IMPORTANT CASE DECIDED IN COURT Gary Man Fined SIOO For Issuing Check With No Funds In Bank To Meet Payment, NEW LAW STRICT ON THIS POINT Those Who Make a Practice of Issuing Checks With Advanced Date Must “Look a Little Out.” Crown Point Star. A case of more than ordinary interest to bankers and merchants was tried in the circuit court here last Thursday, it being the case of the State vs Jos. Grieger, a Gary con* tractor, in which the defendant was being tried for a charge of having issued a check to a Schererville man in payment of a bill without having sufficient funds in the bank to pay the check in full on its presentation. The evidence disclosed that the check was issued on the 12th of September and dated September 15th and is what ’s known as a past dated, check. The theory of the defense was that there could be no conviction for issuing a past dated check. Judge McMahan ruled otherwise, and instructed the jury that under the law as it now stands, it is a criminal offense for anyone to issue a check in payment of any debt or obligation where the drawer of such check has not sufficient funds or credit with the bank to pay the check in full on its presentation and the fact that the check is dated on a day later than its delivery makes no difference. This prosecution was based on an act of tfhe legislature passed in 1911 W'hich reads as follows: “Who in the payment of any obligation, shall make, draw, utter or deliver any cheeky or order for payment of mony upon any bank, knowing at the time of such making, drawing, uttering or delivering that the maker or drawer has not sufficient funds in or credit with such bank for the payment of such chock or order in full upon its presentation, shall be fined not less than SIOO nor more than $5,000, to which may be added imprisonment in the state prison, not less than one year nor more than five years.” Before this act was passed one could go to a store and buy a bill of goods and give his check dated a few days later, take; the goods home with him, and there being no money in the bank to meet the check upon presentation to the bank on which it was drawn, it would be returned to Mr. Merchant unpaid and he would be out the amount of the bill. According to the ruling of the court in the Greiger case, it is up to the man who issues a check to see that he has sufficient funds in the bank to take up his checks, otherwise he is liable to a fine of from SIOO to $5,000, and imprisonment in the state penitentiary from one to fourteen years. Greiger was found guilty and fined SIOO and costs. This is the second conviction in the circuit court within the last few months. It is said that there are a number of men from Gary and vicinity who make it a business to go out in- the country sections of Lake county and buy produce from country stores and give future dated checks in payment, when they have no funds in the banks. It seems that nothing sliort of the state’s prison will stop the practice. It is said ' that several merchants in Crown Point have .been tfhe victims of these sharks and they have already placed their cases in the hands of the prosecuting attorney and several more arrests are likely to follow very soon. D. DeYoung and wife, of Newland, received a telegram today announcing the very serious illness f the if daughter at Racine, Wis. They left for her bedside on the afternoon train. Ben Smith went to Rockville, Ind., today and will return with his nephew, Floyd Smith, who has been in the sanitarium at that place.. Floyd has received n<r benefit from the treatment there.

Washington Highway Official Makes Visit to Mt. Ayr. Mt. Ayr Tribune. Driving into Mt. Ayr with a little span of mules a decrepit wagon, Col. Charles W. Thaitcher, engineer an 1 official representative of the Washington Highway association, arrived in this town Tuesday and stopped at Lee’s general store to warm. He had taken dinner with Geo. Handley, northwest of town. His appearance in town created considerable excitement, and the boys crowded around his odd little old wagon to inspect the curios with which it abounded. Across the top of* the wagon in flaming letters he carried a banner which read “The Last of the G. O. P.” This he was carrying in its conspicuous position to pay an election bet It was truly an odd looking outfit with a comical looking burro er, whose appearance belies his position, is on his way to Evansville and southern points. He will address a number of civic organizations in the larger cities enroute. His first trip was made 13 years ago, and for the last 11 #e£rs he has driven the same mules over the Washington route. He was in Wyoming a few weeks ago and the state legislature, after Colonel Thatcher had addressed a committee* trotting along behind. This the colonel informed us, he had picked up down in New Mexico. Colonel Thatchgranted an appropriation of $33,000 for the improvement of the highway through the state. “I have been traveling over the route for 13 years,” Colonel Thatcher said, “and during that time I „have used an automobile on only one occasion. It was the last time, however, for I can travel in greater comfort and convenience with my mules. . I am endeavoring to obtain appropriations in the states through which the highway is routed , for the improvement of the roads, and thus far I have been highly successful. 1 “We are bringing our route through the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park, and the government at that point is paving the highway so that shortly it will be the best and most accessible entrance. I do not believe it will be many years before the highway is paved from New York Colonel Thatcher did not speak in Mt. Ayr, stopping only for a short rest. He has addressed a-number of Rotary clubs along his route and is billed to speak at Terre Haute as soon as he can reach there. His addresses, he informed us, were all made in the larger towns. The Colonel was certainly an interesting character to talk with and evidenced air , understanding of highways far beyond the average individual. He reminded us that the greater Chicago papers have had much to say of him, and in the past eight years the Indianapolis [News had twice used a big 8 -column cut of his outfit together with a full his
