Fisher. to an order on the Farmer S
Elevator Co. at Brockton, the sum
being $3.50. The authorities state
that so far as they have ascertalned

home at Detroit, Mich, to work for
his uncle who resides across the river
from Brockton, and that after work
inc five months, his uncle refused to
pav him any wages and as a result
the young man forged letter to j.
H. Dirk, manager Of the Farmers
Elevator at Brockton, authorizing
him to give Hengstebeck check for
1850 which Mr.. Dirk did. Heng-
stebeck left for st. Paul. # appre-
