CHECK FORGE CAUGHT TRYING TO LENE GITY Frank B. Shaner Appre- hended at Depot to Board Train. Frank B. Shaner was errested on a charge of forgery by the police shortly after 8:30 o’clock last night just as he was attempting to board the Burlington train. Shaner had passed one check amounting to about $80 on Simpson's Clothing store on West First street. early that evening and had later attempt- e€ to pass a check for $83 on Harry ‘Yesness. ‘The checks had been printed by the Robert Brothers Construction company at Ilco, and are alleged to have been stolen from the office of the firm. Several more checks of the same nature but not yet filled out were found in: Shaner’s room when the police made an examina- tion of It. Some of the checks had been torn up. Others had been practiced on, Apparently Shaner had invested tn some tools since a bottle of ink from which only smail amount had been used and several pens were found in the room. When Robert Brothers found that several of their blank checks were missing they notified the police here to the effect who in turn passed the ‘word around to the merchants of the city to be on the lookout for the checks. Mr. Simpson had not learned of the deal and when the check was presented to him he cashed it, giving Shaner about $60 in cash and the remainder in shoes and other cloth- ing purchased. When the second check was pre- mented to Harry Yesness he made the plea that the cashier was out and requested Shaney to return a ttle later. Meanwhile he notified the police. Shaner did not return but was nabbed at the railway sta- tion. The clothing ne had bought at Simpson’s store and the cash money he had received were among his effects. Shaner up until a few days ago was employed by the Robert Brothers Construction company. towns between Cheyenne and Den- ver which have not been mentioned.
