Small Forges F. L. Christie's Name. A man signing his name Ceo Small, passed n bud check nt the Racket store Inst Friday. Tho check was drawn on tho Band of Bandon And the name of F. I.. Christie had been forged to it by Small. About n month ago Small went in to the Racket store and told Mr. Car penter that ho was going to cut wood for F. L. Christie and said he wanted to tuy n pair of socks and thnt he would pay for them us soon as ho got his check. Mr. Carpenter let him huvo tho socks and thought no more nbout it until last Friday wlien the ttian enmo into tho store, introduced himself and told Mr. Carpenter that he hod come to pay for tho socks, and wanted omo other articles. Ho purchased uyiods to, the amount of $3.GG nnd presented the check of ?19. 05. Mr.v Carpenter gave him 10.00 in cash. The check was not deposit ed until yesterday and it was then found to be a crude iorgery. An attempt is being made to np- prehend the forger, but as ho hnd about four days start on the ofllcers it is doubtful if he will bo caught. Boy Adjudged Incorrigible. In the juvenile court here last Sat urday, a Bandon boy about eleven years old, named Wesley I'hennegcr, wns adjudge delinquent, pronounced incorrigible, and it wns ordered that ho be committed to the charge of the Hoys and Girls Aid Society nt Fort land, and II. W. Dunham was appoint ed a special probation officer to take him there. This kid had been known as a "holy terror" nt home, and his exploits after being placed in Mr. Dunham's care would fill several chapters in a dime novel. Ho first stole nwny and secreted himself on a river honf. and got hack to Bandon. Anjjfilccr who hnd been telephoned to was awaiting him nt the dock, but Wesley gave him the slip nnd could not be found until lie went home nt bedtime. When ho was brought back Judge Hall said ho didn't like to put a hoy of that age in jail, but he didn't know as Dunham could do any bet ter than lock him in tho padded cell at tho court house. Dunham thought ho could manage htm, though, but got n blow that almost knocked him cudwlso after putting shackles on the boy's feet. Ho appears to have been tamed, though, as on Wednesday ev ening wo saw hhn coasting down tho incline of tho Spurgoou street bridge on u bicycle. A boy with such over abounding vitality ns this one, has tho making of a wonderfully efficient man if he can be headed into some useful chunncl thnt will nlrord a safe ty valvo for his energies. Cnpt. Dun ham will start for Portland with him on tho noxt Broakwater Sunday. Co miillo Sentinol.

In this last and most tremenduous of the "Lucille Love" pictures Hugo Louhcquc falls intot he trap which heretofore ho had used to defeat those opposed to him. Plan as a mnn will, unfnrscen coincf deuces m isc which confound rea son nnd place tho work of a life time at naught. It happened thus with Louheque. When Lucille learned that Loubeque was to moot Lieutenant Hndley at his (Louheque's) home, she nt once hastened to the rendezvous herself. As she was tho first to ar rive, she took n look through the house of so many terrors. When she beheld a picture of Loubeque on tho wall, tho though of all his crimes and the hitter hatred of her father over whelmed hor, nnd she raicsd her re volver and filed into tho ftice of the picture. Even before the echo of the report died away an mimaing thing 'happened. She saw tho floor of a bedroom slowly sink out of sight. Hud she not known what hnd already trans pired in that house, she would have been confounded. She removed tho picturof rom tho wall and behind it found a switch board. It was from this hoard that Loubeque controlled all the traps, staircases and sliding ways nnd floors of the house. Forth with she tested every switch. Ono caused a staircase to disappear, an other cnused a desk to sink into tho floor. No sooner than she had master ed the system of switches than Lieu tenant lladley arrived. In an instant she laid her plan of action. She in formed Hndley that Loubeque was not there, butt hat ho would leave on tho Golden Gate Limited thnt night. Hnd ley was sntsfied and left. A few mo ments later Loubeque arrived to keep his appointment with lladley. In stead of lladley he found Lucille. As Loubeque leaned ngainst the desk Lucille pressed the proper button nnd Loubeque fell through the floor with tho heavy desk on top of him. Lu cille rushed to tho cellar and remov ed the documents from his pockets while ho was in a stunned condition. An instant lator he recovered and rnn after tho girl. But ho was too kite. She ran to the secret tunnel and just ns Loubeque reached out to grasp her she slammed the iron gate in his face. Lucille made hor way quickly to tho depot and took tho train for Wnshington. Loubeque arrived at tho depot a moment after the train had left. He realized that Lu cille wns gone forovor witht ho pa pers. Returningt oh is home Loube que told Gibson that Lucillo was on her way to Washington witii tho doc uments. Gibson thoughlt ho spy was lying to him and to settle the argu ment they fight a thiol with swords. In tho midst of tho fight tho house Is surrounded with doteclivos, nnd Lo liequo snw that ho must escapo while there was yet time. In Hie instant be fore t ho detectives rushed in Loubo- que handed a package containing Lu ciilc'fl costly necklace to Gibson and toldh imt ot nkei t tot he Secretary of War. A moment Intor Loubeque dis appeared and the floors of tho house tumbled into the collar, trapping thosow ho had como to arrest tho spy. Lucille dolivercilt ho dncumonts to tho Secretary of War nt Washington and thus saved the nnmo of hor fath er and of hor sweuthoart, Lieutenant Gibson.

An derson and occupied hy II. A. Mur phy and family, caught fire about 0 o'clock Sunday morning and was com pletely destroyed with all contents except a little furniture which was gotten out of the front room. The fire probably started from tho kitch en stove, as Mrs. Murphy had arisen shortly before and started the kitch en fire, returning to her room to fin ish dressing. A noise like something burning was heard and Mr. Murphy ran out into tho dining room to inves- logntc and found the room full of smoke, and the blaze was then unr dor good headway, and as there was no water near it was impossible to check tho flames. The Murphy family lost prictically all their furniture nnd clothing, also a ibrpry that cost about ?G00. Their loss was partially covered by insur ance. Mr. Anderson hail some insur ance on tho house but not enough to cover his loss. AN ENJOYABLE BIRTH DAY PARTY FRIDAY. A very enjoyable evening was spent nt the homo of Mr. uml Mrs. W. W.
