A FORGER CAUGHT.

The Police Seem to Have Made Good
Catch In Jasper Carter.
Sergeant Donavan and Officer Capron
caught forger very cleverly last night
He Is Jasper Carter, who has been in the
penitentiary before and appears to be an
alI-round crook
Carter went to Mrs. Kitchens place
across the street from the Rock Island
depot and offered a check of SO in pay
ment for services rendered. The
check reads, "The Central National Bank
of Topeka to the First n ational Bank Of
Denver. Pay to the order of Jasper Car
ter $25 Z. J. Kies. cashier
Carter's bill was $40. Mrs. Kitchen
was suspicious of the draft, and was
willing to pay $40 for it instead of So.
She volunteered however to go out and
get it cashed. Instead she showed it to
Officer CaprOn, who knew that E. j. kIes
was not cashier of the Central National
bank lie telephOned for Sergeant Don
ovan, and together they arrested Carter
The prisoner was too dun bfOunded to
make any explanation. Mrs. Kitchen
says Carter had another bogus draft for
S275, but the officers were unable to Sc
cure it. Carriers case has been taken to
Justice Chesney's court
Carter was four years ago found guilty
in the federal court here of embezziing
the funds of d pOstoffice in western Kan
sas, of which he was the postmaster He
was sentenced for six months. He has
