Woman Returns
Money Received
On Bogus Check

SilyertoH Or, Mar S.-Russell
Mccullough received the surprise
Of his life "a few days ago when he
oponed an envelope and found a
check for $3.50 signed by Airline
LivinGton. Some time last month
Mr.. Mccullough sold a few articles
to a fair woman and received her
check on the First National Bank
Of SilvertOn in the sum of $40. Mr..
Mccullough gave her $3.50 in
change. Later the check was re
turned marked mo funds" No
trace of the woman could be found
and he had given up hope Of ever
apprehending her. The letter in
which the check was contained
made no comment on events of the
past and Mr.. Mccullough is at loss
to know why she rendered him q
worthless check. He thinks the
woman might have been in need of
change and had no other means of
obtaining money at that particular
time.

During the summer of 1898 hut few
Indians came to Fort King and the
parlcys with the Indians having been
