Schiermann, alias Henry Morgan. His
new alias is Edgar T. Pancoast. As
Schiermann he fiseced a Villisca bank
TO the extent OF $500 with forged
drafts, and eight or ten citizens fol
sums aggcegating $3.50 with worthless
checks.
The letter states that our hobo musi-
clan was duplicating his record here
and was following his profession as
music teacher and musician in Porter
vile. Ii does not state whether he had
had so much social prestige and ad-
miratio from the fair sex as ne en-

dict that Edgar T. Pancoast overlook ed
no opportunities of this nature. II they

here it would have been difficult to
escape them.
When it came time for him to say
goodbye in his peculiar, sad way, il is
said. he did the same thing there rs
here; that is he went around and left
his autograph with a number Of his
obliging friends. The sheriff writes that

that if they couldn't make case

about what they will do 10 him out
