HELD FOR FORGERY
\
LUKE MRAE ARRESTED IN
DAWSON ON SEVERAL COM
PLAINTS. $750 BOND. |
L. A. Mcßae, a well-known farmer
of Sumter county, was arrested in}
Dawson Saturday by Chief of Police
W. L. Hill on the charge of forgery.
Developments reveal that a number‘
of Dawson merchants are among Mc-
Rae’s alleged victims, among them F.
W. Herman, C~E, Bridges;: J. A,
Horsley, W..W. Black, Dawson Phar
macy, C. G. Wall, Dawson Hardware
Co., D. F. English and W. S.«Cul
pepper. His method of operation was
to make a small purchase, give a
check for a larger amount in payment
and receive the difference in money.
He used several aliases in signing the
checks, among the names being Smith,
Jones, McDonald, Suggs and William
son. The forgeries were committed at
different intervals since last July, and
ranged in amounts from $2.20 to
$21.85.
When first arrested Mcßae denied
any knowledge of forgeries, but con
fessed to them later after being identi
fied by a number of his victims. He
was released during the day,.relatives
and friends coming from Sumter coun
ty and making bond for him in the
sum of $750. He is about 40 years of
age, is prominently connected in Sum
ter and has a family.
Publication in a recent issue of The
News of an item stating that mer
chants of Dawson was being victim
ized by some one giving worthless
checks lead to the arrest of the forger.
When Chief Hill read the item he set
to work to find the guilty party, with
the result that he had obtained suffi
cient evidence on which to arrest Mec-
Rae when the latter appeared in Daw
son again Saturday morning.
Two Covies of Mexican
Quail in Terrell County
Birds Brought Here Have Propegated.
Unlawful to Kill Them.
The Mexican quail that were
brought to Terrell county last season
by Mr. E. L. Rainey have thrived here
and multiplied to considerable num
bers.
The birds were procured through
the office of State Game Commission
er J. Frank Rhodes, and there were
originally six of them, but two died in
transit. The four remaining birds were
liberated on the farm of Mr. C. S.
L.ee, near Doverel, at a location es
pecially suited to them. There are now
reported to be two covies, numbering
15 or 20 each, of quail.
Attention is called to the fact that
ithcrc is no open season for shooting
or trapping these birds. They are pro
‘tect(;(‘. by the federal game law, which
forbids the killing at any time ‘of
game birds introduced from another
country for propagation. This law
will be enforced and hunters are warn
ed not to kill any of these birds.
The Mexican quail is some larger
than the native bird. It is blue of col
or, and has a topnot. It is hoped that
by protecting the covies now near Do
verel that this specie of bird will soon
spread to all sections of the county.
DAWSON MERCHANTS HAVE
COMPLETE LINES FOR FALL
The merchants of Dawson, optim
istic over the outlook for a fine busi
ness this season, have visited the east
ern markets and selected with special
care the handsomest and most com
plete stocks in the different lines
shown in Dawson in a number of
vears. The goods are here -for the
most discriminate shopper, and if the
money is not kept at home to help
build up Dawson it will not be the
fault of the storekeepers.

BURGLARS ENTER
|
| SEVERAL STORES
{GDT $58.00 AT ONE PLACE IN|
| DAWSON, AND GOODS FROM |
l TWO STORES AT GRAVES. |
' Burglars put in a busy night in |
| Dawson and vicinity Wednesday, and |
[made hauls at three places. "
At the store of J. H. Mills, at the
| Elladale Estate on the outskirts of the |
city they obtained $5B in cash. Noth-!
ling else was missed, It is supposed |
|the safe was left unlocked when the |
Istorc was closed at night, as there was
no evidence the morning after the
‘l)m‘glary that it had been tampered
with. At Graves Station the same(
night the stores of I. H. Kimble and
Joe Chambliss were burglarized. The
principal thing missed by Mgr. Kimble
was a large quantity of canned goods
and two sacks of flour were taken
lfrom the Chambliss store. There was
evidence that an unsuccessful effort
was made to enter the store of D. M.l
Dismuke at Graves the same night.
Saturday night the store of Pope. Mc- |
Clung, near the Central railroad sta
tion in Dawson, was broken into and[
$8.75 and a pistol stolen. '
Entrance into all of the stores that'
were robbed was at the front doors by |
breaking the locks. |
Sunday some boys found a quantity!
of canned goods in a vacant residence
on Sixth avenue, and reported their
idiscovery to Sheriff Woods, who took |
charge of them. They were later
identified as some of the loot that was’
stolen from Mr, Chambliss’ store.

CITIZEN QUOTES LAW |
FOR SUNDAY CLOSINGI
I Editor Dawson ‘News: The impres- |
sion seems to be that we have no city |
|dl'dinancc on Sunday closing, so Il
lquotc the following from section 191
of the city code of Dawson: “It shall
be unlawful for any business house to
keep an open door on Sunday; pro
vided that drug stores may at any
time sell medicines and fill” prescrip- |
tions.” It would appear from this thatl
only medicines can lawfully be sold |
on Sunday in Dawson. A CITIZEN.
