CHECK CAUSES TROUBLE
FOR MISSOURI VISITOR

William J. Lee was arrested by De-
tectives Ritch and Talamantes yester-
day afternoon on suspicion of uttering
a worthless check, and Is held pending
Investigation.
Suspicion of the police was aroused
a few days ago when check for $E,
drawn on Kansas City bank and
signed by the cold Bug Mining COM
pany, r. r. Logan, president" was
given to the proprietor of a rooming
house at S15 New High street
The detectives went to Lees room
yesterday afternoon and questioned
him as to where he received the check
which he had presented to his land
lord. Lee said he was in the employ
\ of the Gold Bug Mining company and
had received the check for services
rendered them, and produced another
check for $139 drawn on the same bank
and signed by the same company.
Lee said he came from Kansas City
a few days ago and was here in the
interest of his employers.
When confronted with the fact that
there has been no such concern as the
Gold Bug Mining company since 1897
and that F. #. Logan was never its
president. Lee became confused and
attempted an explanation, but became
so involved that he gave up in despair.
With the checks as evidence and the
confused statement made by Lee who
at first gave his name as M. j. john
son, the detectives arrested him.
