Stranger Forges Checks.
Joseph Hershey, K. D. Small and
the Rush Mercantile Company
were the victims of check forgeries
Saturday. At the former's storo a
stranger appeared during the afternoon
and purchasing a gun for $20. GG, ten
dered a thirty dollar chock purported
to have bcn drawn by Francis Mon
tague, who lives southwest of town,
and received $9.35 in change.
In tho evening a stranger entered
Small's shoe storo nnd roprosenting
thnt he worked for Contractor J. R.
White, purchased two pairs of shoes
for $7.50 and tendering an cighteen-
dollar check with Mr. White'H name
forged, received $10.50 In change.
In the Hershey instance, Dan An-
tonides, who made the sale of tho gun,
grow suspicious nnd telephoning Mon
tague, found that the check was a for
gery. Later he met the man on the
street, accused him of forgery
nnd Bummoned deputy sheriff Lowell.
The fellow denied that ho wns
th't man, said ho lived in Lex
ington and that by telephoning it
would bo found that his assertions
wero correct. He was finally released
and left town on No. A, Later it was
found that the gun had been left atone
of the saloons and it was returned to
Mr. Hershey.
Ii tho other forgory, Mr. Sma'l was
not apprised of the worthlessncssof the
check untill he presented it for pay
ment nt the McDonald bank yesterday
forenoon.
Concluding that all Norh Platto
merchants wore "easy" on the check
racket, Mr. Smooth Man went to Hur-
rington & Tobin's about 8:30 nnd or
dered a bill of groceries amounting to
$5 '15 nrtd tondered the clerk a chock
for $18 to which J. R. Whito's name
hud been forged. The clerk snld he
was instructed not to cash checks,
to wntcn the tellow checrluliy rc-
Boonded: "Send the goods to the
houso nnd collect from my wife," nnd
gave the number of n vacant houso on
west Third. Tho fellow then went to
tho Rush Mercantile Co. nnd purchased
tho same bill of goods aa he did at II.
's, but in this instance the check
was cashed nnd tho fellow given $12.45
in change. Ho ordered tho goods sent
to tho same address on weBt Third.
The goods from both stores were de
livered yesterday forenoon to tho vncnnt
house, and as the items wero identical
suspicion was at onco aroused, and
it qulry of Mr. White developed that
tho check cashed by the Rush compnny
was a forgery.

Don't Spend $3.50 When Fifty Cents Will do the Work
Prot. W. M. Hayos, Ass't. Secty, of Agriculture of the United State's says about Stock Food:
"These balanced rations are often found bv aualvsis to consist of the tailings of mills, elevatnr m,i
breweries, mixed with molasses and salt, to make the compound palatable to the cattle, and one of
the largest Stock Food Companies is said to use fine sawdust, finely ground, to cheaply bring up the
weight of bis product, instead of buying a superior and expensive balanced ration containing high
fattening qualities and acting as a tonic, he has paid a high price for a feed containing, along with
ordinary grain, finely ground alfalfa hay and other common food stuffs, $5.00 to $25.00 per ton, a high
percentage of refuse, and non-nutritious matter, some of which may be positively dangerous to
the health of his stock."
