Mr.. WILLIAM G. SCOTT, Of Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, found Chicago an uncOm-
Portable locality. While at hotel his
pockets were picked of all his cash, and
he was compelled to offer Il draft in pay
ment of his bill. In these days Of bank
failures and general crashes the Chi
cagoan looks with suspicion on a
draft. The hotel-keeper, instead OF
bowling and smiling and looking bland.
while he felt disappointed at getting g
draft instead of cash, became irate and
called Mr.. Scott u dead Deal," and had
him arrested and brought before the
Police Court on charge OF Vagrancy.
And here is where the singular part of
the story comes in. MIR. Scott swore
hat the draft was good and would have
been honored. Other witnesses testified
that they knew Scott, that his father
was wealthy man, and that he was
connected with leading house in Cedar
Rapids and was a mau OF good habits.
In spite Of all this and the testimony OF
the hotel keeper that Scott had
stopped with him previously and always
paid his bills, he WAS convicted and
fined $20
