strsnath Of having bean acquainted with
Clerk Beattie In the east, who supposed
him to Be all right, he induced Landlord
CLANCY to cash check ON Browns Ma
tional bank Of Spokane Falls for
$50 for him. Webb had told CLANCY that he
expected some money from Spokane in q
day or %. Yesterday CLANCY became lita
tie suspicious and sent telegram to the
bank at Spokane. This morning the an
swer came back that the check was worth
less and no such man as Webb had any
money with them. Telegrams were sent all
over the country TO intercept him
and it is nearly certain that
he will be caught. Il was
learned this afternoon that the man had
tried to get check Of 425 cashed at the
Headquarters last night, telling Mr.. Mitchell
that he would get Mr.. CLANCY to endorse IL
in tho morning 40 soon as he got up. Il 10
learned that Webb, which is his right

probable he is going that way. He has been
mail clerk on the railroad, and it is thought
that he got into the mail car Of the 6:45
