covered that a shrewd forger. repre-

eastern publication, who victimized
bankers and others at Tyndall, YER
million and other cities. also succeed
ed in victimizing several residents of
Beresford. The game was to solicit
for the sale of the publication. to-
gether with a library, the total cost of
which was $11.
One dollar was paid down and a
note given for the balance, due at the
time of delivery. The solicitor sent
in the orders all right, the books and
magazines came and the bills were
paid at one of the banks. 1t now de-
velops that the solicitor forged the
names on duplicate notes and sold
them to the banks. The transaction
was made last September, and it was
not until a few days ago that the for
geries were discovered. 1t is feared
that hundreds of banks throughout the
west and northwest were victimized
by the forger.~
