PINE BLUFF LIN
 PROMOTER IN JAIL
J. J. Fiske, Who Went to Little Rock And Started To Build Interurban to Pine Bluff In Jail In Nebraska As Forger-Drew Forged Check On Little Rock Trust Company.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. lS.--Like iianquo's ghost. it seems that James ]. tiske erstwhile Little Rock inter- urban railway promoter and Chicago bogus check writer, will not down. Under his euphonious nom de plume o1 'C. F. Coon he has again appeared this time to the discontinue of a Joplin, (Mo.) bank, where he secured .tfe cashing of a bogus check for sh50 ffe has also used his ':pennane" to tile value of hundreds of dollars in Nebraska according to the story now going the rounds.
 tlskc. alias Coon. came to Little Rock some two years ago, and by his brisk, business-like manner soon ere ated the impression that he had plen- ty of circulating medium back of him. 1e interested a number of local cap- italists in a deal for an interurban connection with this city and Pine Bluff, raised considerable money, got the work pretty we'll under way gen. erally, and then suddenly decamped without so much as hy-your-leave. The next information obtainable vas that Mir. Fiske had been arrested in Chicago for passing worthless checks at a hotel in the breezy city; but be- fore Little Rock officers could reach the shore of Lake Michigan the ni1nble Fiske had secured his release from the Chicago authorities and had taken a nasty departure.
 However, he was not forgotten; nor did he forget. Occasionally a souvenir ill the way of certified" check drawn on some local bank, usually on the Union Trust Company, bore evil dence of his continued prosperity at the expense of the unsophisticated in the financial world.
 Recently it was reported that Fiske, or Coon, or whoever this shrewd man ipulator is, was working up an eX- 'ensive interurban proposition ill Col. orado, and it was presumed that he had quit the evil practice of his ear Her days and was trying to earn a living in the original Adamic fashion by the sweat of his brow.
 But, alas! for the credulity of the rest of us. it was not so Within the last few days the Union Trust Con- pany has had returned to it check purporting to have been certified to and signed by Sam Reyburn of that institution for $450. payable to c. F. Coon. The check was cashed by a Joplin bank without discovering that it was a rank forgery
 Both the crude certifying" and the fact that the name of Reyburn was attached as cashier" ought to have warned the victimized banks as no trust company ever has cash fer, nor does any reputable institution ever attach such form of certifica- tion as that noted on the returned checks.
 Caught At Last.

He wove for the credulous folk of the town a wonderful story of the possibilities of Hastings as an interurban center tsame old storvt, and showed them ho" economically they could combine an electric power plant With q water works system etc. until the natives began to get real stuck Up" about Hastings. Fiske, or Coon, as he four ished on his calling cards, was driven about the city in grand style feted, feastcd and given the fat and the lean ioi the land. Finally, he was taken ill and underwent treatment al a Has ting sanitarium. Upon his recovery. so thoroughly had he ingratiated hirn- self into the favor of the town, the at tending physicians politely "cashed' his check for $f50, taking the check in payment for their services and al- lowing hin, the balance of $6O in good, hard Nebraska money. Not only this, but more. They endorsed his personal check for $160. and this he had cashed at bank in the town. In both cases. he represented that he had deposits galore in Omaha banks. Tn few days the checks were returned as worthless~-but the promoter with the oily linguistics had departed, and was mourned in Hastings as one lost.

 Having successfully eluted the off, cers at Hastings and being ill the hab- it of eluding successfully Fiske, alias Coon, tried his financial deal in Rear ney, Neb.. where. 1t is alleged. he passed 8 worthless check for S237 un- der the name of Coon. He also seems to have worn the alias Kenefeck in that town and told the people he was q Memphis railroad promoter This was last week. The officers of Rear ney telegraphed the Omaha police to keep a sharp lookout, which was done. with the result that Coon was ar- rested in Omaha and is now in jail iii that city. Since his arrest if has developed that he cashed a worthless check in Omaha On the Byron Reed Company last September through an endorsement of Daniel Shull, we'll known real estate dealer of Omaha Shull was prevailed upon, he says. ta endorse the check through representa- tions made by Coon that he was ''an Elk in good standing" Shuli. as the endorser will. of course, have to tSt Er iccc

Coon, it is said. it being alleged that he se- cured $240 on worthless representa- tions in that city. Of course, if there was anything to be gained by a visit to this city it is not to be disputed that those who suffered through his manipulations in Little Rock would probably like to see Coon. alias Fiske, alias kenefeck. in town again.
 It was perhaps largely through timely telegrams sent by Mir. Key burn of the Union Trust Company to bankers in Omaha and elsewhere to the effect that Fiske was a smooth operator and that he was doing 8 wholesale business in his line that the officers were able to finally make their catch.
 There is little doubt, from advices sent from Omaha, that Coon, Fiske or whoever the operator is, will have to make the finest and most diplomatic representations" of his life if he succeeds in getting out of the tangled skein of circumstances he has woven for himself.
