Sheridan forgery arrest follows intoxicated man found in jail
Fred Levi a young man dying near Sheridan was arrested Saturday by Sheriff Randall on a forgery charge. Levi brought a forged O H Stoops check for 17 dollars at the First National State Bank Sheridan and was jailed after his companions sought lodging for him. A separate case involved a Johnson check using the same Stoops name to buy clothes. The tale ties into a local Europe tour contest supporting Miss Cliffe B Manlove of Indianapolis. Fire destroyed the Shoemaker home near Sharpsville with $1000 in losses, no insurance, and a seven room building. The origin remains unknown.
