Mesdames James Ireland and B. F.

the Oregon Red Apple Co. and brought
back sufficient strawberries to make a
short cake from plants set out this year,
also several varieties of apple among
them Red June's which would be prize
winner at any fair and Hawley's al
though summer, fruit were as large as
the Wolf Rivers.
This tract was originally the Jameson

DAY

The Pendleton East Oregonian of last
evening relates the following forgery
story:
One of the biggest forged check swind
les that has been worked here for many
months occurred last evening when J. T.
Neil passed a forged check for $184 up
on Louis Moses, of the Workingmen's
Clothing company. In return for the
same he secured about $70 worth of
clothing, $40 in cash and a due bill from
Mr. Moses for $70.40. Neil, who is a
young fellow from Union county, is now
in the county jail, having been arrested at
1 o'clock this morning by Sheriff Taylor,
assisted by the other local officers. -WAS
' INNOCENT APPEARING
It was shortly before six o'clock last
evening that the check was taken by Mr.
Moses. Neil is a b g built young fellow
of about 20 years of age. and he said he
had been working for Lorenzen Bros, on
their ranch near here. He had a check
upon the Savings' bank in favor of Charles
James for $184.75, and signed by Lor
enzen Bros. Trie writing of the checK is
of a vertical school boy style and is ident
ical with the signature on the back. How
ever, the boy was an innocent appearing
fellow, and Mr. Moses said he did not sus
pect him in spite of the size of the check.
However, immediately after he had left
the store Mr. Mose9 ascertained from the
Savings Bank people that the check was
a forgery and the sheriff and police were
notified.
ARRcSTED AT DEPOT
After securing a description of the boy
from Mr. Moses the officers searched the
town during tne evenine. bjt no trace of
Neil was found until the delayed No. 5
pulled in at 1 o'clcck.
Just after the train had pulled in Mess
ers Blakeley and Meeker noticed a young
man with a suit case on the opposite
side of the train frcm the depot, On being
questioned by the policeman the boy said
ne had just arrived cn the tram and was
going to visit an uncle named Frazier
who lived here.
"Your clothes are nice and clean after
the ride on .the tram," said Deputy Blake
ly. That officer then persuaded the boy
to go with him into the depot and this
morning Neil said he took the deputy for
a hotel runner. When inside the waiting
room the officers compelled the boy to
open his suit case and when it disclosed
the articles that had been purchased from
Mr. Moses he was placed under arrest
by the sheriff.
HOME IS "ANY PLACE"
At the county jail this morning the
prisoner gave his name to the sheriff as
J. T. Neil, but aftewards said his name
was Harry. He declares he is not yet 18
He says his home is any place and that
he worked for a while at Hilgard before
coming here. He has an aunt living at
Elgin. Union county. He had worked for
Lorenzen brothers for three days and a
bona fide check for $5 which he had
with him was evidently his pay for his
work on the ranch.
As soon as he was arrested young
Neil addmitted everything in connection
with the affair and seems to show little
concern over the matter.
This morning Marshall Guardane found
the $70 due bill which had been given
to Neil by Mi. Moses. It was on the
sidewalk in front of the tenderloin district
and had been torn to pieces. When
arrested Neil had but $15 of the $40
on his person and he had evidently spent
the rest during the evening.
