pleased that he did so. It was not
pleasing to E. j. Pegg, however, who
had Mr.. Wilbur arrested for issuing
worthless checks and he had a hearing
before Justice I. ]. Moe Friday. The
court imposed fine of 500 and SEN
tence of thirty days in Jail. Mr.. Pegg
says he is through with any leniency
in letting go fellows who think it is
a fine stunt to issue worthless checks.
