CAVE BAD CHECK AND
is PUT UNDER ARREST

Robert B. Davidson, believed by the
police to be a check artist who has
passed several worthless pieces of pa
per this month, was arrested this morn
ing in a saloon at Seventh and Main
streets by Detective Routson. A
charge has been pending against Da-
wilson since July 9, upon complaint of
Claus Peters of the Mitchell bar, who
cashed a check for $40, drawn on the
Pacific National bank. The check
proved fraudulent one and an attempt
was made to locate the man who passed
it, but he had left the city. Returning
to Boise, Davidson pulled off another
check stunt last night, giving a check
at a saloon for S25, on which he was
advanced S. by Steve Inglin, who this
morning found the check worthless.
The writing on the check was similar
to that on the check passed at the
Mitchell bar, and both men identified
Davidson as the man who gave them
the checks.
When arrested Davidson was too
drunk to be arraigned and he was
locked in the city Jail to sober up. It
is also claimed that he had another
check on him, which he attempted to
throw away when taken in custody.
The check was made out in his favor
and signed by him.
