Forger Defrauds Mt. Sterling People
Out Of Thousands Of Dollars and Makes
Good His Getaway Saturday Night

Harry King, operating a tailoring
establishment in this city for the
past six months, Suddenly" decided
il would be easier to earn his money
by getting forged checks cashed
than by working at his trade, and
Saturday night began to present the
worthless paper to numerous mer-
chants Of the city, most of whom
fell for the stranger and GLADLY"
accommodated him. He seemed to
play no favorites and business men
in most every line were his VIC
tins. The checks ranged in value
from SIS to $117 and bore the sig
natures OF Mrs. B. Wright, Mrs.
Thompson Mrs B. Wilson, B.
Smith and numerous others, and
were on many different banks. As
a rule he would go into a store and
after making small purchase, pre-
sent check for a much larger
amount and receive the difference in
change. This seemed to work with
entire satisfaction until he went in
to the store Of Chenault & Orear,
where he bought a So safety razor
and pocket knife, giving check
in payment of same. After think
ing the matter over Carroll Chenault,
Jr., and Lee Orear became suspicious
and called up the banker on whose
bank the check was issued and were
informed there was no such account
in their bank At this juncture
they went to Kings shop, in the Nc
Kee building over the Pgers Co.,
where they found him and ibis wife
preparing to leave After telling
King the check was no good, he paid
for the knife and returned the ra-
zor, but before doing this kept talk
ing about diamond, which it later
developed he had bought from Bryan
& Robinson for $117 and had given
a worthless check. He seemed to
be under the impression that they

children to Mt. Sterling so that they

direct from him in person. This is

dren to see that they get as much
joy and happiness out of the Christ
mas season as possible. A large
sum has been gotten together by the

John w. William
Dead Of Complication

On December 9 at his late home,
West Main street, John w. William,
up to few years past leading and
prosperous business man of this
city, died of complication of trou-
bles at the age of So years and 10
days.
He was a son of Thomas and
Sarah Elizabeth William, deceased,
was twice married and is survived
by two children, Thomas W. and
Miss Hattie William; one brother,
Edward William, and five sisters,
Mrs. Carrie Carr, Mrs. Hunt Outs
enberry, Mrs. Julia Cook, of Win
chester; Mrs, Robert Fletcher, Of
Louisville, and Mrs. John Grayson,
of this city.
In Masonry he had attained the
degree of Knight Templar and was
also a member Of the order of Elks.
You who are members of these
lodges, who have taken their oaths,
know full well what is required of
their faithful.
After songs, and prayer by Rev.
Clyde Darsie at the late home at 2
o'clock p. m. on Sunday the burial
service of the Knight Templar was
conducted at the grave in Machpelah
Cemetery.
Mr.. William started in business in
this county a moneyless lad and
from continuous labor as a business
man he had amassed comfortable
competency and was regarded a.
one of our best business men. His
duties as Knight Templar' and a
member of the Elks were cheerfully
performed and through these orders
he became interested in and con-
! tributed to the children of the homes
SO as a business man, energetic and
gaining, with his life devoted to
these orders, he gave through them
most literally and as he was blessed
in wealth. Knowing his duties, they
were well filed. A Knight Templar
deceased has accepted the exhorta :
tons of the order:
'Let the brother of low degree
rejoice in that he is exalted"
"Come unto me all We that labor,
and are heavy laden, and will give
you rest"
"Christ suffered for us, leaving
us an example that we should fol-
low in His steps"
"For we were as sheep going
astray, but now are we returned to
the shepherd and bishop of our
souls"
eff our brother or sister be naked
and destitute of daily food, and one
of you say, depart in peace, be We
warmed and filed and We give them

Mrs. Alexander Dies

Mrs. Martha Alexander, well
known and highly respected woman
of this city, died Sunday at her
home on South Queen street, fol-
lowing a long illness. Mrs. Alexan-
der was II years of age. She is
survived by one son, John Alexan-
der, of this city. Funeral services
took place at the family residence
yesterday afternoon by Rev. Clyde
Darsie and the remains were taken
to Side View for interment in the
family burial ground.

had come for the diamond. This
was about $50 o'clock and immedi-
ately after this King and his wife
are supposed to have caught train
going east. They had three trunks,
which were checked to Ashland, and
It is said that two other trunks we're
sent to the same place several days
before. There seems to be no doubt
as to Kings wife going on this train
east Saturday night, but number
Of people are of the opinion that
King got on the train and then got
off and got a taxicab and drove to
Lexington.
King had been here about six
months, had been in the habit OF
getting checks cashed which had
been given him for goods in paying
accounts and often times taking the
difference in currency. The checks
had always been good and when be
presented the forged ones Saturday
night during the rush of business,
very little was thought of their
worth and they were generally cash
ed without question. The only two
places that we have heard of where
he presented checks which were re-
fused were at S. M. Newmeyer's
and Greene & Williams. He came
here with a carnival company and
after getting started into business
appeared to be a hustler and was do
ing a large business.
The forgcries were not generally
discovered until Sunday when Po-
hceman Neale Gulfoile was sent tt
Ashland on the trail, where he ex-
| pected to get a trail of King from the
baggage.

ID DECIDE STREET
 CASE SATURDAY
Judge Greene Will Render De- cision on Proceeding to
 Dust Commissioners

Decision on the city's motion to quash proceedings brought some time ago by Thomas E. Street seeking to oust William B. Cloe, Mrs. Mary Ech- ols, William L. Harrison and W. F. Dickson as commissioners of the city of Birmingham on the ground that they were not legally elected to the positions they fill and to have him self declared elected as commissioner of public safety will be made by Judge Dan A. Greene in circuit court Saturday.
 Following conclusion of the argu- ments of opposing counsel on the matter yesterday, Judge Greene an- nounced that he would examine the authorities and the law cited in the arguments and would render a de- cision in the case Saturday morning.
 In his original petition, Street a. legged that he was the only candidate in the election October 10 who had compiled with the law by designat- ing himself as candidate for the specific office of commissioner or public safety, which, he alleges, un- der the law is a judicial office and must be sought separately just as the president of the commission must be.
 The city sought to have his peti- tion quashed on a number of grounds, among which was one alleging that there Is nothing in the five commits sioners' low creating the position of commissioner of public safety as d separate office requiring a candi- date to designate that office in his declaration.
 They also allege that Street had failed to file his contest within the time required by law in that he had failed to file it within 20 days after the date of the first election on Os- tober 10. as required by law.

MUNICIPAL BONDS
 AT HIGHER PRICES
Easier Money and Desire to Escape Surtax Are Con-
 tributing Causes

There is a better demand for municipal securities and they are bringing increasing prices" said Leo Keyser of Marx & Co.,. bankers.
 This firm has just bought the $1,- 100000 per cent 3O-year road bond issue of Eseambia, Fla, paying a substantial premium for tho same. It has also purchased North Carolina county bonds.
 MT. Keyser said: Easier money Is bringing municipal. securities to the Tore and their sale nets greater re- turns. Bonds which would have had to be sold below par some time ago sell above par. This is particularly the case in states where laws are ia vorable to investors. In the case of the Escambia county bonds ample arrangement has been made 10 care for the principal and interest out of taxes. If the present tax rate should fail to meet this obligation. taxes are to be raised to the poin. that will do it.
 Municipal securities are also pop ular because they help avoid the surtaxes under the income tax. Being tax-exempt. Che man who otherwise would be hit hard is protecting him self by purchasing them. This and easle- money account for greater demand for municipal securities al increasing prices"
