Jim Rogers in
Trouble Again
Jim Kojrers is attain in troub'e,
He was out of jail about a week on
thirty-day sentence from Madras
on a charge of larceny when he
again strayed from the narrow
path by signing the name of Dick
Shriver to a First National Hank
check and had it cashed by Frank
Brosius. This was about two
weeks ago. Brosius laid the matter
before Sheriff Balfour and that of
ficer telephoned in different direc
tions to head him off. The sheriff
of Wasco picked up the fugitive at
The Dalles Tuesday and today
Sheriff Balfour started for the
Wasco county seat to get his
prisoner.
Rogers made a clumsy attempt at
forgery. He got a job at the Fair
view Stock Farm when he got out
of jail after serving his larceny
sentence. He had worked for Mr.
Shriver for about a week when he
conceived the check idea. The eon
ception was a bad one. Mr.
Shriver's initials are R. H. and he
does not use the nickname when
signing checks. Furthermore, he
did not have an account at the First
National. Rogers will be a wiser
man when he gets through with the
October term of the circuit court.
