NICK BROWN ADMITS
MISUSE OF MAILS
Also Forged Name Of kochokon to
U. S. Money Order For the Sum
OF Nine Dollars

Nick Brown, confined in the Elko
county Jail on a complaint from the
justice court at Carlin, has confessed
to Postoffice Inspector d. &. Means TO
the misuse OF the United States mails
to obtain money under false pretens,
es and also to the forgery of the name
of X. Kochokon to L. S. money order
for nine dollars.
Mr.. Means this morning wired the
U. S. marshal at Carson to come and
get Brown.
Brown, who claims to be native
Greek, and Kochokon, were fellow
workmen on the Western Pacific at
Carlin. Brown wrote to relatives of
Kochokon at Ruth. Nevada, and in
California, saying that the latter was
in hard luck and needed funds.
In response to this appeal the money
order for nine dollars was sent and al,
so a railroad ticket to California
Brown forged the name of Kochokon
and cashed the money order.
The railroad ticket was recovered
by the constable of Carlin.
Brown is young man about twenty
five and apparently is a novice in the
business of forgery.

every man and woman in Nevada:

a tract of 52.47 acres located seven
miles west of Garrison, the nearest
postoffice. Mr.. Matthews desires this
land as an addition to his former
homestead, upon which he Is now liv.

In other words, Mr.. Matthews, TAX

made good from the start. Note what
he has raised: Corn, wheat, potatoes
and various kinds of garden truck.
Probably In few years more he will
be cultivating other crops, too, and
with the same success that has heark-

But the best thing about It Is that
Mr.. Matthews owns his home. The
