Jasper County Democrat, Volume 9, Number 5, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 May 1906 — WAS CAUGHT ON A DONAHUE DRAFT. [ARTICLE]

WAS CAUGHT ON A DONAHUE DRAFT.

It developed at the trial of Madam Brown Donahue last week that Geo. Strickfaden was holding the sack for some $25 on a bad draft drawn by Mrs. Donahue’s husband, W, B. Donahue, on a North Dakota bank, and which “Strick” had endorsed for him. The draft came back to Strick but for some reason Donahne was not prosecuted. It will be remembered that Donahue was arrested here some time last summer for passing a worthless draft or check on someone up in Pulaski county, but Mrs. Brown came to his rescue and paid the amount and he was ordered released from jail without being prosecuted.
