Slicker hunted by fooled town in Batesville Arkansas
Sheriff Burton Arnold seeks a man identifying as B. R. Jackson who arrived with his wife and five children three weeks ago and vanished after a spree of bogus checks. He bought a farm, mortgaged cattle, traded a mortgaged tractor, and used hot checks for a car, TV, camera, and tarpaulin. The family reportedly left in a car while the man fled in a pickup. A separate note mentions efforts to recover gold lost with the General Grant on the Auckland Islands in 1886.
