TWO COMPLAINTS OUT FOR KINNY

POLICE THINK PRISONER MAY BE WANTED ELSEWHERE

Reno, Nevada

Two complaints charging the passing of fictitious checks have been issued by Justice of the Peace Kirby Unsworth for W. Kenny, the man from Aberdeen, Washington, arrested in Reno.

T. J. Foxworthy is complaining witness in the case of a $15 check on the Chehalis County Bank of Aberdeen to Watson and Cane of the Sagebrush Cafe. Chief of Police Hillhouse is complaining witness in the case of a $10 check on the same bank to W. H. Wentworth of the Hague Cafe. Both checks were signed, "Pinnick & Kenny," the firm Kenny said was doing business as undertakers and that Aberdeen dispatches reported did not exist at all.

From statements in the telegram from the bank at Aberdeen, it is believed by the police that Kenny may be wanted elsewhere, it being reported that many such checks have been referred to the bank.
