s. o. Railroad Company. The. COM
pany refused topay it upon the ground
that it was forged
1t will be remembered that MCGEE
had Hose arrested some weeks ago for
obtaining money under false pretenses.
MCGEE claims that he cashed the
check for Hose and Hose claims rail-
road man stole 1t. and forged his name.
Hose was held for the grand jury but

check. Sim later in response TO an
appeatfrom Hose Captain James R.

chief of the B. s o. secret service
came here and took the matter in
hand and as one result the company
has refused to pay the check.
MCGEE has been in consultation with
his attorney and win in all probability

cover the money.
on the other hand it is the inten-
tion of the company to try to in1ict
the party suspected OF stealing the
check and forging Hoses name.
