the saloons and livery stables of the city for a long time offered a check as the Anheuser saloon. The amount of it was SIP and it bore the name of w. c. Rinard. the liveryman. There was an , impression that Cox had been employed at the livery stable and the size of the check itself was calculated to disarm suspicion. It was cashed and since that time Cox has not been seen about his accustomed haunts. It was learned yesterday that the name of MT. Rinard had been forged.
