Jack Stagg and Theodore Hatch of Stagg Plumbing and Appliance Company, are out $160 'because they cased a check wMch turned out to be no good. A man, calling himself Reverend Emmanuel Evans, and claiming to be head of the Baptist Mission Society in Artesia, came into the store the other day and purchased a range and a refrigerator costing $540, which would be picked up later. In payment for the merchandise he handed Mr. Stagg a certified check for $700 drawn on the Bank of America. Mr. Stagg accepted the check, made the change of $160 and the "reverend" went on his way. A long, long, way. When word came from that the check was a fraudulent one, and that the certification was forged with a fictitious name, Mr. Stagg swore out a warrant for the arrest of Emmanuel Evans and turned the case over to the sheriff. Mr. Evans had left the country. Sometime later Sheriff Herb Snyder received word from the Montana State Police that a man, whom the sheriff is satisfied to be Evans, was arrested in Dillon, Montana, on a similar charge and sent to the Montana State Penitentiary for a period of 6 years. When the term is over Evans will 'be turned over to Utah if she still wants him, but in any event, Mr. Stagg and Mr. aemcone check, to long-lastin- !

This item appeared in the Springville Herald a couple of weeks ago, and I pass It on for the value it might be to all of us. HERE IS THE STORY Some people work very diligently at proving Barnum was right when he intimated that a sucker was born every minute. It came to photolight last week that a grapher set up operations at the Steel City motel and engaged in the business of collecting money for several days. When the law enforcement officers learned of the business they pressed for collection of the license. This put the wary character to flight beyond the state borders.
