Forged Check.

Glen Elk hotel building, the negro told
Mr.. Orr that he had TO go in the drug
store for something. Orr went in with
him. After he had entered the store.
the negro pulled open the door which
opens from the store into the bar room,
and made a break for liberty He ran
down through the bar room, through the
front part of the hotel and started down
the walk towards the Wholesale houses.
Orr ran after him, but at the end Of
the hotel veranda he stopped and told
Policeman Simms, who happened to be
there, to get the man. and the police
man, together with Sam Wilson, the
baggageman. chased after the negro.
Henderson, or Brown, or whatever his
name may be, broke for the tan timber
down West Baltimore street. Sam vii
son family caught him down under one
of Carskadon,s houses below the cannon
house. The negro had erawled under the
house to hide. Policeman Simms then
brought the man over to the city jail
and locked him up.
Later in the evening Manager Orr
went before Squire Riley and sHore out
a warrant for Henderson, charging him
with forgery. The negro..was arraigned
before the magistrate. He entered a
plea of guilty and was placed under =
$500 bond to appear at the next term
Of circuit court. Unable to give bond
he was placed in Jail. Thursday morn
ing he was taken to Weston by the
county officers and incarccrated in the
Lewis county jail.
1t seems that Henderson has been
working the cheell-forging scheme for
some time. 1t was learned later that
on last Monday he presented a check at
the Globe clothing house on Pike street
in payment for 81 worth of clothing he
had purchased. The check was on the
Traders bank. signed by Mr.. Rau. cali
ing Tor 50. The check was cashed and
the Sc difference was given him.
Henderson is now in danger of max.

through Mr.. Orr's shrewdness that he
was captured, and it IS a good thing for
the community. as well as for Mr.. Rau's
bank account. that he was.

cash the check If it was a good one.
Henderson said that he was employed
as dish washer at the Glen Elk hotel,
md that .8lr. Rau had just given him the
check for weeks wages.
Henderson then went out of the office
and started up Fourth street. After he
had gone Mr.. Orr sent out after him
and called him back. Policeman Harry
Brooks, ~hD happened to be on his beat,
brought the fellow back to the office.
Meanwhile Mr. Or called up the Glen
Elk hotel and learned that such check
had never been issued. He told Hender-
son that be would cash the order for
him, but that in order to see whether
1t was good or not he would have to 20
