Man Long Sought for I'm

press Co. Agents by
Means of Bogus Travellers
Cheques Nabbed Here.

Through the alertness of Agent B. f.
T1nis Of the American Express com
pany Eugene Brockaw, alias Arthur A.
Long. was arrested by officer Porchert
while trying to cash three 5000 trav-
eler's cheques. That Brockaw is an
important member OF a gang that has
r-Nsen operating all over this part of
-sfne country is the opinion OF Chief of
Police Peter Austgen.
The arrest of Brockaw was the re-
suit of the receipt by Agent Tunis of
a circular sent out by the American
Express company warning the agents
in this section of the country against
a sharper who attempts TO cash Domin-
ion of Canada travellers cheques.
Agent Tunis had read the circular
in the morning, and in the afternoon
a we'll dressed man appeared at the Of
flee and sought to have three 5000 trav-
eler's cheques cashed. The agent sus-
pected al once that this was the man
regarding whom the warning had been
issued.
Excuse to Call Officer.
He stated that he would gladly cash
the checks, but that he did not have
enough money on hand and would have
to go out and get some. He stepped
out of the office and called officer

Brockaw. He also gave a phony ad-
dress, but the chief made him reveal
the fact that his father lived in 5S3
Forty-third street. Chicago, where he
conducts a drug store.
A damaging piece of evidence against
Brockaw was his Identification this
morning by the agent of the Ameri-
can Express company at Evanston, Ill.
who says that the man incarcerated
here is positively the same man who
passed a travellers cheque at his Of
fee several days ago.
This morning man. giving his name
as Johnston. called up Chief of Po-
lice Peter Austgen and wanted to know
il a man by the name of Arthur A

day afternoon for short visit with
Mr.. and Mrs. McGrew. Just this side
of Darwin was little spot where equal
parts of water and Mother Earth had
mixed up to nice consistency that
looked good to the auto for little
rest, despite the Colonel's coaxing the
machine sank into it and refused to
bulge. y The Colonel drew a long
breath and asked his wife to say
something approprite to the occasion.
After some little time the machine
was extricated with the aid of engine,
some mule power provided by a near
by farmer, and sundry fluent remarks
made by the Colonel in low voice so
that the children could not hear. 1t
was Mr.. March's first experience of
the kind and one that he does not
want to undergo again. However, as
long as he arrived at "Piety Hip in
time for supper, it wasn't SO bad after
