Bruce Hardy, Accused of Forgery, Surrendered Friday.

Bruce Hardy, for many years a residept of Rensselaer and in general respects a good fellow. and with lots of friends, was indicted by the last grand jury ona charge of forgery. The sum involved was only $lO. Bruce cashed a check for that sum at H. W. Kiplinger’s cigar store and the check which was signed “Barkley Bros.” was discovered to be a forgery. The amount involved was at once settled by a relative and iU was expected to let the matter drop, but the grand jury learned of it and made an investigation, resulting in the indictment. Bruce learned about the indictment and came here Friday and surrendered to Deputy Sheriff Gus Grant. He at once furnished bail, it is understood, and parties whose evidence would be necessary to secure a conviction have signified their hope that the case will be dropped. It ds reported that Bruce had shamefully neglected his wife and children during" recent months and left them for some time almost destitute in Rensselaer and that her father, Scott Brenner, of Mt. Ayr, came here and moved them to that place. At the same time Bruce is said to have been making, a good salary working for Crouch & Son at Lafayette. It is said to have been a condition of the parties who have laid down on the prosecution that Bruce take proper care of hl? wife and children, and it is our belief that Bruce is man enough to do this. His friends hope that tfe will outlive the indiscretion alleged to have been Indulged in and do the proper thing in the future.
