GRAIN PLAYS FARO
The Doctor, 1t Appears, has Been
Making Some Worthless Checks.
COLEMAN WAS ONE VICTIM
He Was Arrested for Negotiating
In This Manner and There
VIII Be Many to Appear
Against Him.

Great Falls. Dec. 10.-Dr. Z. A. Grain,
who came to Great Fails a few days
ago from Missoula with the avowed
purpose of locating In the city and
engaging in the practice Of his pro-
fession. was arrested and placed in
jail last night on the charge OF hav-
ing NEGOTIATED a worthless check with
A. CT Coleman. When arraigned in
Judge Races court this morning
Grain pleaded guilty to the charge,
but claimed he had been under the in
huence OF liquor. and uttered the check
without realizing what he was doing.
Judge Race suspended sentence for As
hours in order to give the doctor a
chance to arrange a satisfactory settle
meht with Mr.. Coleman. The Stand
ard reporter was requested last night
10 SUPPRESS the news of the doctors
arrest on account OF the fact that he
had an excellent and respected family
residing in Missoula. who would suffer
by the publication of the facts in the
case. II was also claimed the check
incident was but the result of a pro-
tracted spree on the part of DIR. Grain
and that matters would be quietly ad-
Justed to-day. However, II now de-
velopes that Mr.. Coleman is not the
only victim OF the doctors checks. Gus
Runzler cashed one for $40 and Mrs.
Olsen cashed another for S29. Another
party caehed a $65 check and still an
other cashed one for $35. It is rumored
that other checks are also out, but are
not likely to be presented for obvious
reasons.
Since DR.. Grains arrival he has de-
voted greater part of his time to
playing faro. He played in a small
way and never attracted attention by
losing large sums. In one gambling
house he Is reported to have won quite
a large sum--enoush to have redeemed
every check uttered-but II is pre-
stunned he lost the money at other
games. After losing what money he
had yesterday afternoon he arose from
the game and said to the dealer: 'T
hope you will attend my funeral"
Nothing was thought Of the matter at
the time and little later he returned
and resumed playing, being interested
in the game at the time of his arrest.
He is said to be a fine physician and
conducts himself in a gentlemanly
manner when not under the influence
of liquor. But he presented sorry
appearance this morning after spend
ing the night in jail. He expects as
sistance from friends at Missoula, and
IL this is not forthcoming DIR. Grain
Will likely become an inmate of the
county jail for some months to come.

great damage. They added, however
that the railroad company has no OBJ
lection to the water mains being placed
under the track further out where, In
case Of a water pipe bursting, little
damage would result. AS a matter of
precaution and to guard against the
enemy the railroad company has sta
TONED sentfnals who will promptly
give the alarm in case OF the water

capture the coveted position.
Questioned by a Standard reporter
as to the cause of the hosti1ities, the
president of the water company said
he simply wanted to make a new con-
nection by means Of another large main
with the present system of pipes He
laid the new main parallel with the
other and desired to cross the tracks
or the railroad at Ninth avenue. For
some reason the company objected to
this plan and desired him to take a
course with his new main which would
involve crossing the old main three
times. much to the detriment and
safety OF the water supply Of the city
IN case OF accident. He was not aware
or any damage which his plan could
possibly infiict upon the railway ccm-
pany or why they should resort to ex-
freme measures to defeat it, AS TO
the legal right of the company to pu,
the water main down, as originally
planned, he felt confident that the
courts would substantiate the posstion
they held, but he did not care to dis
cuss II any further than to say that
the company had deed. giving them
a right-of-way from the pump house
to connect with the city water system,
and this deed was executed before the
railway was ever built. and he felt no
fears OF the result in the courts. IA

change bank of Chicago was discussed

which were held by the Exchange bank
on the strength of the allegation that
they had been pledged by the Mer-
chants National bank of this city as
security for advances made to it. FL
nally the bonds were released on the
school board depositing $4,000 cash in
the Chicago bank referred to, subject
TO the outcome of the suit. A few weeks
ago this bank offered to compromise
the suit on the basis of each party to
the suit paying its own costs and the
