Young Man Is Haled Before Canon

His Game Once Too Often and Is
Nabbed by Bootblack, Who Caught
On.
Norman R. Grnnfhnin, carrying a
cardcasc announcing that ho is mak
ing his way from New York across
the continent and back on a $5000
wager without a dollor to start with,
came to a stop in Medford Friday,
the reason therefor being that he
used another man's name in vain,
the same hying that of Charles
Brown of Eagle Point, nnd the man
ner thereof,: a .forged check, or
rather, two of them.
Grantham passed through Medford
March 12, this year, on his long
hike, which was supposed to termin
nte 4n August, nndcarries in his
notebook a clipping from tho Mail
Tribune to that effect.
However, he evidently missed tho
trail and has been in the valley for
n couple of weeks or more.
Friday he came to Medford and
purchased goods from the II. C.
Kentner Co., tendering a check on
the Medford National Bank, osten
sibly signed by Charles Brown, and
indorsed it "Ilnrry Stringer." Tho
check was for $21.55 and Grantham
received several dollars in change.
At the Wnrdrobe, on the west side,
ho presented n check on the snmo
party, indorsed John F. Martin, for
$27.50, nnd after his purchases had
been deducted thero was $0.50 in
cash to the good.
As it happens, William Brown, or
'Buster," ns ho is hotter known, who
conducts tho shoo shining department
nt Ireland & Antlo's Smokehouse,
happened to bo in tho storo when
tho purchase was made and noticed
the man particularly.
As soon as tho checks wero pre
sented nt tho bank thoy wero refus
ed nnd tho polico commenced looking
for tho culprit.
Friday evening Grantham entered
Ireland & Antlo's storo nnd asked
for chango for a $10 check. "Bus
ter" was shining a pair of shoes,
but as soon ns ho saw tho man ho
dropped his brushes and bout it for
tho back door. Meeting Policeman
Kinenid on the street he told him
where ho could catch tho forger, and
Kinenid caught him as ho was walk
ing leisurely down tho streot, nfter
having failed to work the Smoke
house for tho $10. As n conse
quence, "Bustor" is $10 richer now,
