to tho effect thut Jack Kerfoss and

to recovery. The two men' were
taken In charge by tho county when
It uppenrod they wero unablo to

"If I ever saw two men who were
fatally ill, those two wore." Dr.
Newsom commented this morning.
"Tako Kerfoss for example. With

Tho usual quota of bad checks Is
being received by tie tax collecting

through the negligence of the prop
erty owner, who shortly after send

transfers his, account to another
bank, tax collectors said. In order
to keep the county books straight'
the county has instituted a fund
which refunds tho amount of the
bad check to tho tax collecting de
partment. It has proved Imprac

tho amounts of bad checks.
Tho property owner whose check
