COLLECTOR IN TROUBLE 4
OVER A CHECK AT FORKS

Grand Forks, N D., Sept 3-R. A.
Evans, who has lived in this city month
or six weeks. occupying apartments in
the Got zian Block, was arrested at noon
yesterday on warrant charging him
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. George Platky appeared as the
complaining witness, and certain SIS
check, drawn on the First National Bank
caused the trouble.
There are several other checks, just
as worthless, held by people in the city
who had accommodated Evans by cash
ing checks drawn payable to himself.
Evans claims to be employed by the
0. w. Kerr Collection Agency of Far
go, and with a woman he introduced as
his wife, came to Grand Forks son1e-
thing over a month ago. Shortly after
coming here he made deposit of SIS in
the First National Bank, all of this be-
ing drawn out within few days. Evans,
it appears, did not stop when the bank
deposit was exhausted and w. w. Fe-
gan, w. M. Ferguson and Ole Hanson
hold checks of his making, aggregating
something over $50.
Evans was arraigned before Judge Nc
Loughln, and asked for a continuance
until Saturday evening. claiming that he
would have the money here 10 pay the
amounts called for by the several checks.
His bond was fixed at $Ioo, although
the court said he would accept cash
bond of $50. Evans was unable to raise
any kind of bond, however, and spent
the night at the city hall. &.
He has advised relatives in. other cities
of his arrest and hopes to be able to
make a settlement today.

Wichita, Kas, Sept 3.-Judge David
Mark Dale, nominee of the democrats of
Kansas for governor, has the indorse-

governor unless Hearst were nominated.

his own, Judge Dale did not answer a.
telegram Of inquiry whether OF not. in

national convention, he was still a re-
