the PENALTY OFaTHE LAW
FOR WRlTlN6 SHORT CHECKS

There is n new law that Is ra.aes
severe regarding writing of checks
that are not good.
II has been ia years past a very
common custom in Canon City. as well
as elsewhere. for some people to pay
their bills with checks that are found
short when presented at tho bank.
Almost every business house in
Canon City has collection OF these
bad checks in the cash drawer
In former years II was difficult to
attach any criminal intent to the ac-
Eion. The man who wrote the check
for which he had no money in the
bank. merely said that he "thought''
he had money to cover the amount and
that excused him.
But now there is a new law that
makes IL n rather dangerous thing
to write checks for more than YOU
have in the bank.
The last legislature passed this new
wv which should be fully understood
by every person who has a bank ac.
count or writes checks.
BE II enacted by the General Assem-.
bly, OF the State OF Colorado:
Section Amy person who, with
intent TO dcfraud. shall make and de.
liver or draw and deliver or utter or
sive any check or draft upon any bank
or banking association wherein such
maker or drawer shall not have sufa.
cient funds or credit for the payment
OF same. shall he guilty Of n misde.
meanor. and upon conviction thereof
shall be fined not to exceed $500. 90
or imprisoned in the county jail not
TO exceed six months. or shall suffer
both such fine and Imprisonment: and
the fact that payment OF such check.
when presented In the usual course
pf business, shall be refused by such
bank or banking association for lack
OF sufficient funds to the credit of
the drawer or maker with which to
pay the same. shall be prina facie
violence of the fraudulent intent
herelnabove mentioned.
Sec. ALI acts and parts of acts
IN conflict herewith are hereby re.
pcaled.

Tries to Buy Ring.
A few days ago Devilliers told
Ralph Bundy. clerk at the county
assessors office, that he was going
to he married and desired to purchase
from him diamond ring, valued at
seventy-fye dollars. Mr.. Bundy stated
that the ring was in Florence and that
he could not get IL without telephon-
ing there to have it sent up. This
Deyiiiiers told him to do and that he Ii
would buy II on its arrival here For
some reason the ring was sent up
by express, instead of through the
mails. as MIR. Bundy had expected.
and was not delivered to him until
Friday morning. Mr.. B1ndy says he
is convinced that the failure of the
express company to deliver the ring
on time is all that saved him from
losing ii. When Devilliers went to
draw a check for his purchases at
Templeman & Sons he asked for
pen TO do il with. saying that a pen
Gil mark was too easily, erased.
Once when / was in Dakota said
Deyilliers, II wrote a check for FIVE
dnlforu xxrff a.
erased the numeral and made it read
fifty dollars. Since then have al
ways been careful In drawing checks
Deyilliers kept a checking account
in one of the banks here nearly all
summer. and it was on that account
that he was able TO impose on pee
PIE here last Thursday evening when
he gave himself over TO a reveIry of
check writing.
peviIiier's Whereabouts Unknown
What became OF Deyilliers after
he had got all OF the money and mer-
chandise he could. nobody knows, ex-
cept that he left town and has not
been seen by any OF his Canon City
acquaintances since. He is believed
TO have employed somebody abou;
3 O'Clock Thursday night to drive him
TO Florence. but who il was. or
where he went from there has not
been ascertained, although dIlli.
gent effort has been made by the au-
thorities here 10 obtain some clue
to his Whereabouts. A complaint
against Devilliers was lodged by
Frank Singer In the district nt,or.
ney's office and n warrant was issued
for his arrest and placed In the
hands OF Sheriff Eewec=s fer execu.
tioD. Descriptions OF DeviIl.ers have
been sent to the police authorities
throughout southern. western and east
ern Colorado with the request that ho
be taken into custody. 1t Is thought
that he can hardly escape and his ap-
prehepsion Is expected within the

POWELL Is RECOMMENDED
BY ROD AND GUN CLUB.

A. c. Powell, fish and game war
den, is recommended for re-appoint-
ment by the members of the White
Pine Rod and Gun club. in a petition
which has been submitted to the COM
missioners. The signers declare that
Powell has accomplished more in the
fish hatchery in Ely than the govern
ment officials have in a similar in
stitution In Reno.
The sporting enthusiasts in this To-
eality intimate that their choice as
warden possesses the technical knowl-
edge that is acquired only through
practical experience, and that his eff
ficiency has been amply demonstrate
ed during his term of office.
To place a new and inexperienced
man in that position means that he
will be compelled to acquire the
necessary knowledge to the detriment
and loss of the fish industry. thus in
erpasing the expense of the state and
county. according 10 those who are
fayoring Powell's appointment. The
members of the club claim that they
have spent considerable time and
money In getting a hatchery es-
tablished, and have a deep interest in
its future success.

Jews Will Observe
Feast of Purim

Purim, a half-holiday in the Jewish
calendar, which commentaries the Feast
of Esther. will be observed in local syna-
gogues Saturday evening and Sunday. II
was preceded Thursday by a fast day.
observed by Orthodox Jews, to CORE
spond with the three days fast decreed
according to the legend
The synagogical service for this festival
is limited to the reading of the Book Jt
Esther or Megillah. upon the story Of
which the celebration is pased.
Purim celebrates the victory OF Morde-
cal, the faithful Jew. over Hamar, the
grand vizier of the King Ahasuerus, who
plotted to destroy the Jew. Queen Esther.
It will be remembered. had been elevated
to the throne TO succeed Vashti. who had
displeased the king. Esther was a most
beautiful and virtuous maiden. and II was
through her Intervention with the king
that the heroism Of Mordecai ana the
villainy OF Haman were disclosed 10 him.
The story of the Book of Esther reads
like a novel, and may or may not have
real historical value. Purim means lots
and the festival is so called because the
day on which the destruction OF the
Jews was decreed was chosen by lots.
Purim is a time of general festivity
among the Jews, and like most festivals
OF the Jewish calendar Il is a time for
the giving Of gifts TO the poor.
