Clerk Praised
By Federal Man

Much praise was bestowed on
Bob Brandon, clerk in Nell'S mar
keB, Holtville, bya secret service
operative who was here yesterday
in connection with the arrest of
S. M. Thornburg for passing coun-
terfeit currency early Wednesday
morning.
The federal officer stated that
if Brandon had not been SO quick
in noticing that the SIS bill Thorn
burg gave him in payment for a
package of cigarettes was no good
and had he not remembered the
license number on the car the man
was driving, there is probability
that other merchants in the valley
would have been victimized.
When Brandon was sure the
bill was bad he notified the Holt
vile night Waterman who telephon-
ed the Ell Centre police to inter-
cept Thornburg when he reached
this city. Examined at police head
quarters here, $375 in counterfeit
currency was found hidden in his
cap.
I Thornburg was arraigned before
III S. Commissioner Dorsey White
law yesterday at noon and wa:
bound over under $4,000 bond foi
trial in the federal court.
