Will Be Good For a While It begins to look like ome George W. Allen, former address Kentucky, and more recently in care of Mary Burke Cromwell, but now whereever Uncle Sam places those accused of misusing his mail will now be safely put away for a time at the expense of Uncle Sam, for George is said to have been buying merchandise through the mail and paying for it with checks of no material value.

- George has bDbeen a puzzle to county state and federal authorities for some time, and early last year was taken to Putnamville as a guest of the state for a short time for selling booze to minors. He must have worn out has welcome as a guest of the state for he returned to Noble county a short time ago, and immediately thereafter mail order houses again began. to receive orders from him accompanied by fradulent checks. Last Thursday afternoon Deputy United States Marshal Herman V. Atkins, on a warrant charging unlawful use of the United States mails inperpetration of a fraud arrested Allen and took him to Fort Wayne.—Albion Democrat., | ;
