Smooth Game Overated in
Wake by Unknown Forger,
Who Disappears. 1
Guxette-News Bureau,
The Hotel Raleigh,
Raleigh, Nov. 18.
Impersonating Marcus Martin, a
lumber man of this county; forging
the names of John W. Vlck and his
wife, Sallie D. Vtck, to a deed convey
ing 104 acres of property; forging the
name of Justice of the Peace Stalllngs
of Little River township; having the
deed . registered in the court house,
and attempting to borrow 11500 on
the land these are the crimes charg
ed up to an unknown white man, who
endeavored to pull off one .of the
smoothest frauds ever reported In this
part of the state. Had it not been for
the shrewdness of E. P. Maynard, a
lawyer in this city, the Impoater and
forger would have got his money, and
somebody would have lost exactly
that sum. ...
The story came to light when Mar
cus Martin, a white man, was arrested
for the crimes. . Mr. Martin was
brought from Wendell to Raleigh and
confronted with his accusers "I don't
know anything about It," he said.
B. C. Beckwlth, who drew the deed
for the other Marcus Martin, said:
drew the deed for Marcus Martin, but
that alnt the man.-, I saw the other
Marcus Martin Tuesday."
The prisoner was carried before Mr,
Maynard, whe declared that, "ain't the
man; I'd swear that."
Justice of the Peace H. H. Roberts
then released the real Marcus Martin
from custody. .
"I tell you I was mad," declared
Marcus, "and when Mr. Honeycutt ar
rested me I cussed and raised sand."
When Mrs. Sallie D. Vlck, who
came to the city for the preliminary
trial, expressed her opinion of the ras
cal who tried to sell her property by
saying: "Don't we wish we could
get that man!" '
Deed Signed October 14.
The conveyance transferring 104
acres belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Vlck
near vvakeneld to Marcus Martin was
dated October 14 and was filed for reg
istration November 1. A few days la
ter the forger called on Messrs. May
nard & Peele, lawyers, and endeavor
ed to borrow $1500. He was told
that they did not have that much
handy, and he waa sent to Mr. Brown
Shepherd, another lawyer. Mr. Shep
herd was investigating the matter, on
a tip from- Mr. Maynard, when the
forger disappeared. The arrest of the
real Marcus Martin followed.
The following la the note sent Mr.
B. C. Beckwlth, the attorney who drew
up the deed for "Marcus Martin," the
note purporting to be from Justice of
the Peace Blake Stalllngs, certifying
that he had examined Mrs Vlck prl
lly and signed up the conveyance pa
pers:

"Marcus Smith" did not want the
title to the 104 acres of good land In
vestigated; he said he knew the title
was good and felt no misgivings. He
also said he would come back and
pay Mr. Beckwlth 5 for drawing up
the papers, but he did not.
Mr. Beckwlth says he would know
the man If he ever saw him again.
The fellow is described as rather slim,
about five feet four Inches high, with
reddish-brown and brown hair. He Is
about SO years pld.
Knew Ills Business.
, Whoever the fellow was he knew
the property he was describing. He
had every angle right and gave his
attorney all the assistance necessary.
Mr. Vlck heard of the matter about a
week ago and of course he was wor
ried. He will have to have the court
declare the alleged sale of Ills proper
ty Invalid to clear thy! title.
Officers are on the lookout for the
"Marcus Smith," and If they succeed
In catching him he will be placed
safe until he Is tried.
Deputy Sherlm Jim Honeycutt of
Wakefield served the warrant on the
real Marcus Smith, traveling twelve
miles to t saw mill to do so and sit
ting up all night.'

that he was simply In the office with
Mr. Williams, who was a friend of his
and that-while Mr. Williams was
showing the plaintiff ft pistol It was
discharged, the ball taking effect in

plaintiff had been In the office for

CATARRH OF THF. STOMACH.
Pleasant, Simple, But Safe
. Effectual Cure For It.
and
COSTS XOTHIXG TO TRY.
Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to In
curable. The usual symptoms are a
full or bloating sensation after eating,
accompanied sometimes with sour or
watery risings, a formation of gases,
causing pressure on the heart and
lungs and difficult r breathing, head
aches, fickle appetite, nervousness and
a general played out, languid feeling.
. There Is often a foul taste In the
mouth, coated tongue and If the, Inte
rior of the stomach could be seen It
would show a slimy. Inflamed condi
tion. .
: The cure of .this common and obsti
nate trouble Isl found In a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before It has time
to ferment and Irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the .stomach. To
secure a prompt and healthy digestion
Is the one necessary thing to do, and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap
peared. . '
, According; to Dr. HarUnson, the
safest and best treatment Is to use
after each meal a tablet, composed of
Diastase,. Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux,
Ooldon Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now d found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets and not being a patent
medicine can be used with perfect
safety and assurance that healthy ap
petite and thorough digestion will fol- .
low their regular use after meals.
' The plan of dieting is simply an
other name for starvation, and the use
of prepared foods and now fangled
breakfast foods simply makes matters
worse as any dyspeptic who has tried
them knows,
As Dr. Dennett says, the only reason
I can Imagine why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are not universally .used by
everybody who tf troubled In any way (
with poor digestion. Is because many
people seem to think that because a
medicine la advertised by a trademark
it must be a humbug, whereas, as a
matter of truth, any drugglgt who Is
observant knows that Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets have cured more people of
catarrh of the stomach. Indigestion,
heartburn, heart trouble, nervous
prostration and run-down condition
generally, tmtn, than all the patent
medicines snd doctors" prescriptions
for stomach troulile combined.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the
(fet preparation as well as the sim
plest and most convenient remedy for
any form of Indigestion, catarrh of
the stomach, billousnem, sour stom
ach, heartburn and bloating after
mehls. V V
