Everyone in Mason county and in

NO TRACE OF THORPE

Although the officers in all nearby
towns have been advised of the escape
of Jake Thorpe from the county Jail
here, there has been no trace of the
alleged brass thief picked up as yet.
Thorpe is registered under the army
draft, however, and will likely soon be
called. If he fails to report for duty
it is more than likely that the Federal
officers will be on his trail and he
will then face the bench warrant is
sued for him in the local court

Shows Many Local Business Men
Signing Membership Cards
For New Year.

Many of the team Captains and AS
sistants in the drive for new members,
met at the Chamber of Commerce
Wednesday evening to enjoy a smok-
er and report on the results of the
membership campaign. On account of
some of the captains being unable to
report, the Executive Committee de-
cided to continue the contest during
the remainder of the week The team
tallying the most points is to receive
tickets to the Corn and Tobacco Fair
The teams were allowed 100 points
for each cash in advance subscrip-
ton; rs for each years subscription
with cash for one-half year and 80
points for each subscription for one
year, without cash. Mr.. Calhoun's S
team leads with a score of 1850; B. Y.
Chambers $50; F. L. Hendrickson CSC; ;
]. B. Wood $50, and George Dodson
100. Messrs. George Frank, James
Purdon and DR.. Taylors teams re-
ports will be included in tomorrow's
report.
While the campaign has not started
off with a great number of members,
the Executive Committee and team
Captains feel gratified over the re-
suits. Not only have they been sue
cessful in signing old members but
they have secured quite number of
new subscriptions. All of the cap
tains were busy with their teams to-
day and we predict that they will
turn in a nice total. The following

BAD CHECKS ARE
CASHED BY LOCAL
BUSINESS men
Wise Negro Works Bad Check Game
on Two Prominent Merchants and
Gets Away-Played Familiar
With Merchants Who
He Worked.

The old familiarity game was work
ed by a rather slick negro here few
days ago whom two forged checks for
$14.50 each were cashed by local mer-
chants and it became known general
ly today that the checks were rank
forgeries and were turned down by
the bank.
The negro walked into the meat
store at Second and Sutton streets
and called everyone in the house by
their first name. All spoke to him
and while they could not recall his
name the fact that he used their first
name made them feel that they had
seen him in there before. The negro
purchased a small piece of meat and
rendered a check drawn in his name
and signed by Mr.. James n. Kirk,
prominent farmer for $1450. The
check was readily cashed and the ne
gro given the change.
From the meat store the negro went
to the Standard Drug Company where
he worked the same stunt and tender
ed a check with the same name sign
ed to it and for the same amount
Here too he received the difference be-
tween his small purchase and the face
of the check in cash.
1t is thought that he worked other
prominent business houses in the
same way but they have not been re-
ported Since his little raid on the
business district the negro has not
been seen and it now comes to the
mind of those who cashed his checks
that he might have been a total
stranger but because of his familiarity
it was at first thought he was a Mays
vile negro.
The police have no clues to his iden.
tity.

scored on the Notifications.
The Americans steadily are pushing
their line forward, following up the
patrols, and their advanced positions
now are directly on the front of the
Hindenburg line, which the Germans
established in this region last Febru-
ary.
Our patrols have reconnoitered this
section of the Hindenburg line several
times and returned with reports con-
cerning conditions.
The American main line runs thru
RonvauX, Manheulles, Pintheville, st.
Doncourt, Woel, Haumont, between
Jaulny and Rembercourt, north of
Wanderers and south of Champe to
the old line.
Patrol encounters are frequent and

rear areas is heavy. The enemy is re-
ported to be mining Haumont, appar-
emily preparing to evacuate the ter
rain in that vicinity in a great retro
grade movement to Mars-LaTour and
