A local newspaper is often accus
ed of bias in regard to giving por
sonul notices of mentioning tho
coming of some and omitting others.
Tho fault is with tho people and not
with the editor. He is always will
ing aud even anxious to toll who
comos and who goes, if he can find
out. If you have visitors, lot us
know who they are aud where they
came from. If anything happons in
your vicinity let us know about it,
if there is a party at your house
furnish us with the namos of those
present ; if you got married let us
know about it. You will find us as
ready to "notice" one as another,
patron or otherwise, friends or
foes. Our object is to give the news.
Wellington W. Bilgor, of Council
Blafk, Iowa, is a refugee from jus
tice.! He is a forger to the extent of
manf thousand dollars. Tho Avoca,
Council Bluffs and Omaha papers
rite fall of his exploits, and tho cano
lkki very dark for tho accused. He
C4mi to Council Bluffs several years
flj'", nd began business as a coinbi-
i!ttib of lawyer, insurance agent
aid eal estate dealer. In common
with a good many others, ho became
e'itkl over tho short lived real es
tate boom in Council Bluffs in 1H.H7,
ad invested heavily in property
wuicl ho held for speculative pur
poses only and expected to dispose
of at a handsome profit.
Fo) a time his conduct of his bus
imjbs. was apparently careful aud
conservative and he gained consi.l
erabli confidence among business
nien.1 But ho was too heavily iuvolv
ea. ae naa negotiated loans ou
pfopirty atnl nail erected expensive
fl its thich ho was uuablo to dispose
of an l many of which stood vacant
mbntl after month. His credit
dwindled. Foreclosure suits, un
pdid bills, judgments, executions,
etc., followed in rapid succession
Then buoer tales of real eslato deals
in wh:ch enormous loans had beeu
secured on property worth much
less tiun tho loan floated about in
reiil stute circulars, but nothing
ewr tame oi tnom.
Thf. beginning of tho end camo
nearly a month ago, whou tho First
National Bank of Avoca, Iowa, re
envied a note for f.'t.OOO from its
correspondent bank at Waverly, Io.
stAFpWvthfl ago and was endorsed by
Buer and seven others, payable to
himself. Among the endorsers was
Caleb Smith, of Avoca, sou of our
neighbor, John P. Smith, of Middlo
burgh. Mr. Smith at onco pro
nounced the signature a forgery.
Then Franklin M. Bilger (Welling
ton's father who lives at Oakland,
wrote that neither he or his son-iu-law,
Win. C. Acker, know anything
about tho note. This opened the
ball and soon it was discovered that
a number of similar notes wore in
tho hands of money lenders. Mr.
Bilger suddenly disappeared. Ho
gave a bill of sale for his household
goods to his wife, and, telling her
that ho would be absent in Des
Moines for a few days, took his de
parture and has not been hooii huico.
Meanwhile his crooked work is man
ifesting itself with remarkable rapid
ity and precision. The Omaha
Globe alleges that three years ago
Mr. Bilger had entered into a deal
with Miles & Thompson of that city
and skinned them out of .-."i,(mx.
Mr. Bilger has a wife aud several
children who 'continue to hope
against hopo that the hut-bund and
father will return und establish his
iunocenco of the herious charges
preferred against him.
