is
Wiuc nuil women arc said to be
the agents responsible for the ar
rest of A. n. MpDnimlil. n tlnnr
maker, who has lived at St. Joints
and who now rests behind lock and
key in the city jail. McDonald
charged with having passed
number ot worthless checks in
Portland and despite the strenuous
citorts of the police and constables,
he had eluded arrest until an early
Hour buudny morning, when he
wait arrested by Detectives Coleman
and Snow on a clew furnished by
Constable Wagner.
A number of worthless checks
bearing McDonald's signature
caused the arrest. One was passed
on A. b. Arata for -T 15, three on V.
E. Liubcrg, each for $15, one on
Litibcrg for $10 and a $40 note on
Liubcrg for $40. Three other
checks, totalling $150, are in the
possession of Constable Wagner
and three others, totalling $40,
have b.'cn turned over to the
District Attorney.
Thcie checks were all passed
about three weeks ago. McDonald
has been working as a door-maker
at St. Johns, but it is said he began
drinking heavily, became enmeshed
in an entanglement with a woman
and spent money so lavishly that
his funds needed replenishing, and
instead of working for the money
he is charged with having circulat
ed the worthless paper. He is a
single man, 35 years of age, and has
an aged mother living at St. Johns
who is dependent on him for help.
According to the records at de
tective headquarters this is not Mc
Donald's first derelection in this
direction. On July 20 he is said to
have pjssed four checks on Hlder &
Conrad for $64, one on J. J. Rich
for $15, one on Gus Plcischmau for

Work Plentiful
You fellows who croak about the
slowness of times in St. Johns do
you know that it is the hardest
thing in the world to secure com
mon labor here these days? Almost
every day some one is scanning the
street corners for men to do a few
days work, but they cannot be
found. The Gas company is par
ticularly anxious to secure men to
dig trenches, but they are compel
led to use foreigners in lieu of Am
erican labor. Times surely cannot
be so bard when it is so difficult to
secure laborers. All a man has to
do wbo claims he cannot get em
ployment in St. Johns is to stand
oa the street corners for a few hours
most any day, and the opportunity
will come to him. Wages run from
2 per day up.
