accept it as a matter of hard luck.
Don't blame anyone but yourself.
That Is what Is going to happen in
Fort Dodge and in the county at large.
The state has been waiting for de-
linquents TO make their license re-
turns. The licenses have not been
paid. State officials have become tired
OF waiting and have sent a special
automobile tax investigator to Fort
Dodge.
He will go over the records with
the chief of police and the sheriff and
all the delinQuents will be investigated
and If necessary their automobiles Will
be eaken from them. The owners Will
not get them back either. from all ac-
counts. They will be sold according to
law Just the same as delinquent tax
property is.
Arrangements are being made to
bring the delinquents to time. The
special investigator is now in consul
tation with the sheriff's office and the
chief of police as to the procedure to
be taken.
According to County Attorney v. E.
Gabrielson, there are a large number OF
automobile owners who have not paid
their automobile license for 1919.
Many transfers have been made also
and those concerned in such action
have failed to pay for their transfer.
Failure to pay their license tax is a
fragrant violation. Offenders are sub
jected to a heavy penalty. The state
gives them a definite period to make
returns. Taxes become due on Jan. l
but owners are permitted to make re-
turns by April / without paying pen

Crap Game IN France
Causes Money Mixup

Cedar Rapids. Sept 4.--"Den bones
rolled right merrily in Brest, France,
and as a result Mrs. w. Rush OF this
city liz out some 1915 while Guy Taylor
is out Sl25 besides facing trouble on a
charge OF forgery, Et.
The entire story which has been
something OF n puzzle until recently
Strengthened out is this:
Taylor and many other negroes had
gathered ono evening In Brest and
were engaged in the regular army in
door and outdoor sport, namely
twirlling the "galloping dominoes."
Taylor was lucky and the "sebens'
came TO him so thick and fast that
he had many of his associates cleaned
out. One companion In particular, a
negro from Chicago. had no cash left
and as result he threw money orders
to the amount Of $500, In the Jackpot
and allowed that he would shoot"
them too. He lost s340 to Taylor and
as the orders were made out in 500
amounts Taylor gave the loser $50
change.
Some confab was held concerning
the cashing Of the orders and the
loser said that he would give Taylor
permission to sign his name to a
letter to the National bank Of Chicago
where he could go and cash them.
The war ended and Taylor came
back to Cedar Rapids with the money
orders. Going into Chicago he went
to the bank, presented the letter with
the forged signature and cashed the
orders, getting Il draft for $500. TAX
ing the draft he sent 1t to Mrs. w.
Rush. of this city and told her to
cash It for him. Later he came TO
Cedar Rapids and the money was turn
ed over to him and things went well
for a short fife.
The first sign of trouble came when
payment was stopped In Chicago on
tho money orders, the first owner de-
claring that they had been stolen from
him. The Chicago bank was out the
money and they In turn sent detectives
to Cedar Rapids to look up the case.
The negro was found and he was told
that the money orders had been stolen
and that the $500 would have to De
replaced beside the fact that he was
hitting forgery.
Local authorities took hand and II
was found that Taylor had spentl
large part of the money and as a re-
suit Mrs. Rush was forced to make
good the loss as she had been the pet.
son to cash the draft at the local
bank Taylor had sl25 left and TINS
he gave to her. making her loss s275.
I'm give her the rest after some
lucky Saturday night" he said.
According to Walter Johnson, post
office inspector here, II is not known
as yet what will be done with Taylor
but the evidence is that he is guilty Oh
no crime.
The money orders might have been
stolen by Taylor, they might have been
stolen by the man who played craps
with him. or the man that owned them
may be getting out of paying his dis
honorable debt, and the local author
tiles can't make out which is the case.
