Falls ~penitentiary, to q draft for 1858,
which was made payable to the peni-
Tertiary. E.
( Larkin was only recently released
from the penitentiary here after serv-
ing two terms for forgery. The draft
to which he Is charged with having

Swenson was made out by the Farmers
bank, OF Florence, SD, and was drawn
on the First National bank, OF Mime
apolis, in favor OF the Irvine plant,
which is operated In connection with

scented in Minneapolis for payment by
Larkin in person. When LRrkins pre-
scented the draft at Minneapolis the bank
officials informed him they would tele-
phone to the penitentiary here to as
certain whether or not to turn over the
cash to him on the draft. He protested,
but walked out of the bank and has not
been seen or heard Of since. .aG
