ARRESTED ON FORGERY CHARGE

Monticello Journal: Homer E. Smith of Brookston was arrested yesterday on an affidavit filed by James Collins of Idaville, alleging forgery. He was brought here yesterday evening where he gave bond for his appearance in court, John J. Nagle being his bondsman. The trouble grows out of an insurance transaction in which Mr. Smith figured as an agent. He claims that the note was given in payment for a policy premium and he sold it to a bank in Idaville. Mr. Collins claims the note was a forgery. The merits of his case will come out in the trial. Mr. Smith has retained Geo. W. Kassabaum as his atttorney.
