Plan to Pass Bogus
Checks is Spoiled
R. M. Williams Landed in Jail While
Impersonsting Salesman for
Brewing Company.

After laying elaborate plans to gather
in a snug sum of money by the aid of
bogus checks a fellow giving the name of
r. NJ Williams fell down on the first
deal and ended his brief career in the town
by occupying u cell in the city jail.
Williams. IL ttat is his name came to
town Monday forenoon and went to the
Manhlttan saloon where the proprietors.
Jensen and Larsen, are the agents of the
Miller Brewing company of milwaukee,.
Williams introduced himself as one Of the
head men of the brewery and said he was
making a hasty tour OF the Miller terri
tory for the purpose of meeting the men
who were handling the beer.
Mr.. Jensen took the trouble to introduce
him to all the saloons where the Miller
product is sold. He spent money freely
and made good impression. Late Monday
night after spending 81 or 50 in the Man
haitian, he discovered that his funds were
about exhausted and promptly wrote
check for SIS. Jensen readily complied with
the request to cash 1t, and Williams was
making fair start when a real Miller
Brewing company man happened to come
into town and called at the Manhattan.
Jensen, trif1e surprised that the two
functionaries appeared TO be strangers
introduced them The bogus man was not
a whit abashed, but the genuine repre-
sentative evinced considerable surprise.
Jensen's suspicious were aroused and he
sought an opportunity to secure some facts
about the alleged head man. He got
enough IN a minute 10 convince him that
the alleged head 'man was a fraud and
demanded the return of the money. Will
Jams wilted and gave back all he had
$l26O. Then the police came in
In police court yesterday Williams adj
mitted the truth and said he was ready TO
( take his medicine. His case was con
