 Yesterday afternoon Captain Hyde was notified by telephone from Bridgeport worthless check in that city was wanted, from the fact that he bought watch and chain and rendered the check in payment and then took the train for this city. He was reported as 8 man about five feet six inches tall, red side whiskers and wore black Derby hat. Later Sheriff R. 0. Morris and the man who was swindled appeared on the scene looking for the man, but at last &C., counts he had not been found.
