Rosenbraus SHERIFF LOGAN B \URNSAWITH FORGER Bartow, Dec. 24.—Sheriff John Logan has just returned from an $00-hundred mile trip to Alabama, where he went to bring back Fred Gray who was wanted here on the charge of forgery. He got his man a¢ usual and now he is behind the hars. On Friday, Dec. 13, Fred Gray, who has been staying around Eagle lLake, went to the White Star res- taurant and presented the manager, E. D. Pearce, a check for $26.75. The check had the name of Gray's broth- er to it as the drawer, and was on a Winter *Haven bank. Mr. Pearce cashed the check, but it was not long until he found out that the check was a forgery. The matter being then reported to Sheriff Logan, the <heriff lost no time in locating where Cray lives in Alabama, and wired the authorities there to arrest his man. He was assured that Gray was back home, and after securing requisition papers he went and got his man. It transpires now that this man Gray was indicted on =a similar charge in this county in 1910 and that he has been hiding out ever since. The authorities have been looking for him ever since the in- dictment was returned, but did not know that he had returned to Polk county or where he was. He will be l:eld to await the action of the grand jury. 1. YBODY FOUND. TH 5000 Um (By Associated Press.)

New York, Dec. 24-—-Moving pice tures depicting Bibical scenes are more potent than preaching a ser- mon, is the opinion of the Kev. Dr. f larry W. Jones, who became famous curing the Spanish-American war as the “tighting chaplain® of the United Swates battleship Texas. He has re- signed his pastorate of the First Re- b formed Church, of Valley Stream, 5 1. 1, to engage in giving moving ¥ picture shows of the class known as educational and religious. He was prompted to this undertaking after seeing a moving picture of “Pilgrim'e I'rogress,” Dr. Jones' resignation wag accept- & ca by the parishicners onlye after a long discussion. They were reluctant t, let him go. His pastorate in Val- ley Stream has been highly predue- tive. He was asked to stay, but he suid he felt the call of the “movies’ and must go. H went to Freeport, where he gave his first exhibition, It was a great suceess, The parishion- org of all the churches flocked to see the religious pictures he dizplayed. “1 realized that | was wasting my time,” he declared today, *“for 1 had hefore me living characters whose ac- tions as they unfolded their sublime story were far more potent than any- thing | could say in the pulpit. I ac- cordingly resolved to resign my pas- torate in Valley Stream and engage permanently in the moving picture business as manager. 1 have no sym- pathy for the melodramatic moving vietures, but a religious subject, tact- fully and reverently treated, in my apinion, will do more to advance tha enuse of religion and to uplift hu- ranity than a thousand eloquent preachers ever can hope to accom- plish by their oratory.” VETERAN INDIAN FIGHTED KILLED IN PENSACOLA.
