 CHECK INCIDENT - David Bailey who for some time past. has
 been in the employ of the government forces at Roosevelt, working on the pressure pipe line crew owes it to the city police that he is not broke today. He came to the city vast Friday and at once proceeded to get drunk While in this condition he cashed three checks which had been given him by the gov- ernment paymaster. and having plenty of money it wes not very difficult to accumulate a large following of friends. He visited the various saloons and treated freely. He treated in his turn and out of his turn, his one de- sire seemingly to be the quenching of an abnormal thirst. Finally he reached the limit and passed off into drunken sleep. His crowd of followers not having the same start he had were not sleepy by the time he was fully saturated so they took his money from hisclOthes and continued the celebra- ton. His money was in checks. but | this made no difference to his friends | Two of the checks they cashed. one at the Cabinet for S44.25 and another at the Ford for $465O.. Other of the cheeks were offered at other saloons. !. but the two named were the only ones , cashed. Bailey was picked up by the | police as cOmmOn drunk, but on his clothes were found government checks . to the value of S2OO. It was shortly af- ! ter this that the police were notified that man was offering about town a government check which it was thought he did have a right to. The two facts wer put together and al ook- out kept for the man offering the . checks. Yesterday he was taken up and gave his name as Chas. Griffen. On his person were two of the Bailey checks at the time of his arrest. So ! far no one has been located who paid a check by forging BaiIey's name. The investigation will be continued to- day when it is possible a warrant will | be secured for Griffen on felony charge. Griffen claims to have come here from Camp Superior on last Fri day. Bailey is also in jail and will be ! held there until he is fully sober.
