Forest City, Aug. 21.—M. H.
J, manager of llv.> hotel Mar
ion in this city, is out $100 and
is seeking one -Tames Peters,
who registered with him !.: t
Friday, and who is said to have
represented himself to be the
traveling represent a! iw uf the
Progress Distilling C a ; ay of
Louisville, Ky.
Peters carried what purportt ;
j to be a letter from Fie di.-nilh g
; company and exhibited it to Ms
' Ford. On the strengtli of in: •
; document Mr. Ford sa.ys he
leashed a draft on tlie distilling
company for $100, and .--on- •
; days later dir. Peter.-, \vh > v.
liere some time, disappear'd
Nothing was thought of Cm
j until today, when Mr Ford ro
| eeived the draft back from the
bank with notations th t it was
of no value, and ac lying
the draft came a letter from the
Progress Distilling Company to
the effect Fiat Peters does not
represent that company in any
capacity whatsoever and that if
; he presented a letter Of credit it
is not genuine.
Mr. Ford seeks Peters now to
bring him into court to show
why he should have represented
himself to be the agent of the
distilling company and declares
he will lodge charges against
him for obtaining money und, r
false pretenses.
The whereabouts of Peters
at this time is not known to the
people in this city and efforts
are being made to locate him.
Nothing was known of him until
he appeared here last Friday.
