BAD CHECK CAME IS
STOPPED BY ARREST
OF ONE OF SUSPECTS

Worthless checks, one of which was
for S1S5. are said to have been cir
culated in the city during the past
few days, and several others were
offered until the officers were tipped
off and suspect arrested. The main
bad check artist, however, escaped
and police and the sheriff's forces
were trying to get hold of a man
answering the description given by
one of the alleged victims, but up to
late hour their efforts were fruit
less.
The man under arrest and who was
yesterday locked up at the county jail
gave his name as r. H. Marshall, and
he is connected with an amusement
attraction now here. He is charged
with aiding in passing worthless
checks. He and his wife claim that
the real bad check man was not
caught, and that the smooth stranger,
for whom the police were last even
ing searching, had interested them in
the game without knowledge that
there was anything crooked about it.
One Certified" check, which was
cashed, is said to have been "certi-
fed" by the handiwork of the pro-
Queer. 1t was learned that the pro-
ducer's own plant had been employed
to issue the check, which had been
passed yesterday, and on which the
stranger was SOS richer last evening.
1t is claimed that several others were
in the course of being palmed off on
the unsuspecting and trusting public
when suspicion was raised by de
feet in the face Of one piece Of paper,
and the victim made complaint. Di-
rectly thereafter the "artist" van
ished.

HAVE Bic FESTIVAL
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

Crestview, Feb. 17.-This town has
put on city airs during the past sew
eral days in preparing for the home

the town has been called out to serv-
ice of some kind in cleaning up and
identifying the streets and parks.

campaign for the location of the
county court house. These splendid
signs have arrived and are being
displayed by all local automobile
drivers to show all possible interest
in the courthouse fight, which is to

Several thousand people are expect
ed to be in Crestview during the two
days of the spring carnival and in
terest in everything to be shown here
will be one of the wonders of the
exhibitors.

TNDIANAPOLIS, IND. April 25.--It
can be stated with certainty that the
Indiana legislature will be called IN
special session within a very short
time. Governor Goodrich has not made
any announcement of his intention to
call the special session, but it is known
that it Will be called. The call Will be
issued soon after the passage of the
war army bill by Congress. which viii
probably take place this week. The call
will not be issued, however, until the
war army bill is passed and signed By
the President. because no one knows
now what kind of bill Will be passed
nor what the provisions will be.
1t is quite certain. however that the
war army bill will contain a provision
requiring each state to take a complete
census Of its men citizens of military

tenn may be put in effect. The taking
of this census viii be expensive

New York did not wait until the pass
