EDWARD j. QUiGLEY ASSERTS HE
PICKED UP THE SATCHEL
LEFT ON TRAIN
HAD FACE VALUE OF 100000
Man Taken on Suspicion of Being
Wanted in St. Louis for Raising
Money Orders Proves Cali
fornia Story Is Fake

Balitmore-A man giving the name
of Edward j. Quigley, having in his
possession all the securities stolen on
ferry boat at New York on February
26 is under arrest here.
The arrest was piece of good luck
by the postal authorities. Quigley was
seized April 81 on suspicion of being
wanted in st. Louis for raising money
orders. An alleged confederate named
George F. Windall was arrested with
him, but is held on a technical charge.
Quigley fought against arrest, but was
overpowered. His alleged confederate
submitted quietly.
Papers Valued at 100000
Quigley's grip contained a large
bundle of certificates of stock of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad and the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad
New Yorw city stock and other secur
tiles of aggregate face value of $780,
900. A sight draft for $4,000, drawn
on S. B. Chaplin & Co. OF New York by
Smith, Lockhart & Co of Baltimore
also was found in the satche attached
to certificates for 100 shares of Union
Pacific and 100 shares of Northern
Pacific stock.
Chief Postoffice Inspector ]. G.
Rooms said he believed the satchel con
tanned all the securities which had
been sent from Baltimore in the regis
tered mail pouches stolen on the New
York ferry boat.
Says He Found SatcheI
Quigley said the satchel had been
left on the train by a man and woman
who got off at Philadelphia, and that
he took it.
Quigley said he is 36 years old and
lives in New York, but that he belongs
in Ridgefield Park, N. ]. Windall said
he met Quigley on the train.
This proves that the confession Civ
en- out at San Diego, Cal, by James
Moran after his surrender to officers,
that he had been double-crossed and
got religion, was all fake.

When the Farmer Comes to Town.

How do we greet the farmer when
he comes to town?
When you ride out into the country
the farmer extends the hand of fell
lowship, bids you welcome, and hands
you hearty "come again" 1t is a
delightful characteristic Of the man
from the farm, for his greeting is sin.
GERS and his invitation is from the
heart, says the Illinois Merchants
Journal
But what of you when the farmer
comes to town? Is your welcome on
the same high plane as his? is he
made to feel and realize that your
smile is for him, and not for the con-
tents of his purse?
You of the town are proud of the
farmers Of your community, and Of
their wives and their daughters. They
are men and women of high order
of intelligence, whose integrity is be-
yond question, and whose thrift, and
energy, and perseverance is transform
ing our countryside into a hive of in
dustry and wealth. They are builders
one and all.
But we fear that we of the town are
often forgetful of the great duty that
we owe to them for their loyalty and
generosity in support of the local bust.
ness community.
We ourselves know of the high re-
gard in which we hold the farmers OF
the community, but we doubt If the
farmer knows of the warm sentiments
which we entertain toward him. And
this is because we think much and
say too little. 1t should not be so.
Let us Of the town cultivate a more
friendly and neighborly spirit, let us
open up our hearts that the farmer
may look within, for we are but one
big family and should dwell together
in unity and brotherly love. Let us
act as we feel, and give the farmer to
understand that he is of us, as we'll as
with us.
We need each other, for the pros
porous farming community makes a
live town, and the prosperity Of the
town adds life and enjoyment to the
countryside.
