' '. NORTH HURON NOTOR- / ' »■ f .lows. ; .. , There lias' just been, unearthed at Brussels, county of Hhron, a very ingenious scheme of forgery. Dur­ ing last summer a young American nameA. Wallace made his appearance and announced that lie was willing and ready-to purchase a good farm. A fifty-acre place adjoing the village and on which was erected a cheese, factory, was offered him. He pur­ chased it, but on tlie understanding., that the first payment was not' to be­ come due’until 1st Januafy, 188o? •That lie had some cash , was well- known; but liis scheme were large,; aud he .needed a partner. Residing on the- adjoiniug two-hundred acre farm was William Armstrong, a well- to-do aiid' Highly respected, farmer. Wallace made, advances to his. son and induced him to' go into a deal in cattie. Old man Armstrong, who cannot read,: indorsed a note for them. They made some money ou the speculation, and Wallace’s stock went up so high in the market that thereafter when he wished a backer at,any time ^.11,Jie’ had_t<S; dhwies. tp caii on/old maa Armstrong.. Wallace managed to make up his notes by forging the names of prominent farm ers when-he wished the old ones re- ■newed; This-was kept .until little over-two months ago, when he called at Armstrodg’s just before.dusk 'one evening, when the old gentleman was confined to bed by illness. Hu.in-' duced Mr. Armstrong to sign a note, iWiich he represented,’ called for $1,500.- A few days after Wallace received Word that business matters in the States required lookih^after,- and accordingly hej^nt .off to give his personal attention *to the matter. Judge of Mr, Armstrong’s surprise when he was notified a short while since that one of the banks held a note of his, on which slick Mr. Wal­ lace had drawn $8,000. On receipt of the news he immediatelo went to Wingham. and foolishly, as .the se­ quel will show, paid $‘2,OO0 ftyfoali and !gavp a note 'for tlie balance to. the bank authorities.- He has discov­ ered that the names of the other in- . dorsers were forged,’ and that lie. need not have paid one ccnt,Thut, be- ing anj;honorable man, is now mak­ ing a hard struggle to pay of his- in-, debtness. .Of course Wallace’s ^where-; abouts is not known.
