The rain has made the streets of
this city very wet and the loose dirt
that has resulted from the laying of
the gas mains, the storm sewers and
the placing of the curbs and gutters
preparatory to the paving, has become
almost bog holes. Weatherford peo-
ple will be happy when the paving
is completed—at least they should be.
C. E. Binyon of Deport, Texas has
purchased the James Campbell home
on Bridge street and he and his fam-
ily will move to the city as soon as he
can straighten out his business af-
fairs. Mr. Binyon has been engaged
in Deport for several^years and it is
likely he will become identified with
the business interests of this city
during the next few months.

8. R. Barker returned from Gaines* l
ville Sunday night, where he went to|
identify John Elmer Tucker, who Is
in jail in that city on charges of for- j-
gery. Tucker was arrested there *
last Thursday, while he was cashing
a check at a bank, and It developed
that he was playing the same game
that he pulled here when he used the
cecks obtained at Hobb’s Gin. Mr,
Barker says that there1 Is no doubt
but what he is the party wanted here.
He was wearing at the time of arrest
the hat and coat he purchased at
Mineral Wells, giving a check in pay-
ment on the funds he had obtained
on.the Hobbs checks and had on de-
posit in the State Bank in this city.
His arrest was affected after he
had worked one of the banks in Gain-
esville for $600.10 along the.same lines
he worked this city. He secured the
checks from the gins, deposited them
and then drew a large amount of the
deposits. He had just deposited his
$600 check, and drew $400 which it
seems he turned to a confederate. He
then went to another hank and was
working the same scheme. But in the
meantime the cashier who took the
first deposit became suspicious and
telephoned the gin, and was told that
the check was forged and that a num-
ber of other checks had been taken
from his book. The cashier immed-
iately set out to . notify the other
banks in the city and caught Tucker
in the act of pulling his game/ The
sheriff was called and his arrest ef-1
fected. It developed however, that
he had two confederates. One of them
stood on the street corner and was
acting as a spy while the game was
being played and the other remained
at the hotel and acted as cashier. Im
mediately after the arrest of Tucker
the other two men hired a jitney an-
started for Fort Worth. The officer
started in pursuit and a race that Ja’t
ed several miles resulted. The t'.r

JUDGE WILSON DINES
CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE.
Preston Martin was a guest at a
dinner Judge James C. Wilson ten-
dered the men who formed his cam-
district. The dinner was given Sat-
urday night at the Judge’s home in
Fort Worth and a principal feature
of the menu was game meat which the
Judge recently bagged in a big hunt.
The judge announced that he has al-
ways planned to have this dinner, but

men. quit the jitney and went to a
farm house where .a farmer was inr
duced to take them to a certain place,
but they led the trail to the Denton
Creek bottom where they made their
escape. The officers have a complete
description of the men and are-sure
paign committee when he made his
first race for congress from the 12th that it will only be a few days until
they will be taken.
These men have been working this
game several months it seems, and
several towns and a number of banks
have been victims. Before working
Weatherford, Terrell, Denison and
Sherman were worked. When they
this was the first time opoprtunity has | left Weatherford, they cashed a check
offered. Every member of the com-
mittee with two exceptions were pres-
ent.
Coal ia Again Scarce.
The city Is again without coal and
a few of the people are using just
anything that is obtainable for fuel.
The conditions are such that it ap-
pears almost impossible to have all
our wants supplied at the same time.
For a while we boasted a sugarless
towq as well as a saltless and coal-
less town, but the sugar famine has
been relieved by thS arrival of a cou-
ple of cars. A supply of salt has
also been received and we are sitting
nice in thatline. A car of coal would
now be welcomed. Several cars have
been received during the past few
weeks, but a car does not go very
far, even if it is handed out in small
quantities. *

the Ladies Automobile Club will meet
Tuesday afternoon at 4 o’clock with
Mrs. R. W. Davis, on East Oak street.
The club has been quite active during
the past few weeks and several bad
places on the Mineral Heights Drive
have been put in good shape. . A full ..
attendance of the members is re-
quested at the Tuesday meeting, as*

at Mineral Wells and then went to
the Panhandle, where they worked
their game either at Clarendon or
Quanah. From there they jumped
to Pine Bluff, Ark., where they pulled
a good one. They next struck Gaines-
ville, but played the game so strong
suspicions were aroused and the lead-
er caught.
Tucker, when arrested gave another
name, but his correct name was learn-
ed from a letter he wrote a relative. It
seems he was horn and raised in
Rockwall county, and it is reported
that his parents are well to do peo-
ple. He and hfs confederate^ have
been at this business several months,*
it seems and the banks of the country
have been worked for several thous-
and dollars. At each place visited,
Tucker, disguised as a farmer, played
the leading role, and in each case
checks obtained at gins, in
every case the leading gins
community, were used.
Tucker will be brought to this city
for trial at the next term of the dis-
trict court. ✓
