MAY PROVE INTERESTING.

A few days ago an agent for a supply house presented a due bill to one of the new township trustees of one of the north townships of Jasper county for quite a sum of money, the due bill having been issued to the supply man by the former trustee. Unthinkingly, he gave his check for the amount, but later came to town and on advice of bis attorneys stopped payment on the check and will now let the supply bouse sue the claim if they desire, when some interesting developments may occur. It is said that the old trustee, who during his term bought “supplies” running up in the thousands, from supply houses, and run bis township badly in debt, was credited SIOO on this bill when the order was given.
