One day the new business man sold sixty-seven barrels of tallow to the representative of an | eastern house. It was a puzzle where | he got so much tallow in this place, | but he sold the goods and got a New York draft for $2,160. Because he in- sisted upon cash, instead of depositing the draft, as usual, the bank got sus- picious and refused to cash the draft. Clark disappeared, tried to cash the check in Chicago, where it was taken | up, and all but three of the barrels | here, upon inspection, were found to | !contain water. No one here lost any- | thing, as Clark was careful to meet all | local obligations promptly by checks, which were good at his bank. Clark is out his expenses while here, and can- not be found.
