BAD CHECKS TAKEN
AT ANCHORAGE SALE.

In the last mail from the East, the
Receiver of the local land office, had
returned to him from the U. S. Treas- j
urer at Washington three checks
which were accepted in payment for
lots in the recent government auction
at Anchorage, with the statement that
these checks were not ‘'good,'* since
the maker's name did not appear on
any of the three. The total value of
the three checks amounts to $27.88.
Receiver Boyle stated that the
checks had been accepted by A Christ
enson, who co undue ted the sale, ami
that they had been checked up by a
clerk at Anchorage, as well as by
himself, and that after being brought
to Juneau were cashed by the banks
here. The deficiency in the signatures
was not detected until they reached
U. S. Treasury department at Wash
ington.—(Juneau Empire.)
