CHARGED WITH FORGERY
FRED CLARK IS ACCUSED OF
SLIPPING BAD PAPER
Two Twenty Dollar Checks Are
Said To Have Been Passed
On SaIoonkeeper

Fred Clark, laborer who has been
working near Lake Crystal during
the past summer, was arrested by the
police department Saturday night,
suspected of being forger. The
complaint to the department was
made by Sam Olson, proprietor of
The Mint saloon where Clark passed
two alleged worthless checks. One of
the checks was made out in Clark's
own name iE the National Citizens
bank of this city.
Cashed At Mint Saloon.
This check was cashed at The
Mint on Thursday ard Saturday it
came back with the statement that
Clark had no funds there. Later the
fellow cashed another check at the
same salOoE for $40, this check hav-
ing the name of Hugh r. Jones writ
ten thereon. Clark was apparently a
poor writer as the initial r. before
Mr.. Jones' name was written with
a small letter Both the Jones check
and the tIe written on the. bank
where Clark had no funds were for
500, and both were on the National
Citizens bank
Clark Worked For Jones.
During the past summer Clark
worked for Hugh r. Jones and it is
probably for this reason that he is
suspected of using that gentleman's
name or ore of the checks. Mr.. Olson
called up Jones Saturday night and
was assured that no check had ever
been given Clark for $40. The officers
Their started their search for the sus-
pected forger and short time later
he was arrested and taken to the
police station. Chief of Police Ed
Ario said he had learned that Clark
also passed worthless check on the
Trotsky saloon of this city.
Clark waived examination when he was
arraigned before Judge John Temple in
the municipal court this afternoon and
was bound over to the grand jury. He
was committed to the county jail Offi-
Ger Charles Bell stated this morning that
when he questioned Clark the prisoner
admitted that he had forged "a couple of
checks"

Authorizes Certain School Dis
tricts to Levy Up to Twenty
Mills

Senator Gus. Widell is home from
st. Paul to spend Sunday with his
family. The senator has been quite
active since entering upon his new du-
ties and his constituents are more as
sured than ever that their best inter-
ests are being well looked after. He
has already introduced bill, which
is one of the first to pass under sus-
pension. The bill authorizes school
districts in cities of this size to levy
up to twenty mills tax for current ex-
penses. The present limit is fifteen
mills, and with the increased salaries
and other expenses this tax it limits
the work of the school districts in
many ways. Senator Widell is on six
important committees in the senate.
