FORGED MONEY ORDER

Due to the vigilance of w. j. Jack.

George r. Prather, arrested at Eel
Paso recently on the charge of hav-
ing a stolen car in his possession,
is to be tried for forging and CASH
ing fictitious postal money orders
amounting to $500. None of the forg-
ed money orders were cashed In
Douglas, but one cashed at the garag,
of J. j. Jones, at Rodeo, ~ NJ, was
sent to- the Bank of Douglas for col
lection, was discovered by w. T..
jackson to be a forgery and the
notifying of the postal inspector in
charge at San Francisco followed
Prather, who is said to be motor
ious forger IS charged with having
stolen ten money order blanks from
the postoffice at Palomas, on July g.
1926. He spent some time in that
place before cashing any Of the
forged orders, which he had stamped
and made out in manner quite
similar to that used by the postal
employees. Prior to October IA, he
cashed eight of the orders, under
various names, at Phoenix, Nogales,
Kodeo, Lordsburg, Deming and Lamy,
n. M, and Corben and Harlan, Ky.
The first report of the forged or
ders was received by the postal au-
thor.ties when Jackson, noting q
difference in the way the order re-
ceiVed by the Bank of Douglas had
been made out, branded the order as
forgery and notified the postal in
spector at San Francisco. The postu
master at Palomas, because of the
blanks having been taken from the
back of an order book, refused TO
believe the forged orders had come
from his office until after Prather
had been arrested in FL Paso ana
made a confession. 3f

"All right, capn, good mawnin
cap'n," he mumbled as the key rat
tied in the death cell door.
The "Cap'n" was Clifton Evans,
penitentiary warden and beneficiary

testament. He brought the news that
the governor commuted the deatl
sentence. George would not be strap

resignation with which the con-
demned negro had awaited hisaaend.

and his joyful cry echoed sthrough the
gray, stone prison. God bless every

His first request was to be rid of
the death suit and he scrambled
quickly into the regulation garb OF

the natives. profiting by their lessons
in sanitation, will never revert to
their former ignorance in these mat
tiers, and that Manila is cleaner than

fetal contacts that the islands are
ready for independence, but wheels
revolve within wheels for those who
know the situation" he said.
