He Tried To Cheat The Clerk

County Clerk Brown is not a good Derson to tackle if you have any cheme for defrauding. The way ie brought to time the Ypsilanti man, who tried to get the best of lim, yet lives in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Another man ried to get the best of him on November 9 of last year. He was an elderly man of respectable appearance who claimed to be deputy county clerk at Rockville, 111. He was out of funds but had a check, which as no one knew him he did not want to ask anyone to endorse. 3e wished to borrow $8 to be returned as soon as he got to Chicago, where he could get his check cashed. He was thoroughly familiar with the abstract business and got the $8. As time rolled on it dawned on Brown that he had been duped. He procured a warrant and waited :or his man. He was finally located in a neighboring city where he had secured a position at $ioo a month. Deputy Sheriff Peterson brought tiim to this city yesterday, and with tears in his eyes and many protestations of penitence he paid up. On accouut of his family and in response to the importunities of his employers who claim he was a val uable man and was living an honest life, he was released and his name withheld from public print.
