wheat here was an incentive to buy
and so was a current opinion that nc
exports need be looked for this sea

were weakened by competition from

OFFICIALS
PICK UP FORGER

The officials took up fellow who
says his name is Brown who is
buying drafts under the name Of Ray,
Gray, Wray and Fry. It appears that
there are two men connected with this
forgery business. An accomplice, who
goes anead OF the other and gets
drafts. For instance they work like
this: The accomplice goes ahead of
his partner a day or so, goes into
banks and buys draft for So payable
say to R. E. Ray. The draft is then
raised to $50 by careful erasures and
clever placing on the body of the
draft in red ink the "y'' necessary to
make it read eighty. Several Of these
drafts are secured. Some made out
to F. G. Gray, others to R. E. Ray and
it was this one that was the downfall
of the forger. The accomplice had
secured draft for 50 on the Citizens
National Bank of St. Paul, one from
the Middlewest Trust Co., for So and
one from the American Exchange
Bank for the same amount along with
two others, same amount, these drafts
were mailed here to the man Brown by
the accomplice who goes ~n ahead to
the next town for operation. They
have a regular schedule to work on
showing towns, train Service, etc.
These drafts were raised, it is pre-
sumed by this man Brown and then
cashed if possible. The man went
into the Straus Clothing Company
store this morning and presented the
St. Paul draft and asked to have it
cashed. Mrs Stern became suspicious
after watching the man sign on the
back, which he did in a very shaky
manner. He told this man Brown he
did not have that much money in the
store but would go over to the bank
and get it for him. He. went over to
the Bank of Valley City and then call
ed up the sheriff's Office and Deputy
Sheriff Simons came down and after
the forger could not give satisfac-
tory explanation arrested him. The
First National Bank had previously
refused to cash the draft. The fore
sight of Mr.. Stern led to his arrest.
Brown carried a gun loaded and a
bunch of skeleton keys. He had sew
eral of these raised drafts in his pos
session as well as other things, and he
apparently is one of those smooth
forgers on the same plan as that man
Hilderbrand we had here last year
and who was sent up to the pen.
States Attorney Richie is making out
the proper charge and hearing will
be given the defendant some time to-
day. stsf. t.s

.portant capture. we think, and az all
appearances are against him, he will
