Oct. 8th 1916, and was paid by said bank on Oct. 12th, 1916, the\r\ncheck being for $10.00.\r\n\u00a0\u00a0 The warrent was sworn out by Riley JESTES who denied writing the check; and\r\ncharging said BARDILL with forging his name and getting the money on it.\r\n\u00a0 Since a Justice of the Peace tries such cases on the probable cause of guilt and not upon\r\nthe reasonable doubt, the defendant was bound over to court, in $1,000 bonds which he\r\nmade and returned to his home that evening.\r\n\r\nDecember, 14, 1916\r\n<\/span><\/b>\u00a0 During the sitting of the Grand Jury this week the case of Ernest BARDILL, which was\r\na bound over case from Squire SCHUBERT\u2019S court held Oct. 23, in which Mr.\r\nBARDILL was held for appearance at this term of court on a charge of passing a bogus\r\ncheck upon the bank at Oakdale.\u00a0 The grand Jury, after examing the witnesses decided\r\nthat Mr. Bardill was not guilty and refused to indict him.\u00a0 He is a quiet and respectable\r\ncitizen of the Lone Mountain country.<\/span><\/pre>\n
