Perhaps the most interesting is the

some points drop through the hoop
when these two teams meet as the
leading scorers of the Western Con-
ference are on the opposing squads.

the detective grappled With him and
called to his two associates at the
doors to arrest the other man whom
he had noticed as he entered After
a short struggle the two men were
overpowered. When the larger of the
two was searched a torn check was
found in his pocket made out in the
same writing as the two that had
been successfully passed the day be-
fore A number of similar checks
all prepared for use, were also found
on his confederate When confronted
by the tellers of the banks who had
been victimized the day before, the
leader was readily identified. The
two prisoners were hopelessly en-
shared admitted their guilt and in
their hotel rooms were found a large
number of checks. deposit slips and
pass books of banks in various cities.
The Trap Sprung Again
Similar quick action of the bank
crook trap in Boston terminated the
career of another check forger who
had been operating successfully in the
New England states. The banks which
he had victimized notified the Amer
lean Bankers Association with the re-
suit that all other banks in the terri
tory were warned against him and
were put on guard Therefore, when
he walked into Boston bank to con-
tinue his operations he walked into
trap as he was Immediately recog-
nized and nabbed by the officers there.
These are only two instances OF
many that have recently taken place
in various parts of the country. Some
of these arrests have brought into the
tolls of the authorities some of the
slickest operators in this line in the
country and from them have been
learned the details Of the way bank
crooks operate, placing in the hands
Of the detective department the
means to put banks on guard against
further depredations.

He presented a counter check on the
bank for $3.50. together with de-
post slip filed in for $1,000. He also
presented a second deposit slip for
So, proffering with it So in currency.
He told the teller that he wanted to
deposit the two items, that is, So in
cash and $20.60 out of the check, to
the credit of his wife, explaining that
he had forgotten to bring her book
but would return with it later. His
cash and the check were accepted,
totaling 1880 From this sum his
wife's supposed account was credited
with $3.50, the total of the two de-
post slips, and he was given $55 cash
in change.
After the man left the bank the
teller became suspicious due to his
prolonged failure to return as he had
promised with his wife's deposit book.
On investigation the check he had
left was found to be worthless. The
bank communicated with the local
detective office of the association,
giving complete description of the
man.
The Alarm Is Given
Later that same day the detective
Office received another report from a
second bank that it had been similarly
defrauded by man answering the
description given by the first bank.

Swamp-Root a Fine Medicine

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irritable
and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be Just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi-
tons.
Many send for sample bottle to SEQ
what Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder medicine will do for them.
By enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer &
