"KITED" A CHECK
Man Posing as Farmer Bought
Clothing With Money.
Police Believe They Have Two
Clever Crooks.

Posing as farmer near Berryton,
man walked into the State Savings
bank and asked for a sight draft on
the Berryton bank, with the statement
that he wanted to buy some clothes.
One of the busy clerks gave him the
draft and recommended him to the
Felix Clothing company. He bought
shirts, a suit and hat and received
back in change $45 for his $95 sight
draft.
This morning he was picked up at
a local rooming house by the police,
together with woman who poses as
his wife. He gave his name to the
police as J. w. Cobb, which name
he has tatooed on his arm, but he had
signed the check with the name Price.
The draft was found to be worthless,
but the clothes were recovered by the
Felix company.
Chief of Police Hannah declared
that he believes both the prisoners
came here from Joplin. A letter found
in Cobb's possession showed he had
been selling diamond rings sent him
by persons to dispose of, the chief said.
Cobb admitted he has served time at
Lansing, it was stated by the officers.
