Sirs. Mann and her granddaughter
did not lock tho doocs of the house
when they went to church Sunday eve
ning and had no thought of harm
from anyone when they returned. As
was their custom, however, thoy lock
ed tho doors securely before retir
ing, never thinking that even then a
villain on mischief bent was conceal
ed under the bed. Both women soon
fell asleep and It was near midnight
when Miss Koble was awakened by
her bed being shaken to find a man
on bis knees beside the bed leaning
over her. She tried to scream, but at
first tho sound died In her throat.
Don't holler, kid," said the man.
I won't hurt you; are you alone?"
But by that time the young lady had
found her voice, and her grandmoth
er sprang from her bed in tho next
room. Uororo Bno could get a light,
however, the intruder had torn the
locked door open and made good his
escape. Miss Nooie J pretty positive
she recognized the man, not only by
.bjs voice, but by what she could make
out of his clothing and general ap
pearance In the dim light. There has
been no arrest as yet, but it Is under
stood the authorities are on a still
hunt for the offender and will proba
bly land him before many days.

tho olirk taking tho order roplted that
it was nut customary to send tho
changet tho party should call at tho
store. The party said ho was doing
soma contracting at tho placo and
could not get away until tho ntores
closed. L. S. Orown. mnnagcr of the
Ashland Trading company, supplied
the firm doing tho delivery of goods
with tho change and tho goods went
on. The hour was just past tho bank
Ing hour and tho check for $20 the
delivcryman brought in was not tak
en to tho bank until tho next after
noon. It was then discovered to be
a forgery on the First National bank.
Investigation thowed that tho swin
dler had taken a room at the Morgan
rcsldenco that day and aftor pulling
off the grocery trick Informed the
landlady that his trunk had not yet
arrived and ho was going to the de
pot to see what tho reason was. He
probably took tho 4 o'clock train for
California. Tho Ashland Trading
company recovered tho groceries, but i
not their change. Another firm In
town, it is reported, was stung by
the same man with tho same trick.
but concealed their misfortune. The
landlady of a Fourth street lodging
house found a $20 check on a Grants,
Pass bank in her houso, which Indt-'
cates that ho had prepared to oper-'
ato there. Mr. Brown says he has
handled checks a great deal before
coming to Asiiianu, and this was a
new way of passing a bad one.
