STOKES, Uncommon Clothes. SPURIOUS CHECKS. Quit a Rag for Patting The. Fraud Prevail Hr. ThU community ha had a surfeit of worthless checks thrust upon It during the past month, and officers and cltlaens are all agogr and sore over the bold and shameless Invasion. The scandalous efforts of the soldier Paul Efferlngham in this line were hardly condoned and passed up because all his delinquencies were made good and special pleas were mad for him, when an alleged lawyer from Pacific county comes over here and tries his hand successfully in passing a lot of spur ious paper to the discomfiture of a lot of merchants and saloon men; and1 yesterday another clumsy knave did some coarse work In this same line. His name is D. J. Ford and the print er's craft must bear the onus of his claim to membership. He worked a week for the Herald Publishing Com pany, received his pay and having stolen a handful of blank checks, pro ceeded to nil them all out, each for the sum of JIS, deliberately signing them, "Herald Publishing Company, by A. R. Carruthers." One of these he succeeded In pass ing early yesterday morning on Pro prietor Spight, of the La Tosca sa loon, who was not long in finding out they were utterly worthless In a money-sense, but raw forgeries, to boot. Ford was instantly arrested on a warrant charging him with "uttering a forged instrument," and haled be fore Justice P. J. Goodman, who held him to bail in the su mof $400 for his appearance at the February term of the circuit court, whence, if no mistake Is made, he will hie him to the penal colony up Salem way, there to pon der for the next few years on the futility of a blunderer of his sort at tempting a fine-art play like forgery. It Is time the Astoria public was waking up to the gullibility that has possessed it in this relation and put bum check passers up aganst the po lice or the sheriffs office, and so stop Hume of Sun Francisco are in thl city on a business trip in connection wiih tlie Tongue Point Lumbering Company's plant and premises. C. H Hume arrived here on Saturday nlcht last, V. R. Hume coming In on yes terday's noon express. That the lat ter did not bring up his big tiutomo bile nor his little bull terrier "Squlde' is significant of the fact that he Is not going to tarry hereabout very long, C. E. Hume will leave today on hi return trip south, and In conversation with an Astorlan reporter last evening this gentleman very emphatically an nounced that there was not an atom of truth in the recently published statements that the big Tongue Point mills were on the market for sale. H being in an unqualified position to talk authoritatively on the subject, it Is apparent the rumor that was lately afoot all over the northwest, and among mill men, at that, was abso lutely incorrect. MANIAC LOOSE. Break From Confinement in St. Mary'i Hospital. Jack Pakala, a Deep River logger, aged about 20 years, who has bee confined in the violent ward of St Mary's hospital, and is regarded as dangerous lunatic, broke loose yester day. He overpowered the attendan who was bringing in his dinner and rushed from the cell. Leaping through an open window he made his escape, instantly the hospital steward was Informed and with an assistant he started in pursuit. After a sharp chase they caught up with him, but It took the asistance of two more men to overcome the maniac and return him to his cell. During his brief bit of freedom the deranged man created considerable alarm, but fortunately did no damage. Deputy Sheriff Archie McLean was sent for Sunday after noon to put the fellow In restraint and that officer placed muff handcuffs on the prisoner. How he managed to break loose while thus encumbered Is some of the raw work. FLYING BUSINESS TRIP. The Messrs. Hume Arrive Here From San Francisco. Messrs. C. E. Hume and Will R. a mystery.
