REEDSBURG
(Reedsburg Times }

A few days ago stranger tried ra-
tier bold scheme to obtain money from
the Reedsburg bank. The man came
into to vn aud egan the search for
house to rent. He finally rented one of
the JAS. A. Stone houses on the West
| side from Real Estate Agent John
Claridge and after the contract was
signed he explained to Mr.. Claridge
that he had check and would go over
to the bank, cash the check and pay
months rent. Mr.. Clsridge went over
to the bank with his client and intro
duced him to Mr.. Krause, cashier. The
stranger gave his name as Mr.. Grey, a
painter and paper hanger and said he
was moving here from NJ ADDISON to take
up his residence. His household goods
were expected in few days and be had
rented house of Mr.. Claridge. He
then presented the check made payable
to MIR. Grey, signed by Mr.. Davis and
drawn on Madison bank.
Mr.. Krause explained it was against
the rules of the bank to cash personal
checks for strangers unless Mr. Grey
would get someone to endorse the
check, Mr. Claridge, who was interes-
ed in the lel. SIP ' ed his gooi 5usi
ness training by saying he did not
wish to endors the check as the man
was as much a stronger to him as
to the bank. Mr.. Grey then
fastened to assure the gentlemen that
he did not wish the whole amount that
if they would pay him $500 on the check
the would deposit the rest and run his
checking account on the Reedsburg
Bank.
Mr.. Krause was still firm and said
he would telephone the hank at Ma6i-
son to ask if p Ayment would be all right
or he would sen the check down and in
two days the money would be here for
Mr.. Grey. The stranger agreed to this
/ asst, left the check and promptly dis
appeared.
As soon as the Madison bank receiv-
ed the check and Mr.. Krause's letter
explaining the case, they telephoned
to say the whole business was a
fraud, no such parties were known
to them and they congratulated the
bank here on not being taken in by
this clever scheme which has been
worked on good many banks. The
State Bankers Association officers
were at once informed of the crooks
scheme and letters have been sent to
all Wisconsin banks in hopes that the
man may be caught.
Mr.. Krause describes the man asa
