Shegglcy, a horse buyer from Burr Oak, Kas., was in this vicinity and purchased a mule from Mr. Baker of Rivcrton, giving his check for the amount of purchase. Tho check not being exactly satisfac tory to Baker, Sheggloy issued another and placed the refused piece of paper in his pocket, which at a later time he lost, later coming into tho possession of one Mr. Bourne, a member of a theatrical troupe. In duo time it was presented by this gentleman for pay ment at a local bank, but having no satisfactory identification the bank refused to pay its face value, but took it for collection, sending it to the Bun Oak bank and had tho money for warded to Boumo at Guide Rock. Boumo claims that tho check was given him in payment of a debt owed to him by ono Cnarlon Jones. Boumo was taken into custody and brought to this city, but owing to lack of ovi denco no conviction was made and it is surmised that he had made good the amount to Sheggly, who did not ap pcur against him.
