Those victimized were O. L.
Weaver, Lupfer and BoWer and
Miss May Sab wen k, who cashed
the checks which ranged in amounts Irom $10 to $40. She appeared at the O. L. Weaver store
during tbe closing out sale and
succeeded in having a check cashed for $85. Mr. Weaver's suspicions were aroused immediately
after the transaction and sought
tbe party who was supposed to
have made the check and found it
to be a forgery. The aid of tbe
Isw was immediately invoked
and ten days later the lady was
arrested at the home of her parents on Bellview avenue, and being unable to give bail Ut the bear
ing was taken to j til. The husband was arrested later in Tyrone.
At court on Monday both submitted to the charges of forgery,
the total amount of worthless
paper passed was $125. Lyle
stated their aot was the result ol

was remanded to jail pending

In the evening the new members
who were chosen by the voters at
the election in November, will assume the duties of the office.
The retiring members are Dr.
T. L. Wilson, Dr. F. B. Forrest,
F. W. Fleiaher and Ira Estep.
Those who will step into thsir
places are: II. B. Lots, C. A.
Hoover, George Steele and Joseph

will also be sworn in for tbe full
term. All the new officials will
serve for a term of four years.
The retiring members ot council
bave been faithful in tbe performance of tbeir duties aud during
tbeir administration of the affairs
of the town a number of public
t provements have been made
among which was the addition to
our water system by the purchase
ol the Logan Valley line, which
now gives the borough absolute
control of all water lines and
thereby eliminating much contention that might arise in tbe fu
ture. Tbe members of council
whose terms are now drawing to a
close were ruueh handicapped in
making improvements to our
streets,due to the high coat of construction, such as labor and materials, aud this much-needed ira-
was  wisely deferred.
