Wilco the implement and hardware merchant of this city were received by Mr. Wilcox yesterday. The $80 check was cashed in La Qrande and was en dorsed by F. S. Ivanhoe. a La Grande lawyer. ' while the other was cashed at Urand Junction and was endorsed by C J. Blackburn. It is not known exactly who forged the checks, but suspicion points to a man who was hanging around the implement store about a month ago. He appeared at the store one morning, asking for work. On being told that there was no work for him, he asked permission to stay around the store until some farmer came in look ing for a man. , Hit actions aroused the suspicions of Mr. Wilcox, who told his bookkeeper, Mr. Spencer, to keep an eye on the etranger and keep the safe locked. In spite of all precautions, however, he disappeared one day, taking with him, a buncn of keys and a smalt amount of cash from the safe. Pendleton Tribune.
