CHECKS WERE WORTHLESS Bemidji-Cigarmaker Departs From , City, Leaving Debts Behind. WROTE CHECKS BUT BANKS REFUSED TO HONOR THEM. Owed Lakeshore Hotel $140— Will Be Brought Back to Be- midji For Trial. D. J. Hiler, who has conducted a cigar shop on Beltrami avenue for some time past, last night left Bemidji for parts unknown, leaving behind him a number of debts contracted while engaged in cigar manufacturing business. Among the accounts which it is claimed he owes is one of $140 at the Lakeshore hotel, the bill being for board and also money which the proprietor, James Burns, loaned to him. Hiler has been in financial straits for some time past, but has been considered a young man of* respectable habits and his creditors did not push him. Sev- eral weeks ago, however, he wrote a check in favor of Bar- ker’s Drug store and presented it to the manager, A. B. Flatner, who cashed it. It was for $15 and when it taken to the bank Mr. Flatner was informed - that Hiler_had no account there and never had one. He was success ful, however, in getting the money back from Hiler and took no action to prosecute him. An- other check, however, which has not been squared up is held by Fleming & Downs, the amount being $10. Mr. Burns is very angry over the affair and stated to the Pio- neer this afternoon tnat he would swear out a complaint against Hiler for “jumping” his board bill and that he would attempt to bring him back to Bemidji for. trial.
