i'd with Checks on His Honeymoon.

few days ago young couple came
E from Boston and went to clergy
to be married. After the ceremony
groom passed to the clergyman a
ok for ten dollars. Then the groom
invited the clergyman and his wife to
accompany him AID his bride in a ride
about the town the next day in order
that the couple might see the city. The
invitation was accepted and the four had
very pleasant ride. The bride and
groom parted from the clergyman with
many expressions of regard, evidently
sincere. Later on the clergyman had an
inquiry from the stable keeper as to the
identity of the young man. 1t turned
out that he had passed check in pay
ment for his carriage and the check had
come back marked worthless. The fell
low paid his hotel bill with bogus
check, and the check he gave to the
clergyman was also no good. The
couple have left town and their where
abouts cannot be ascertained. The
