CAsHEs BOGUS CHECKS

When will people learn to refuse to
cash irresponsible and unknown per-
sons checks as a matter of accomoda'
ten. The past week man who
called himself Farmer, cashed checks
drawn on the Leavenworth State Bank
all the way from Everett to Leaven-
worth. We do not know the name OF
the Everett victims. The hotel man
at Scenic was one of his victims. w.
p. Clinton, telegraph operator at Iye
cashed a ten dollar check as matter
of accommodation for the stranger and
as a consequence is just that much out.
1t is believed that Palmer or Farmer
the former is his checking name, once
worked here at the big mill. He has
not been apprehended.

JOE TESCHERA CATCHES EAGLE

A few days ago eX-chief of police
Teschera dropped into the Sanitary
Market and remarked to Manager An
derson that he had a fine live Turkey
at home of weight and quality that
made it too delicate and expensive a
morsel for the Teschera table. "Be
COB" said Anderson nothing is too
good for the Swede" bring her in and
| will fatten her up for my Christmas
dinner" The following day Ander
son vas notified that fine bird tagged
with his name was sitting in crate
in front of his market. ats me tur-
key said Anderson" who if nothing, is
a past master in birdology and forth
with proceeded to examine his prize.
A careful study of his bird lexicon
failed to state that any American tur-
key has yet been found with a beak
and talons and seven foot spread of
wings. Be COB said Anderson, it
must be reincarnation of the Kaiser
shipped down from the vicinity of
Freytag's mill. The problem was
solved by Joe Teschera admitting that
it was a little joke that he had played
and that the bird was fine specimen
of a Golden Eagle which he had
trapped in his chicken yard 1t is
one of five said Joe who have been
making their home in the Chumstick
valley this fall who are destroying
more game birds than all the sports
men who yearly visit this district.
Joe states that there is one old bird
with "a spread of wings so great that
when he is in flight a midnight dark
ness overtakes the Chumstick and no
inducement will get him or his to leave
home until the visitor is well out of
sight.
