Dr. s. Sydney Walker, Jr., Ready to “Come Across.”

Dr. S. Sydney Walker, Jr., the Chicago man for whom Dan Waymire has been looking the past two or three weeks, seems a bit remorseful for his actions here and now is trying to square things. Dr. Walker, it will be remembered, is the man who purchased some automobile tires of Dan Waymire, proprietor of the Rensselaer Garage, and paid for them with a check on a Chicago bank. His check and credit was good with the bank, but for some unexplainable reason he did not care to have the money drawn from his account and so stopped payment on the checks. Mr. Waymire received a letter Wednesday morning from Dr. Walker, enclosed with which was a check for something over $76, the amount of the purchase made of Mr. Waymirehere. The doctor volunteerd no explanation in ‘his letter regarding his action, but simply instructed Dan to send a receipt by first mail. This Dan did not do. Instead, he presented the check for payment at the Chicago bank. The check came back unpaid. If is presumed that the doctor stopped payment again. To protect himself and at tihe same time bring the matter to an end, Dan sent a receipt to the Chicago bank through the State bank here, and at the same time presented a sight draft. So far, nothing has materialized through the last move, but there is little doubt now that Mr. Waymire will receive his money. While in Chicago the fore part of the week Delos Thompson made inquiries at the Continental and Commercial National bank, on which the checks were made, regarding the standing and character of Dr. Walker. It was learned that he is administrator of an estate and that, for some reason, his account could not be drawn on without first giving a receipt. Dr. Walker, it was learned, was uneasy over the matter, and is anxious to make settlement.
