Farm Hand Escapes After Cashing Two Forged Checks.

Walter Morris, 23 years of age, who worked for a short time for Fred Schultz, of Union township, is wanted for the alleged forgery of two checks, one on Fred A. Schultz for sl2 and one on B. D. Comer for $lO. The Schultz check was cashed at the store of William Traub and the other at the Main Garage. Both were cashed Saturday night, and Morris is supposed to have left town that night or the following day. The forgeries were not detected until the checks were sent to the First National Bank Monday. Morris’s home was at Elston, Tippecanoe county, to which place Sheriff McColly went Tuesday evening in an effort to arrest him but he shown up there. If found he will doubtless receive a reformatory sentence.
