 Ft. Worth Gazette May 16, 1891 SOME CHECK IRREGULARITIES Special to the Gazette Denison, Tex., May 15 - Mr. Lige Chiles, one of the oldest and best known citizens of this section, was under arrest in the city today, having been brought here from his farm in the Indian Territory. The case is a peculiar one. Some time ago Mr. Chiles obtained about $500 on checks, to which he states his authority to sign his brother's name, who resides near Pottsboro, and who deposits money in the Sherman banks. Henry Chiles would not recognize the validity of the checks and was sued by the City bank of Sherman to recover the sum involved in checks. The bank loosing the case, however, the last grand jury found 4 indictments against Mr. Lige Chiles, and this is how the matter now stands. Mr. Chiles has always stood very high in this section, and will no doubt settle the matter satisfactorily to all concerned.
