YOUNG FORGER
CAUGHT
w. c. Berner Raised Check from 81
to $4O-Sent to Pen.

W. c. Berner, young man aged
about 20 years, was arrested Monday
By Marshal Bert Sargent on the
charge of raising check from 81 to
$40 and giving it in payment Of goods
bought at the New York Store.
The young man had been in the en-
ploy Of William Little and the check
was given him in payment for SER
vices rendered. He made purchase
amounting to about $6 from Harry
Scobel, manager of the New York
Store, and gave the raised check in
payment, receiving the balance in
change. Mr.. Scobel soon learned Of
the forgery and notified the police.
$50 was recovered.
Berner entered q plea Of gully be-
fore Judge Bryan yesterday after
noon and was sentenced to an indos
terminate term in the state prison
from one to IA years. Berner testi-
fed that he had been an inmate Of the
Washington state reformatory in 1918
and had escaped from that institution,
Sheriff Klepper at once took him to
the penitentiary at Boise.
The following day Mr.. Scobel had
a similar experience. A girl from
New Plymouth presented = check on
her father for $14 in payment of
goods. She also gave a check for $25
in payment for goods at the Cash
Bazaar. Both checks were declared for
geries by the father, but settlement
was made and the girl was not pros
ecuted
Judge Byran says that young peo-
pie seem to have q mania for Grimm
ii acts Of all kinds, which is general
throughout the nation according to

paroled for the first o6ense upon their
promise to lead upright lives, repeat
