There Is growing belief here that the

An umatcurlsn utlempt at check
forging occurred here this afternoon,
wlth the result that the would-be
swindler, who says his name Is Tipton,
landed In the toils forthwith.
Shortly nfter noon today a young
man entered the Boston Store, saying
that he wanted to buy a suit of
clothes, some shoes, a hat and other
wearing apparel. He was waited on
by Frank J. Macy, and when ho had
been equipped presented a check for
$92.75 In payment. The check was
on the Snvlngs bank in fuvor of All
Smiley, and was signed with the
name of A. D. Sloan. Tho check was
taken to the office of the store by Mr.
Macy, and there given to Mr. Roose
velt, who said he would tako it to the
hank for verification while the young
customer was entertained by Mr.
Macey.
When the check was presented at
viie bank it was held by Assistant
Cashier J. W. Mnloncy to be a forgery,
for it was noted that the writing of
the check and the endorsement were
In the same handwriting.
Thereupon Mr. Roosevelt sought the
assistance of Constable J. M. Bcntley,
and accompanied by that officer, he
went to the store and asked the boy
to go with him to the bank for Iden

first, but finally consented. Tho two
