1948: Two magazine salesmen, arrested following a complaint from a Melrose woman, had been freed due to lack of evidence.
The woman told police she had subscribed to a magazine and written a check for $3. But she later learned the check had been "kited" to $13 and notified authorities.
Charges were dropped after the check was lost, the Clovis News-Journal reported.
