A Sioux Falls Check Manipuiator

A Sioux Falls Check Manipuiator.
Sioux Falls, D. T., October c.
A laborer named Michael Mclaughlin,
who has been working for the Sioux
Falls water works company, received
from W. s. Kuhn, on Saturday. a check
for S9.l7 on First National bank. This
be raised to S90.l7 by inserting cipher
after the figure nine, and adding "ty"
to the nine" Thus "heeled," he pre-.
vailed upon Werner, the clothier. to open
his store yesterday morning, and reward.
ed him for his trouble by purchasing
S2S worth of clothing. Werner paid him
the balance that the check called for in
cash. Happening to meet Khun, the
maker of the check, shortly after, Wer.
ner mentioned the fact OF having sccep.
ted the check, and was then informed Of
the fraud. Chief Jefers, who was immedi.
ately put upon McLaughlin's trail, nab.
bed him just as he had perfected his
arrangements for speedy departure,
and conducted hlm to the county 1ail.
Mclaughlin begged hard to be released,
offering to give up all he had received
on the check and quite an amount
beside, but his pleadings were of no
avail. He was examined this morning,
and bound over to await the action Of
the grand jury. Chief Jeffers found Q
lot OF dimes and nickels in McLaughlin's
possession, and now thinks he is the
party who burglarized saloon here
lately, when similar lot of coins were
abstracted.
The bogus check was raised IN bung
ling manner, and with different shade
of ink, which, coupled with the unusual
fact of day laborer having $50 90
check for spending money, makes it
surprising that business man should
have accepted it.
