In Trouble Again. CHILLICOTHE, Feb. 1.—Coyner Blue, the Ross county man who was unfavor ably mixed up with the murder of Mrs. Kolb of Columbus and who a few days since was arrested here while on a drunk with a Columbus woman, comes before the public again in a more un favorable light than before. His latest escapade is that of raising funds on worthless checks, and he has only es caped arrest and prosecution thus far by the intervention of friends. Two weeks ago he met Frank Ober er, a harness maker, on the street and told him to send a couple of blankets valued at $5 to Gardner's livery stable, and charge to him. Oberer had had dealings with the man before and got his money, so he sent the blankets down as directed. A week later Blue called at Oberer’s and presented a check for $15 on the Frankfort bank. Oberer paid the difference in cash, but when he presented the check at the bank there were no funds and had not been any for six months. The matter was then placed in the hands of Consta ble Powland, who, before proceeding to extremes, communicated with Blue's father, who in turn notified his attor neys, and the matter was settled by Oberer getting his money and the costs being paid. On January 22 Blue called on O. J. Fuchs, the jeweler, and asked him to cash a check for #15 on the Frankfort bank. Fuchs accommodated him but the check proved worthless like that of Oberer. When Blue was arrested with the Fuller woman he put up a $120 dia mond ring with the police in lieu of $10 but never returned to redeem it. Fuchs knew of this and has secured himself by attaching the ring, which was in the possession of the mayor. Fuchs received an unsolicited letter from Blue, in which he virtually ac knowledged that he knew there were no funds in the bank when he gave the clock. Tie said he had been on a “toot” and was hard pressed for monkey.
