BROWN UNDER
ARREST CHECKS
CAME BACK N. G,
Promoter OF "Healing Com
pany" Behind Bars Son of
Mohican Spring Company's
Organizer
Local Merchants Have Worthless
Paper - Brown Says LET
Others Make Good

Gustav E. Brown, promoter" is
behind the bars at police headquarters
today on the charge Of having utter
ed worthless checks amounting to be-
tween $500 and $400, which were
cashed by several local business
firms.
The arrest of Brown this noon
came as somewhat of a surprise to
many who have been watching with
interest the promotion of Browns
latest enterprise,-a Healing COM
pany'' that was going to cure every
thing from cOrns to appendicitis.
Stock was being issued for sale.
Mr.. Brown is son of J. Dicker-
man Brown, formerly of Bridgeport,
who organized the Mohican Spring
Water company of lamented memory
and sold it for about 100000 to
Bridgeporters a decade ago.
From behind the bars of his cell
this noon, Mr.. Brown admitted to a
Farmer reporter that his checks,
which were drawn on a New York
bank, came back.
What was the matter, didn't you
have chance to make good?'' asked
the reporter.
"Oh yes, 1 had a chance to make
good all right declared Brown;
now am giving somebody else a
chance to make good" added Mr..
Brown, confidently; 'it will all come
out all right, 1 think"
The Howland Dry Goods company,
the D. NJ Read company, Meigs &
Co., and the United Cigar stores, and
other prominent business firms are
numbered among those who made the
discovery that Browns checks were
worthless.
Brown is alleged to have used tht
name OF Dr. Ernest q. Abernethy, q
well known local dentist, in securing
cash on his checks. DIR. Abernethy
hastened to headquarters this morn
ing and explained his connection with
the case His endorsement is said to
appear on several of the checks. The
authorities are satisfied that DR.. Alb
ernethy acted in perfectly good faith
in the matter.
Brown and Mrs. Brown came here
several weeks ago and have been liv-
ing at the Atlantic hotel Mr.. Brown.
promptly on his arrival here, began
the organization of healing" COM
pan that was going to cure every
thing, including both dental and med
ical treatment. A stock company was
formed and Mr.. Brown was engaged
in promoting this.
Brown opened headquarters in the
Warner Building for his new COM
pany and had a number OF men
working for him.
