315 East Court Street.
Captured at Nampa, Idaho Is Sup.
posed to Be a Member of an Or
' ganlzed Gang Operating In the
Northwest.
Sheriff T. D. Taylor arrived In town
Jon the belated No. 1 passenger train
iimay mill a man kiwiik uis iimuc
as John McCabo, who la wanted here
on the charge of forgery.
McCabo Is supposed to bo the ninn
wanted In Weston for passing a
check for $22.50. As soon as the
worn was received that a forged
check was passed the sheriff got a de
scription of the man and sent them
broadcast over the country.
Wednesday morning the sheriff re
ceived a wire from Nampa. Idaho,
saying that a man giving his name as
McCabe and answering the descrip
tion of the man wanted here, had
been arrested there. It was further
stated that the man had practically
confessed to being the forger want
ed here. The sheriff then wired to
know If the man would return with
out requisition papers and was an
swered that he would. On this infor
mation Sheriff Taylor left Wednesday
evening for Nampa to secure the al
leged forger and returned this fore
noon with the man.
McCabe. It seems, went to Weston
last week and forged a check for
$22.50. signing a fictitious name to
It, and succeeded In passing It off.
From there he went to Boise, Idaho,
where he was arrested as a vagrant
and given time to get out of town.
It was not known then that he was
wanted here, but when he reached
Nampa the chief of police picked him
up and notified the officers here.
McCabe is supposed to be one of
the organized gang, if there is an or-t
ganlzed gang, of forgers working
throughout the Northwest. For the
past several months there has been
an epidemic of check forging .and
each time the criminal has succeeded
in getting out of town without being
apprehended. McCabe may prove to
be mixed up in other forger)- cases.
ta u is tiintpd that his arrest may
be the means of causing more of the
gang to be run to earth.

Theodore Harm, of North Fork, Sells
His Farm and Settles In Grand
Ronde.
The many fishermen and sportsmen
of Pendleton and the neighboring
towns, will learn with keen regret
that Theodore Harm, who has resid
ed for 15 years on North Fork, five
miles east of Wilbur Station, nas soia
his home In the mountains and re
moved to La Grande. Mr. Harm's
hnmo has nlwnvs been the objective
point for sportsmen and camnlng par
ties from this city. His genial gooa
nature and ready hospitality has en
rto.iroil him in pverv man who has
dragced his tired feet over the Blue
mountain ridges on a hunting or nsn-
ing trip.
Mr. Harm settled in the deen can
yon of the creek, with towering
mountains on either side and con
verted the narrow bottom lands into
a veritable flower garden. He raised
vecetables In such abundance that he
could not dlsnose of them, and me
frnm his dalrv was In greater
demand than he could possibly sup
ply.
Hp manufactured currant and el-
Horhcrrv trlno fnr hnmp use and made
his Umatilla county home as nearly
an imitation or nis oia uerman norae
as possible. The best wishes of a
host of friends go with him.
He will be missed on North Fork
and in Umatilla county, and will al
ways be a welcome visitor.

over-drawing
the Account
Ever' hour in the day you
are using up nerve force,
body tissue, blood cells, en
ergy everything that means
health. Always taking away,
always borrowing do you
ever pay it back ? The thin
body and pale blood say no;
the reserve force is about
gone. There is a general
weakness and the body is run
down. You have over-drawn
your account; you must
make up the deficiency, but
how ?
Scott's Emulsion makes it
up with interest. It will
clear you of the debt you
owe health and give you a
working surplus of solid
flesh, good blood and healthy
tissues.
It's the lack of fat in ordi
nary food that shortens the
supply of fat in the body.
In Scott's Emulsion the
necessary element of fat is
plentifully supplied in the
most palatable and easily di
gested form. It enters the
system quickly and without
effort. There's no tax on the
digestive organs no strain
on any part of the body.
We'll send you a sample free
upon tequest.
