It has developed that this man, who

among the farmers around Madelia,
but for liquor This information was
brought to Chief of Police Ario late
Saturday by one of the farmers, who

the same story. This was the man who

Peters was selling stock food. He
had been so informed by one of the
farmers, but later found out that
Peters was not selling stock food but
liquors. The banker was informed
that Peters. was taking orders as

Peters cashed some checks at a
bank in Madelia AS far as known,
the checks were all perfectly good.
But he had five Of them still in his
pocket when he got on the train
Friday, going towards st. Paul, the
checks aggregating $29. These are
the checks for which Long paid
him $21.
Long cashed Two Checks.
g Long cashed two of the checks at
the National Bank. of Commerce in
Mankato, getting $11. He visited
saloons that evening, and managed to
go through the money. At some
saloons he tried to cash the other
checks until he was interviewed by
the police.
Payment was stopped on the other
three checks. and they will be re-
turned to those who issued them.
: However, the farmers that issued
the two checks that Long did cash
are liable for that amount of money.

whether Peters really did represent
George Benz & Sons, and whether
any liquor shipments are received by
the farmers who gave the orders and
the checks. 80
