C. [. JOHNSON CAUGHT.
Passed Worthless Checks in Topeka
and Elsewhere.

G. L Johnson was arrested by
Sheriff Lucas last night charged with
obtaining money from A. c. klfnga-
man under false pretenses- Johnson
passed draft on klingaman for SIS
which is supposed TO be worthless.
Joe Griley signed JohnsOn's bond for
$500 in the city cour< this morning.

SAYS:
This afternoon a warrant was sworn
out for G. L johnson of Abilene, by
O. NJ white Mr.. johnson is
charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses-under very similar
pre1euses to those by which DR.. Corn

IN addition to belonging to this lodge

member Of several other orders
he came here d little over a week
ago from Topeka. and shortly after
ward was followed by Frank Long. a
topeka hotel man, who demanded
that johnson make good a draft which
Long had cashed for him a few days
before in Topeka and which had turn
ed out TO be worthless. johnson gave
satisfactory explanation of how the
draft happened to be valueless and
gave a check on his personal account
at Abilene TO straighten up the mat
ter.
Mr. Long wanted the cash and to
get the check cashed it was necessary
to have the endorsement of an EN-
Poria business man on the cheek.
Would Mr. White please endorse the
check2 Mr.. White had known Mr..
Johnson for about four years. Yes, be
would gladly endorse the check, and
also cashed It When he took the
check TO the bank the teller discovered
for him that the check could not lie
presented before seven days after date
But Mr.. White had known Mr.. John
son for four years. besides his brother
in lola was well acquainted with him,
so he was willing TO wait seven days.
The seven days were up yesterday
and the check was presented but To-
day Mr.. White learned through the
Emporia bank that the Abilene bank
refused 10 cash the check Mr.. VII
hite teIegraphed to Mr. johnson for ex-
PLANTATION. Mr.. johnson telegraphed
back, viii fix things up at once Don
worry
Mr. White didn't worry: he tele-
graphed again to Mr.. johnson that
he would give him until O'Clock to
nix things up. and If he failed he would
turn the matter over TO the sheriff Mr.
White resorted to this decisive meas
ure because in the meantime he had
learned that Mr.. johnson had obtained
another $50 in Topeka from a brother
Ghost Of julius Caesar, and had also
got Z. Fessenden to endorse a check
for $50 on the strength of his being a
Red Nan. NJ. White took the further
precaution Of telegTap hing to the
sheriff Of Dickinson county to keep an
eye on Mr.. Johnson in case he should
attempt TO leave town And when MI
{ White failed to get satisfactory
reply from his telegram at 3 o'clock. he
swore out a warrant and Sheriff New
lin left for Abilene on the next train to
serve IT. The check was for $50.
