Jumped His Board Bill

Jumped his board bill

Young man tried to beat the Cook house.

Aut Clerk Starkweather got on his track and he was nipped in Detroit.

A. Harris is the name of a dapper young man who registered at the Cook house last Thursday. Sunday he disappeared without having displayed the color of money for value received. 

By chance yesterday, a traveling man engaged Clerk Starkweather in a conversation and in the midst of their talk the drummer remarked that the students were on a vacation. Mr. Starkweather said he was mistaken. The drummer said it was queer, but he rode into Detroit with a young fellow who said he was attending college here and that he was no going to enjoy a two weeks' Thanksgiving vacation. He described his companion, and the clerk of the Cook house immediately sized the fellow up as being this same man Harris. 

"Did he say where he was going?" inquired Mr. Starkweather.

"Yes, he told me he was going to put up at the Russel house."

The clerk telephoned down to Detroit and Harris was nipped.

It was not yet been decided just what will be done with him, but he will be exposed so that hotel beats can't run away with the idea that the Cook house, Ann Arbor, is an easy mark.
