CHECK WORKER ARRESTED
Passes Several Bad Checks on Local
Business Men and Is Trailed to
Manchester - He Is Re.
turned TO This City.

A. Il. Jones, of Urbana, ILL.,, was ar
rested in Manchester, Ohio, by the
marshal of that town late Friday
night at the request Of Squire Fred
W. Bauer and was returned here Sat-
urday by Constable James Mcnamara,
the prisoner having agreed to return
to Maysyille without requlsition pa
pers.
The man is being held under two
charges, one Of robbery and the other
of passing worthless paper.
All day Friday Jones with the as
sistance of Arthur Gill, local man,
who is also in Jail on a charge Of aid
ing and abetting, passed worthless
checks on local business men for pur-
chases and in some instances secured
money for the entire amount Of the
check. Mr.. Arthur Dale, proprietor OF
soft drink stand on Market street. is
the heaviest loser as he planked down
$21.10 in cash for bad check when
Arthur Gill told that Jones was all
right and so was his paper.
Another one of the checks was
turned over to the proprietor Of 9
local hotel for a board bill and still
another was passed on an East Enc
groceryman for groceries. A tele'
gram from the Illinois bank upor
which the checks were drawn was t
the effect that they were no good ant
would not be honored.
The charge Of robbery also placed
against Jones grew out of littl'
escapade in local pool room few
nights ago. 1t seems as though Jone!
and another man were playing poo
and when Jones opponent in thu
game started to pay for the game h,
drew a ten dollar bill which the poo
room man could not change. Jone
snatched the ten dollar bill out of tn,
mans hand and told him that h
would get it changed. He left tn
pool room and did not return.
The check case will be heard be
fore Squire Fred w. Bauer this after
noon at 2 o'clock.

farewell SERMON
Rev. N. +. Jones Gives PIP PastOrate
of the First Baptist Church to
Accept Work Of Explaining
New Financial System
Throughout the State.

Rev. N. F. Jones preached his fare
well sermon to the membership of the
First Baptist Church yesterday.
Mr.. Jones gives up the pastorate of
the local church to accept a position
with the Baptist State Mission Board
as key Budget Man" and will spend
his entire time in the future travelling
from city to city to explain to the
many Baptist churches in this dis
trict Of the state the new Budget
Plan of Church Finance"
During his short pastorate of only
few months here, Mr.. Jones accom-
plished much in the way of building
up the local church. He Is an ener-
getic pastor and one of the best
preachers the local church has had in
recent years. Being of an evange-
listic work when he accepted the call
to the local church. Realizing this
thdI Ht lldu SlNeU tHe
new financial system much study and
thoroughly understood it, the State
Board called on him to undertake the
great work of informing every Bap-
tist in many counties the whole mean
ing of the new system.
During their short stay in our city
Mr.. Jones and his family have made
many friends who will be more
than glad to know that although he
gives up the pastorate here, the fam.
lily will continue to reside here and he
will make this city his permanent
headquarters.
Although the pulpit committee o.
the local church is in touch with sew.
eral prospective pastors, no definite
step toward calling a pastor to TAKE
up Mr.. Jones work has been taken
1t is more than likely that such steI
will be taken in the very near fu
ture, however.
