BAD CHECK PASSER IS DESERTER. World: Jacob E. Burke, alias Charles T. Weaver, the boy who was arrested last week after passing a dozen forged cheeks on local merchants, is a deserter from the United States Navy, according to Chief of Police C. T.

Peterson. Officer Emerson Bardin will take him to Bremerton on the night train. There is a $50 reward for his delivery the naval training station. Weaver was born Feb. 19, 1901, and therefore not 16 years of age, as he stated to the of police, but received 20 years old.

It is said that putting in 14-inch pipe at the head of the system has caused the pressure to fall, and the engineer had told the council that such would be the result. There seems to be no foundation for the alleged opinion of the engineer and if the large pipe at the head of the system causes a lower pressure down town, a new principle in natural laws has been discovered, according to all the authorities we were able to consult. There is also no foundation for the rumor that the mayor had ordered 14- inch pipe for the remaining stretch from the "hump" down town. But there are two possible reasons for the low pressure: One is that water is being used as fast as it can come through the and the other" is that there pipe may be "blocks." either air blocks or blocks caused by some material in the line. The commissioner is going over the line and endeavoring to determine whether there are any "blocks" and the restriction on the use of water which begins Sunday will determine whether the low pressure is due to too great a use of water.

In the meantime, ladies and men. let's not accuse anyone of either high crimes or misdemeanors. But the cause must be found and remedied at once. M. E.

The complete renovation of the Leavenworth Community hospital has taken place this spring under the management of Dr. Lessing and new equipment has been installed, providing every possible means of caring for the sick and injured that can be accomplished with the present buildand it is evident that a limited number of people can be cared for in as cleanly and scientific manner here as anywhere. But it is equally evident that a large modern building is necessary. Not awaiting the planning, financing and construction of a new building, Dr. Lessing has gone ahead without much regard to cost and prepared himself for the immediate demands as well as may He has had installed a complete electrical equipment which enables him to examine patients, reduce fractures, locate structions, study anatomies with a view to discovering deformities, photographing and developing, and various other technical operationsall of which can be accomplished speedily by the proper electrical appliances.

Then he has an electric hot and cold water sterilizer, a sterilizer for cloths, bandages and packs and many other little conveniences to sure cleanliness and guard against contagion or infection. A room has been fitted especially for accouchment cases with special conveniences, and another for those requiring open-air surroundings, and all available space has been utilized in an attempt to give the community the best possible service. And he is giving good service. But it is evident that the city is in need of a modern hospital or sanitarium, and one better versed than the writer in the art of healing would find here a subject for interesting disquisition. GRIFFITH MEETS TRAGIC DEATH NEAR CLE ELUM FRIDAY WHEEL BROKE IN TURNING CORNER.

CAR ROLLS OVER AND HIS HEAD IS CRUSHED. WELL KNOWN RESIDENT. While driving to Cle Elum last Friday to purchase bay, J. J. Griffith's auto broke down in turning a sharp curve eight miles this side of his and he was crushed beneath it, living only about three hours and never regaining consciousness.

The accident was witnessed by farmers working in the field nearby and they hurried to the road and removed Mr. Griffith from beneath the machine and he was taken to the Cle Elum hespital, where he breathed his last an hour afterwards. A Leavenworth State Bank book, which he carried, served to identify him and the bank was wired. R. F.

Taylor, cashier, and Mrs. Amanda Town, undertaker, then went to Peshastin to notify the family. They also drove over to Cle Elum and brought the body back, arriving Saturday morning at about five o'- clock. Mr. Griffith was alone on his trip and it is said that he was driving very fast when he reached a sharp turn.

In making the turn 3 wheel broke and the auto, a Ford, rolled over and over. He probably was not thoroughly familiar with the road and did not realize he was nearing so sharp a turn. Mr. Griffith was fifty-six years of age and is survived by his wife and three sons--John, Frank and Willard. John and Willard were employed on the Blewett road and Frank was somewhere in Idaho.

Mr. Griffith was a ranch owner and recently had been conducting a restaurant at Peshastin. He was well known throughout this section of the state and was much respected. He was a deputy sheriff, having been apointed by Sherit Forsythe. Mr.

Griffith's funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at Peshastin. The body had been embalmed by the Cle Elum undertaker and the funeral was directed by the Leavenworth Undertaking Co. and was attended by a vast throng of relatives, friends and acquaintances. -0-- Following is a report of the accident from the Cle Elum Echo: J. J.

Griffith, of Leavenworth, a deputy sheriff of Chelan county, was fatally injured this (Friday) afternoon in an auto accident at the turn of the road near the Jess Peterson ranch on the Teanaway. He was driving a Ford touring car coming toward Cle Elum. As near as is known the car left the road a short distance above the turn, skidded in the loose gravel alongside, and turned turtle. Jess Peterson picked the man up unconscious and brought him to Cle Elum, where he died at the RoslynCle Elum hospital about an hour later. His skull was fractured, besides other injuries.

Chief Byars, of the local police department, immediately left for the scene of the accident to investigate. He reports the facts substantially as written above. PREPARE TO FIGHT FOREST FIRES. Suggestion has been made to the Echo that the community ought to prepare to respond readily to a call from the Forestry Department for assistance when a fire breaks out. The community is of course vitally interested in stopping fires as quickly as possible, thus conserving our timber supply and doing away with the danger to ranches and villages.

The direction of the fire fighting i is necessarily taken up by the Forestry Department and the Fire Warden and it seems that about all any community can do is to have all able bodied registered with the Forestry Department and prepared to respond at call to go and work. Therefore this is suggested. Every man who can be of service and who can possibly get away from his usual occupation, and especially those who desire employment, might register with Ranger Brender and thus furnish him with a list of availables whom he car. call into service at a moment': notice. The Echo is ready to give publicity to and urge upon the people any further means of assisting.

CARD OF THANKS. We wish in this way to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to the many kind friends who extended assistance and sympathy recent bereavement of a kind husband, father and brother, J. J. Griffith; also for the many floral offerings. -Mrs.

J. J. Griffith and Family, -I. C. English and Family.

What threatened to be one of the most disastrous forest fires ever known in Chelan county broke out on the American Fruit Grower's ranch above Dryden Friday. One of the ranch employees built a fire around a huge ant hill and unfortunately high wind arose and carried the burning embers to the near-by timber. fore the flames could be put out it had extended up Anderson canyon and was spreading rapidly when the state ranger and forest service department were notified. All of the force at the Leavenworth office were soon on the job as well as about forty ranchers from the vicinity. After an all day battle they succeeded in putting out the fire.

Several small fires have been started by the Great Northern railway trains and the railway company has arranged to have patrolmen follow each train and see that no damage is done by the sparks. CARLYLE FINDS BROTHER HOAG NOT GUILTY. Silent Witnesses Held to Outweigh Verbal Testimony. World: Justice of the Peace John Carlyle of Lakeside found Justice of the Peace O. A.

Hoag of Chelan not guilty of the charge of unlawful possession of liquor after hearing the evidence in the case Saturday. Deputy Sheriffs George Beidler and George Potter producel as evidence one bottle nearly full of wha was supposed to be moonshine whis. key, and two other bottles nearly empty, which they swore they found in Hoag's office on July 3. Hoag and a man named Claude Johnson were in the office at the time they searched the place with a warrant for that purpose. Beidler stated that he took one drink from the full bottle to determine what it contained.

Both Hoag and Johnson testified that they had no knowledge of the fact that the bottles were in the office, and intimated that some one had! brought them there during their ahsence. Justice Carlyle stated in rendering his decision that the testimony seemed to indicate that the bottle was found in Hoag's office as sworn to by the deputies, in fact he declared that he believed their testimony. But there was a silent witness that outweighed all the verbal testimony for the state. This was the bottle of moonshine, which Beidler admitted having taken. Having known the de.

fendant for many years, Justice Carlyle decreed that the bottle could not have been in the place where it was found for very long, and still remain full. He therefore found the defendant not guilty and discharged him. MRS. BEULAH MAY BERGREN. This community was shocked Sunday by the announcement of the death of a young wife and mother, Mrs.

Gus Bergren, following childbirth and evidently from bloodpoisoning. Mrs. Beulah May Bergren was born in Paloalto County, Iowa, Nov. 17. 1893, and died her home on the Chumstick, July 17, 1921, at the age 27 years and eight months.

Mrs. Bergren was the eldest daughter of Mr. Clarence Wilcox and was married to Mr. Bergren Sept. 17.

1917. Te this union were born two children, Margaret May, three years old, and a baby boy five days old. Mr. and Mrs. Bergren resided in Leavenworth until a little over a year ago, when they moved to their I rar.ch on the Chumstick creek, where she quietly passed away last Sunday morning.

Besides her husband and two children she leaves to mourn her untimely death, her father, one sister and three brothers, her mother and one sister having preceded her. It felt that too much cannot be said of her as a kind and loving wife and mother. She was never heard to complain, always of a gentle, patient and loving disposition. can well be said of, her, "She hath done what she could." The last rites were held Tuesday afternoon under the direction of the Leavenworth Undertaking Company, Rev. Kroneman of Peshastin preaching the funeral at the Leavenworth M.

E. church, and burial was made in the Leavenworth cemetery. MARRIED. MARRIED. Mr.

Leross M. Peck and Miss Geneva Allen, both of Wenatchee, were married last Sunday evening at M. E. Parsonage at Peshastin, the Rev. Kroneman officiating.

PESHASTINITE CALLS US RIGHT. The following letter is a proper call-down for both the Echo scribe and the base ball followers here: and our only excuse is that we "plum" forgot the game: Peshastin, July 16, 1921. The Leavenworth Echo, Leavenworth, Wash. Dear Sirs: I notice in the Echo for July 15 that no mention is made of the ball played on the Leavenworth frame grounds last Sunday. This must have been purposely omitted and I want to say the omission was certainly thated by your subscribers in this vicinity.

a fellow think that the Leavenworth sports must be a 1'a- ther bum bunch. They certainly can play up a victory as we have noticed on those one or two occahave the chance. After a big sions, this, summer when they write-up on the coming game as per the Echo of July 8th, and then absolute silence as to the result of the game--must be pretty bum losers, sure enough. L. E.

WILSON. It seems that the mill team just merely neglected to report the game. They were defeated by Dryden, 12 to 4. we believe. But the manager had no idea of being a He thinks that the next game with Dryden, which is to be played soon, will result differently.

Each team now has a victory to its credit. The same pitcher who was in the box when Dryden was defeated started the game in question and was pounded pretty hard and had to be taken out at the end of the first inning, as we understand it (not having been present) and after that the visitors were held down. But it was only a ball game and no ene seems to have been injured--not even the writer- -whose neglect to get a report of the game has occasioned a few names. We long ago learned that "honesty is the best though the phrase never sounded right. We are not bad losers, brother; but some times good news travels faster than bad.

SEVERAL ARRESTS FOR VIOLATING BOOZE LAWS DRY ENFORCEMENT MAN GETS DRUNK AND GOES TO BED WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S WOMAN. COMPLICATIONS ENSUE. The past few days have been marked by the arrest of several local parties for vending booze and by the arrest of an enforcement agent who 15 said to have gotten drunk on liquor he bought from a local man and then went to bed with a woman who was not his wife. The enforcement agent, it seems.

came into town and after sizing up conditions found a local man who sold him some sort of whiskey. He had the fellow arrested, then went and drank enough of the "evidence" to turn his steps from the straight and narrow path, and found a woman who joined him. They were found at a leading rooming house. He was up before the court and sentenced to pay a fine. Not having sufficient money to pay the fine he was confined in the city jail awaiting efforts to raise the money and also such action as the state may deem meet and proper in his case.

Three local men, including the one who sold to the enforcement agent, above mentioned, were arrested. All were assessed heavy fines which they paid. These men, we understand, all have good reputations. They evidently were guilty, however, 01 they would not have SO readily paid their fines. THE GREAT NORTHERN TEAM ADDS ANOTHER VICTORY.

The sawmill boys were in rampant form last Sunday when they overwhelmed the baseball team from Tye to the tune of 18 to 0. The Leavenworth men proceeded to take the game in hand from the beginning and slammed ball to all parts of the field. In fairness to the Tye team it should be said that Boozer suffered a painful thumb injury in the first innings which handicapped him considerably in pitching and fielding the ball. The Leavenworth team, however, was more than a match for the visitors and would have won comfortable in any event. Briggs pitched his usual steady game and although he had only eight strikeouts to his credit he allowed only four scattered hits.

ADVISE CREDITORS TO COMBINE ACTIONS. Cashmere Record: In the federal court in Spokane last Friday, Judge Rudkin advised that creditors in the Bohlke Fruit Company, bankruptey case get together and bring action in one suit. The case, involves between $60.000 and $70,000, is a network of claims, and the Leavenworth bank appearing in the case showed that it was unable to ascertain what claims were good and what were not. Judge Rudkin directed that one action be brought to settle all amounts between the creditors and the bank. overruling the trustees' motion to review the referee's certificate.

The suits referred to above are the cases brought in connection with as signments of insurance money made prior to bankruptcy, and affects, the meney held in the Leavenworth State Bank. The creditors claim that these assignments are void while the holders are fighting to have them sustained. CHUMSTICK. Chas. Northrup has been on the sick list this week.
