Attention, Subscribers.
The management of the Record
will esteem It a favor if subscribers
will report any and all failures on the
part of the carriers to deliver papers
regularly. A radical change has re-
cently been made In the system of de-
Hvering papers by the carrier boys
and the management in order W as-
certain how the new system Is work-
ing must be lnformed by the subscrib-
ers If they are not receiving their
papers regularly. Therefore, If you
fall to recelve your paper reach us
by telephone, send a messenger, a
postal card, or call in person and
euter your complaint. We will then
endeavor to get the matter stralgh-
tened out to your entire satisfac
tion. The Record is published for
the readers, and the management
wants each subscriber to get the pa-
per with regularity. In order, how-
ever, to deliver a paper at your door
for the sum of twenty-five ceuts per
month It Is necessary to depend upon
boys to do the work. It is not al-
ways possible to employ reliable boys
and that is the reason we want all
fallures to deliver reported at this
effice.

light. who bave recently been victim-
(ized by one of the clevrest swindlers
that has visited this region In many
‘moons. The story leaked out through
{one of the merchants who regarded it
100 good to keep, despite the fact that
{he Is out a ten dollar bill. The per-
‘son who did the job is a woman, de-
scribed as about 5 feet Inches In
height, and slender. with a fairly at-
|iractive face, and clad in fashionable
clothes. While her mothods was not
out of the ordinary the most remark-
able part of the story is that she has
beeen in Sayre some seven or eight
months and none of the merchants
iwith whom she has transacted busi-
ness from time to time are able to
tell her correct name Neither are
ithey able to locate her at the present
me, and the chances are they never
will be,
On Wednesday last she went into a
{business plac In West Sayre and ask-
‘ed the proprietor if he would kindly
cash a check for her. She had visited
the store several times during the
{past six months and of course the
{merchant did not hesitate when she
{presented the check.
The check was numbered 187, dated
{January 4, 1907, and was an order to
ithe First National Bank of Sayre to
{pay "Virginia Taylor” the sum of ten
‘dollars. The check was signed "LV
iTaylor” and endorsed by “Virginia
:Taylor™ The body of the check had
been carefully made out and the pen-
,manship was excellent. The endorse-
(ment on the back had been made In
{a careless manner, but an expert in
handwriting says that the check was
drawn and endorsed by the same per-
‘#on. She received the amount called
for and departed. The check did not
reach the bank for several days, but
when it did the chashier immediate.
ly Informed the merchant that it was
worthless, and that the hank ofMecials
did not know the name of the maker
The merchant then began to realize
that he had been the victim of a fe-
imale swindler. He kept still for a
while, but finally determined to tell
the police
Subsequent developments show that
‘still another merchant was buncoed
in the same manner, and evidently by
ithe same woman. Thursday of last
week, a woman who answered the de-
scription of the one who victimized
the West Sayre merchant, went into
one of the stores in the central part
of the town and after making a small
purchase of merchandise, she present-
‘ed a check for eight dollars In pay-
‘ment. The clerk knew her, she having
been in the store frequently, and
therefore did not hesitate to give her
ithe balance in change. The check was
{in favor of a man named Smith, and
was signed by LM Morgan. It was
presented to the bank, where payment
was refused for the reason that there
{were no funds
It is believed that other merchants
have suffered more or less from the
{worthless checks passed by the same
woman, and the police are making an
effort to locate her
As a sequel to the foregoing story,
Chief of Police James Walsh went to
| Rummerfield last night and arrested
Gelle Glillland, formerly an employe
of the Packer hospital, but who was
discharged from that constitution for
having taken a diamond ring belong-
{ing to ote of the nurses
Miss Gilliland was brought here this
morning by the chief and arraigned
before Justice Carey on the charge
of larceny by M. W. Beisecker and L
W. Stevens, proprietor of the West
Sayre drug store. Friends of Miss
'Gilllland came forward and made good
the amount that she received on Bel-
secker check and the complaint was
{ withdrawn
Miss Gilliland is an orphan and has
been living with an aunt near Rum-
merfield. She was employed here dur
fng the summer months at the hospital
{but lost her position for the
above stated
Chief Walsh worked up the case
against Miss Gilliland, and it was
through his persistent efforts that she
{was located. .
