CHECKS;
TOO FREQUENT
.. n. REEVES FACES a CHARGE OF
CROOKED WORK.

From Sundays Daily.
Eventually the way Of the trans
.gressor leads to grief, az. j. y.
Reeves, accused Of signing and cash
ing checks which are worthless has
learned. 4Ss
He was taken In last night by Of
hcer Foster after he had cashed q
check for SIS at the Montana saloon.
When the bartender at the saloon
cashed the check he gave Reeves $40
in cash and told him to come back at
4 o'clock for the rest. Reeves came,
and Foster was waiting.
For cashing one Of Reeves checks
for $40 at the Lee Warren drug store,
7. n. Hall is also under arrest, but
he claims that he took the check In
good faith himself. that he has money
OF his own in the bank and that he Is
in nc way culpable.
This is not the first time that
Reeves has been in trouble OF this
sort. Only q few weeks ago he was
arrested for passing q check for SO,
when he had but S. in the bank. This
matter he fxed up, however, b Spaying
the other five,Nand 1T was not thought
particularly criminal at the time. but
merely carelessness.
In the present case Reeves has no
such defense, as he has not, 9 cent In
the bank and has written checks for
at least $35, and possibly for more.
anad attempted to pass them. He and
Hall will both be charged with Obtain
ing money on false pretenses.
