After arousing the Sympathies OF

to tide him over until pay day, George
Watson, of nowhere in particular, sud

but his benefactors' clothes well
The Rutland Railroad detectives are
engaged in the search for his present
whereabouts and have already found
clues that they think will lead to an
arrest
Watson applied for a job with the
gang at Leicester and was put to
work with the other men on the road
In a very short time he introduced
himself as an ex-Serviceman "Out OF
luck He was penniless, he said, and
had only the ragged clothes that he
was then wearing. Wouldn't they
give him a few dollars to aid him in
getting presentable outfit as well as
certain other necessities? OF course
they did. Watson got $500 and prom
ised to return it on his first pay day
The following Saturday the men went
to their homes in Northern New York
Watson said that he did not desire to
leave the Work Car and volunteered
to take care of the property in it.
When the men returned that night
they were dismayed to find not only
Watson but their best clothes gone.
The thief had ransacked the entire car
and had taken everything Of any value.
Altogether his job on the railroad pro
flied him in the neighborhood OF $3.50

FORGERY

Middlebury good nature suffered
another imposition from the species
iorger when two weeks ago Harry E.
Clogston, proprietor of the Addison
House, accepted a strangers check for
$500, only to have the draft return
ed as no good.
f. H Fisher of New York City, as
the forger registered in the guest book
at the hotel, came to Middlebury in
the evening OF October I. After sup
per he asked for a room for the night
only, and said that he would check
out the following morning immediate
" after breakfast. When he requested
his bill he said that he had but very
little ready cash and asked that
Mr. Glogston accept a check on the
Wood Barton Company of Ticonder-
oga. n. Y. Mr.. Clogston did not ques-
ton for a moment the genuineness OF
the check, knowing as he did the COM
mercial Importance of the concern
across the lake. The visitors bill
amounted to only $500 He received
$1,000 in change He left on the early
morning train north, having purchased
ticket for Burlington.
Several DAYS later Mr. Clogston re-
ceived notice from the bank that the
check on the Wood Barton Company
of Ticonderoga was bogus. He i'm
mediately placed the case in the hands
of the States Attorney, Allen R.
Sturtevant
Mr. Fisher was no novice in the
forger's game. 1t has been reported
that he had previously worked his
little scheme in Fair Haven, at the
Allen House. where he passed a check
for $1,000. and in Ticonderoga, y. Y,
at the Ledgers Inn for $500 more.
Hotel keepers seem more frequently
the victims of the forgers whose meth
cd is the use of stolen checks upon
some reputable business house. II IS
difficult to enforce any rule against
the acceptance of guests checks for
many travelling commercial men are
in the habit of paying their hotel
bills with their checks which they
save for receipts.
1t is but several weeks since eight
local merchants were cleverly duped
bv a farm-laborer forger who had
stolen his employers check book and
presented the drafts on the Addison
County Trust Co. for $1,000 each in the
rush of Saturday evening business.

TRIBUTE TO A GOOD MAN.

Thomas M. Lemonds was born Jan.
%, 1852, in Obion county, and died
March 10, 1920, at Gleason, age 68
years, two months and three days.
He was married to Caroline F. Comp
ton, Dec. 2, 1878. To this union
was born children. His wife and
three children preceded him to his
grave. He professed faith in Christ
early in life and united with the
Methodist church. His life was a
noble inspiration to all who knew
him. Never was he too tired or busy
to respond to the call of his children
or friends and to those that mourn
we would say "Weep not, for faith
er is at rest" He made your home
bright, he inspired you with noble
ideals and motives. Wouthout him
home is not home. You will miss his
loving, tender, patient face. You
will miss the comfort his presence
meant for you, but it will be only a
little while until you can join him,
if you but follow his good examples.
"Uncle Tom, as he was commonly
called by all, was good man and
what more, what better can be said
OF any man? Not only will he be
missed in the home, but by all who
knew him. He leaves five children
