Brought to Justice.

Some eighteen months ago A. L..
Hamilton came to the Commercial
Bank in Union City with a note for
$3.50, signed by C. r. Wade, w. H.
Wade and his father-in-law, w. H.
Montgomery. At the expiration of
the first six months the note was
renewed and the interest paid, and
a second time renewed without any
suspicion Of irregnlarity. But when
a call was made for the interest
upon the expiration Of the next
six months, the proceedings led TO
the discovery of forgery. The
notice was forwarded to Oklahoma,
where Hamilton had gone. He ac-
knowledged receipt OF same and
mailed check on a bank at Norman
to cover the amount. Everything
went smoothly until the check was
returned to Norman for collection.
The bank refused to honor the
check, which was returned to the
Commercial Bank here. Immedi-
ately the sureties we're notified at
Kenton, who reported the sigma
lures counterfeit and the note
forgery. Sheriff Finch was quietly
appraised of the facts and second
demand for payment sent to Ham
ilton. This time he complied with
check which the Norman bank
honored. This done the sheriff at
that place was notified to place
Hamilton under arrest until Sheriff
Finch could reach Oklahoma, and
Wednesday the party arrived with
the prisoner and he was placed in
the Obion County Jail.
