The Beatrice Creamery Co. have
sent warning to Chief of Police Lib
ershal of the .tact that someone is
passing spurious" checks drawn on
this company oVer the eastern portion
of Nebraska.
The checks, printed on yellow
p2por. aren't considered very good
imitations. The name of the bank
ordinarily is stamped on the checks.
So far the checks have been cash
ed by a man of medium height, 40
or 4 5 years old, who dresses in a
Cray woolen zipper jacket, gray hat,
and who is neat appearing.
His procedure is to make a small
purchase and tender a check for
$6.9S or ?8.98.
The Beatrice Creamery company
has suggested that merchants, for
their own protection, do not cash
checks for anyone except persons
they are well acquainted with.
