NEWTON COUNTY MAN SETTLED

For Issuing a Bad Check to a Rensselaer Restaurant Firm. , A warrant was * issued in Squire Irwiji’s court Thursday for a young man** of near Brook, but who at the present time is working near Morocco. The young man had given a check to Wallace & Murphy of this city for 310 on July 3, on the Bank of Brook, £pd the bank reported back “no funds.”. Wallace & Murphy wrote him three let ters, trying to get him to come across with the money, and Sheriff Woodworth also wrote one letter to him, but he never deigned to reply. He evidently has considerable to learn, as it is a jailable offense to give checks where the money is not in bank to meet them. He is alleged to have given a check some time ago to William Was-_ son of Brook, formerly of Rensselaer, for $67, which was also turned down by the bank. Mr. Wasson went out with a constable and saw him and got the latter to hustle around and pay the amount rather than face prosecution. Later —Constable Harve Moore went over yesterday morning after the young man, but he then wanted to settle, and paid the amount of the check, together with all costs, amounting to |26, and the matter was dropped.
