course of conversation that ran along
through the bargains for goods he in
formed the salesman that he lived out
near Charley Wolfe's ranch but that
he was going to move to town and had
rented modest rooms in North Ottawa.
His selection of furniture having been
made. he remarked that he would de-
eide later whether he would take them.
a decision devolved on a proposed deal
with Mr.. Wolfe. He, the customer, had
some calves that he was about to sell
to Wolfe: he had telephoned to the
ranch and learned that Mr.. Wolfe was
in town. He should hunt him up.
About o'clock in the evening he re-
turned. and announced that he would
take the goods, and gave the address.
He rendered in payment a check on the
First National bank for $44, payable to
]. z Smith and signed C. +. Wolfe.
The bill of goods amounted to $3.50,
and he received the difference. 81 40,
in cash. During the course of yester-
day, Mr.. Nelson sent a deposit to the
bank. including the check. The latter
was promptly repudiated by the teller
as bogus paper-the signature was not
