A WELL PUT Up JOB sPoILED.--Last week,
a fashy hooking young man, stranger
stepped in to the Lamoille County Nations
al Bank, and presenting check signed
BY some pretended party in N. Y, and
payable to the order of II, l.. Seymore, for
$40, on the Tompkins County National
Bank, and said he wished a certificate OF
deposit for the amount
The cashier told him he could leave il
for collection, but declined to give GER
tiGcate of deposit until the check was
cashed. The young man endorsed the
check with the name of Ii. L. Seymore
in his first attempt to endorse it, however,
he had written al. l.. BOWL and
then drawn his thumb across these letters
leaving them nevertheless quite legible
After he had gone, it was found that his
name as registered at the American House,
where he had stopped the previous night,
was H. L. Bowles. Whether Bowles Is
his real name or only another alias, Of
course, we can only surmisc.
That it was rather a cunningly put VI
Job. we have no doubt. ''-'
The check was duly sent to the Tompkin
Co. Bank, and returned with the endorse
lnent that none of the parties were known
to that institution. Dowles has not re-
turned for his certificate of deposit yet
