewarded by securing money
from stores and banks, and escaped
without detection. No one knows his

The first victim was the Schlum-

Buck Grove. The check was made
payable to Carl Miller, but this fact
furnishes no assurance that this was

Crawford County bank paper and was

to complete the transaction and to ac-

In due time 1t was deposited by Mr..

BASKET BALL.
Carroll High School Team Defeated
Saturday Evening in Fast Game
at Local Gymnasium.
SCORE 80 TO 81 FOR DENlsoN
Denison Evens Up for Defeat in De.
bate Ten Days Ago-Poor Crowd
in Attendance at Game.

The Denison high school has demon.
strated that they know how to play
basket ball, and OH Saturday evening
they defeated the Carroll high school
team in very close game, thus even
ing up in measure for the defeat in
the debate which Carroll won ten
days ago. The basket ball game Sat
urday evening was one of the best
ever witnessed in Denis0n, both teams
being very evenly matched, but when
the last quarter had been played the
score stood 33 to 81 in favor of the To-
cal team
There was not very large crowd
in attendance at the game, played in
the gymnasium Saturday evening, the
blizzard keeping many from attend
ing, but those who braved the gusty
wind and snow felt we'll repaid for
their efforts and pronounced it the
best game ever played in Denison. 1t
was good clean game from start to
finish and there was not any OF the
rough and tumble work which. is so
common in many basket ball games.
but the players seemed bent upon put
ting up a good exhibition OF the game,
no matter which team won.
Carroll came to Denison with the
idea that Denison did not have much
of team and that it would be an easy
matter to pile up score that would
swamp the locals, but before the game
was half through this thought had left
their minds and it was Just matter
of holding Denison down from swamp
ing them. Carroll started right out to
make scores and before the local boys
had gotten into working order they
had made several points. With Car
roll ahead the Denison players settled
down to business and with careful and
consistent playing tied the score in
the middle Of the game and were soon
ahead of Carroll. Carroll was not Civ
en- an opportunity to even up the score.

be impossible fof US to mention tile

the team, but surtice to say that each
one did his best and played an admir-
able game. Those who played on the
Denison team were as follows: Locke
and McHenry, guards; Seemann, cen
ter; Kuehnle and Boslaugh, forwards.
On next Friday evening the boys will
play one of the hardest games that
they have scheduled for the season.
for they will meet the fast Council
Bluffs high school team. The game
will be played in Denison and there

The check in reaching its destina
ton passed through the First Nation
al bank, the Crawford County State
bank and into the hands of the Buck
Grove bank. where the forgery was
first detected.
So far as the other check is cosl
cerned, which was paid at the Craw-
ford County State bank. we do not
know upon what theory the payment
of the check is defended. We mag.
inc, however, that the check was
cashed at one of the stores and after
wards deposited in the bank in the
usual custom OF doing business ex.
cept that whoever deposited it was
corrteously relieved from endorsing it
in order that it's history could be
traced.
We believe the experience OF the
victims OF this forger's ingenuity will
prove a valuable lesson both, to mer-
chants and banks and will prevent the
cashing of checks presented by strang-
ers as has been the custom too gener-
ally practiced for some time past. We
are at loss to understand how bank
would permit such transaction or ac-
cept check from merchant without
having it endorsed in order to trace
its history.

had respecting the identity OF this
smooth fOrger. 1t is thought by some

DISTRICT COURT
NEXT MONDAY
Judge Albert, Of Jefferson, Newly
Elected Judge, Will Occupy the
Bench For First Time Here.
4 LARGE NUMBER OF CASES
First Week Of Court Devoted to Equity
eusiness-Jury Second Monday
Of Term.

District court will convene next
Monday with Judge Albert, OF Jeffer-
son. presiding. The members of the
bar, and others are naturally anxious
to see the new Judge in action. Judge
Albert has held one term OF court in
Sac county and is therefore becoming
acclimated in his work.
The next term promises to be a busy
one as there are large number of
cases on. the calendar to be disposed
OF. The first week of the term will
be devoted to equity business, that is.
cases tried to the court The jury is
expected to appear on Monday OF the
second week OF the term and remain
until its close. A case is especially
assigned as the first jury case for tria!
and the probabilities are that it viii
consume large portion OF that week.
1t will be a fortunate thing for the
court and bar II the heavy docket
which will confront the judge will be
reduced during the term.
The litigation in Crawford county has
increased OF late and it
stands the bar in hand to waste as lit
tie time as possible in disposing of
each case in order that business may
not lag too much behind.
Whether or not the celebrated bull
case. in which Mr.. Johnson's bull
broke into q ditch which was being
dug, will come on for trial at this term
or not depends upon the amount OF
business ahead of 1t. We refrain from
making any comments on the evidence
in the case as it will probably be tried
to a jury when called for trial.

Introduces Bill to Repeal Non-Partis-
an Judiciary Law Recently Piac-
ed Upon Statute Books.
$ WORKING ON OTHER BILLS
crawford's Representative Recognized
in the Committee Assignments
Placed on Number Of Committees

Crawford county, for the first time
in its history. has front page repre-,
sentative in the state legislature.
p. J. klinker's name appears in the
headlines OF all of the daily newspa-
pers since going to Des Moines as
one Of the factors in legislation. On
yesterday he introduced bill to re-
peal the ncn-partisan Judiciary law re-
Gently placed on the statute books.
The purpose of the law when passed
was evidently to take the nomination
and election Of judicial officers out of
politics, but it was found that it but
complexities the situation and hence
the desire for its repeal. Governor
Clarke in his message recommended
the repeal of the law. and there
is no doubt but that sentiment of
the state is such that it will be- re-
pealed before this session of the gem
eral assembly closes.
Mr.. klinker is working on bill to
permit absent voters and persons con-
templating being absent on election
day to vote at any election in which
the Australian ballot is used. This is
apparently q meritOriOIs proposition
and If properly framed we believe it
would result in much good.
Mr.. klinker was recognized in tho
committee assignments. He was for
tunate in being made chairman of the
committee on constitutional amend
ments, as well ass his other assign
ments, which are, appropriations. jill
