MORE TROUBLE FOR KERSHAW.
Accused of Robbine Peter to Pay Paul
With Bad Checks.

Byron S. Korshaw, a graduate en-
glneer OF the University of Utah. who
wept in Justice Bishops court Thurs
day when he was arrnigned for pass
ing a worthless check, and was dis
charged when he offered to make a
settlement. is wanted again today by
the sheriff for q similar offense. An
other check for 81 cashed at the Penn
broke Stationery company reached the
county attorneys office and n warrant
was issued for his arrest.
Kershaw was arrested last Tuesday
for passing a small check and re-
mained In the county jail until Thurs
day when he was arraigned. He told
Justice Bishop about his wife and
family, and said that he had enough
money to make the check good. The
company on which the check was
passed consented to drop the case un-
der the circumstances and Kershaw
settled.
1t now develops that Kershaw passed
two checks the same day. each for
81. He bought few things at each
store and received the change. 1t now
transpires that he used some OF the
money derived from the check cashed
at the Pembroke Stationery company
TO pay the amount OF the check which
he passed first.

authorities to have the census enumera-
tors take the census of the number and
value Of the stock on the ranges OF the

that the enumerators will be able to
gather these statistics even more ex-
peditiously. correctly. and economically
than would be possible by special
agents under existing conditions.

commended that the work be placed
In the hands OF the enumerators. They
assured the assistant director the
enumerators can do 1t. in connection
with the count of population and
farms, with greater dispatch and econ
omy than could special agents. They
stated that there would be no difficult
ty whatever IL the live stock owners
we're made to appreciate the fact that
In giving to the enumerators the in
formation regarding their live stock
holdings there Is absolutely no danger
of IL being communicated to county
assessors or forest service officials.

there might be hesitancy to furnish
this data for fear il might mean
