valed. the famous magician’s stunts by
flipping $75,000 in real money from a
bed at one jerk of the counterpane,
Monday.
Forbes’ $75,00 jerk saved a wealthy
Alaska miner exactly that sum and
also saved thej honor and traditions of
the police department.
The lieutenant put on his act at a
bout 4 a. m. Monday in the suite of
G. D. Hurlock in the Olympic.
Hurlock with his wife, son and
daughter-in-law had been celebrating
into the wee sma’ hours over the ar
rival of a certified draft for $75,000
from a Cincinnati, Ohio, bank. The
check was in payment for a mine hold
ing near Nenana, Alaska.
About 3 a. m. the check w*as discov
ered to be missing. Hurlock was ter
ror stricken. He called the police.
Forbes took charge of the situation,
melodrama fashion began a thorough
search. Forbes delved into books,
peeped inside the radio set, lifted
rugs, shook out curtains and lifted
furniture about for one solid hour.
He was almost at the end of his
rope, but would not admit that he was
baffled. As he passed Hurlock’s bed
Forbes gave the cover a violent shake.
Out fluttered a piece of yellow pap
er. It was the missing $75,000.
Hurlock is a wealthy New Yorker
with extensive mining interests in
Alaska.
YEARLY FORECAST, BIRDS
INDICATE COLD HINTED
I LIVINGSTON, Mont., Nov. 24. (/P)—
If birds and animals know anything
about the weather it is going to be
a long winter, predicts M. P. Skinner,
field naturalist for Yellowstone park.
“Ground squirrels began to hiber
nate 10 days earlier than usual,” says
Mr. Skinner. “Wood chucks wrent
into seclusion two weeks before their
ordinary winter bedtime and red
pine squirrels began to gather pine
cones much sooner than customary.
Such nests of hibernating animals as
I have opened are a good deal deeper
this fall, indicating they are digging
to get away from the frost.
“Birds from the north are coming in
greater numbers and considerably in
j
| advance of the expected time.”
