private conversation mere sat wittt mm

In this way his bank ' book was in
the hands of the detectives. He never
had an account in the Merchants bank,
according to its officers. ,
Though Adams has been, operating
in Portland for a month the matter was
fnot placed before the detectives until
mis. week. Detective Price notified
every gun store In the city to b on the
lookout for a man of Adam's descrip

was informed by H. Beal that Adams
had been in his store but a few mo
ments before, trying to pass a check
on the Merchants bank.
Price saw a man wh,o answered tha
descriptioa going into Olds, Wortman
