How Forger Worked Clever Ruse or
a Superior Saioonkeeper

SUPERIOR, WIS.-The police are look
ing for clever forger that got in his
work to the extent of $3.50 on the Fourth
and whose exploits have just been re-
ported to the police. A check, purported
to be signed BY J. B. Ennis, a saloon
another saloonkeeper,> and the latter is
out $780, E.,-
1t seems that some man called Larson
up, telling him it was Ennis talking He
said that he needed some money, and as it
was the Fourth he could not get into the
bank. He asked if Larson would cash his
check. Larson supposed it was Ennis and
when the man appeared, saying he was
sent by Ennis, he took the check and de-
llvered the $3.50. When the check went to
the bank it was found that it was drawn
on an altogether different bank than En-
MS does business with and f. vr1ent was
refused. Investigation showed nat it was
a forgery. :' .~,
