Jasper County Democrat, Volume 12, Number 25, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 June 1909 — HE PAID THE BOARD BTLL. [ARTICLE]

HE PAID THE BOARD BTLL.

A deputy sheriff from Hammond came down here last Friday on the lookout for a young man who had some time ago jumped a sls board bill at that place. He learned that the fellow was working for the telephone company at or near Remington, and was driven over there and saw him. The young man turned all colors of the rainbow when he saw the deputy, whom he knew by sight at least, and he soon raised $37.50, the amount the bill had grown to with costs, and handed it over, and the deputy went 'back smiling. The poor widow whom the man had attempted to defraud, the deputy said, had all • she could do to make both ends meet. The man had got behind in his board and told the woman he was going to Gary to secure employment, and would send her the money very shortly. Instead he came down here and secured employment and it was only by accident that his whereabouts were lately learned. It pays to be honest with boarding house keepers.
