May Have Mental Trouble.

posed to be of Putnam, n. ". is being
held at police headquarters pending in
vestigation of suspicion that he was
engaged recently in this city in fake
check operations. The man. evidently
suffering from some mental trouble, en-
tered the station yesterday and asked
for aid in reaching his wife and children
in Putnam.
He said he had left them in March.
when blow on the head rendered him
irresponsible.
The police are practically certain he
is the man who few weeks ago made
out check on the Tieonderoga, n. Y,
National bank for S5 which was cashed
by Joseph Mintzer of Rutland. Streeter
had no account with the bank, but is
sued other checks. which were eashed by
local men.
When arrested Streeter had in his pos
session book of blank checks on the
Adirondack National bank of Saranac
Lake, n. Y. and one check to which he
had signed his name, Streeter.

ago received letter from a Mrs. f. p.

mother. Mrs. Sturtevant and the Illi-
nois son are the youngest and eldest, re-
spectively, of three sons and one daugh-
