SAID TO BE POKER GAME IN REMINGTON

Goodland Man Who Cashed Check Without Funds Arrested and Bound Over to Circuit Court. Mike Bolen, of Goodland, was brought before Squire W. I. Spitler Tuesday evening on a charge of having given a check to C. E. Raines, of Remington, for 50 drawn on the First National Bank of Goodland, in which he had no funds. Polen did npt testify in his own behalf and was bound over to th£ circuit court in the sum of S3OO. His attorney, A. Halleck, signed his bond adn he was released. Prosecutor 'Sands appeared for the state. Polen had been placed under arrest by Constable J. W. Childers, of this city. It was rumored that after Polen had cashed the check which he drew in favor of Mr. Raines, the poultry dealer, he entered a poker game at Remington and lost the money. The check went through the bank and came back marked “no funds.” Bolen was standing at the hotel comer waiting for the Remington bus this Wednesday morning when George Peck, who was driving a fine 3-year-old colt was driving by. Just as the colt stepped on* the briek street he fell and when he raised up the harness was badly tangled and the animal was disposed for a time to run or kick. Polen rushed to the street and caught the animal by the bit and he was soon quieted, but while he was working with the horse the Remington bus passed by him and he did not see it. He hurriedly called Ed Duvall's jitney bus and raced after the regualr Remington hack, catching it a short distance out of town. . Prosecutor Sands hopes to induce Piolen to tell all about the poker game so that he can procure evidence to go after the other players in the game.
