FORGERY COMES HIGH

There may have been a good bunch
of enjoyment received by F. L. Had
sell from the forty-fve dollars which
he received from three checks which
he worked off in this vicinity and
which proved to be forgeries, and
there must have been to justify him
in paying out $348.5O In settlement
for the checks and the expenses to
which the state has been in gaining
his arrest. That is what he did do, but
before he got to the settlement he had
given the officers a merry chase for
their money. The checks were passed
in this county and after they were
found to be worthless HadseI1 was ar
rested at Hutchinson. He slipped
away from the officers but was again
arrested in Oklahoma where he was
held until the arrival of Under Sheriff
A. L. Fox of this county, who took
him in charge. On the route to Wa
Keeney HadseH pleaded to be allowed
an opportunity to settle up the ac-
counts. He was taken to where he
could interview some friends and they
agreed to let him have the money.
When the original checks were added
and the entire expense computed it
was found that it would take $348 So
to settle up and that ount was turn
ed over to the sheriff and Hadseu was
allowed to go free as far as the for
gerry charges were concerned. It would
likely have cost Hadseu as much or
money to have stood trial but he would
have had good chance to have es-
capped conviction the states side of
the case was weak regardless of the
fact that the checks were no good

TREGO CO. COOP. ANNUAL
MEETING

The annual meeting of the. officers
and stockholders of the Trego Co
Coop. Assn was held at the court
house in WaKeeney last Saturday af-
ternoon. A good representative at
tendance of. stockholders were pres
ent. The meeting was an important
one and it proved to be very interest
ing. The annual report of the vari-
GUS business houses of the associa-
tion in this county, as compiled by
the official accountant, was read. The
report showed the association to have
transacted over a million and a half
dollars worth of business during the
last year. The Association was
started in 1915 with capital stock
of few thousand dollars. The capi-
tai was increased at the time the
Elevator business was added and the
profits of the business have been added
to the capital investm ent. A sum
mary of the investments in the report
made by the accountant will give an
idea of the growth and the present
value Of the business.

The complaint was not much
greater than usual but the city power
plant was out of commission Wednes-

Foos engine broke and the Fairbanks
Morse engine was not large enough
to pull the load. The lighting system
was shut off and all the current turn
ed onto the pump in order to get
supply of water. for city use and pro-
lection. September 17th is the date
set for opening bids and letting the

inability to receive freight cars and

COUNTY FAIR NEXT WEEK

Every citizen in Trego county
should make it their business to come
to the Trego County Fair at Wa
Keeney at least one day next week
This has been their rule in the past
and there is no reason why they
should not make it good this year.
There is another feature which is
very essential to the success of the
fair and that is the purpose of exhib-
it's. Farm products, fruits and vege-
tables, dairy and fancy products, live
stock and poultry, are very essential
if the exhibit part of the fair is to
be a success. The World has been per
sistent this year in urging its readers
to bring articles and products and live
stock to the fair and we hope the in
terest it has shown will bring results
bring exhibits to the fair. One OBJ
ject of fair is to advertise the pro
ductiveness of the soil by showing
what can be produced on it. Another
is to show the quality of the live
stock which can be- grown in
this county and which is being grown
here The competition is open to
Trego and adjoining counties and no
exhibit fee is to be charged Be sure
to be there.

ing which is being pushed to compile

improvementfor Cove is to be electric
