Check Forger
Arrested
For CashinG Bogus Checks
and Makes Confession

Hack Fisher, Il young ma,
about twcnty two years Of age,
living near Oreton, was arrested
at Olingcr last Friday night by
w +. Weary on charge OF
forging checks in Big Stone Gar
and neighboring towns, from
which lie had derived quite a
sum of money. He was broguht
here the same night and placed
in charge OF Policeman Kelly
and locken up. Upon arriving
here he denied his identity,
stating that he was not the party
wanted, but after a search
through his clothes Il check wa.
found already filed out, drawn
on the First National Bank Of
Appalachia, made payable to
W. G. Taylor and signed with
the forged name Of L. l., Cous-
ins. 7 Upon this discovery the
prisoner made Il complete con.
fession TO every charge.
Saturday he was given hear
ing before Mayor Ilorsley and
later taken 10 jail at Wise to
await the next term of court.
His work was perhaps the
bOldcst and most successful ever
attempted here. He came here
about two weeks ago and started
his scheme by puchasmg a large
quantity of meat OF } w. Hisel.
Having check made out with
the forged name of w. X. Pc.
ters signed to it, at n figure Of
$l4.S0 above the amount of the
purchase, the check was cashel
by Mr.. Ilisel and Fisher left
saying that he would return fol
the meat later, but of course he
never returned. The same trick
was worked an Ilumblen Bros.
for $4,000, ID. q. Wolfe ror

and a merchant in Turkey Cove

to the checks, are well known

tees appointed last week to in
tcrview prospective buyers and
renters and builders and to de
termine upon the method of or
ganization of stock company
formed 10 promote the building
Of more homes in Big Stone

Only a few were present, but
that made the discussions which
followed upon the several reports
more intimate ana personal than
would have been the case in Il
larger gathering.

the findings Of his committee
with regard to the formation Of
a stock company to promote the
building Of more homes in Big
Stone Gap elected considerable
discussion from those present.
Owing to the fact that this COM
mittee had not been able to get
together during the week TO dis
cuss the matter and give the
plan its fullest consideration, the
suggestions were adopted tcnta-
lively TO "A more fuller and com
plete report at the nest meet
ing.
W. J. Smith, reporting for
his committee, gave six men as
wanting to rent or buy rcasona-
bic homes in Big Stone Gap.
All those wishing to buy or rent
are asked TO write personally to
MIR. Smith as chairman of this
committee.
All three committees were
voted to be continued on at least
until the next meeting of the
Club, and it was thought best
that Mr.. Fox's and Mr.. Smiths
be continued indefinitely, to as
sist IN securing the most effect

are interested III securing more
homes in Big Stone Gap.
This, the most busincss-likc
of all the meetings, was adjourn

with feeling that at last had
been launched the most effective
movement Big Stone Gap has
seen III years.
