Man's'' Game.
Provo, March Am individual who
looked the embodiment of honesty came
to Sheriff Fowler today and presented him
with check of $50, which he claimed to
have found on the street, and asked that
ne be rewarded for delivering it up.
The check was in favor of e. L. Jones,
signed G. Blomsterberg, and drawn on
the Utah National bank of Salt Lake.
MIR. Blomsterberg says it is a forgery,
as he has never drawn such check, nor
has he any account with the bank named.
1t is surmised that this parsonage, who
claimed to have found the check, was try
ing to work dodge for whisky money
and the sheriff has a sharp look ont for
him.
