Old Vincennes, Prisoner of Zenda, David Harum, The Spenders Meek Now in Jail W. C. Meok. n man who has made North Platte his home for somo time, was arrested in Custer county Inst week taken to Grand Island Friday nnd turned over to Sheriff Mlltonbergcr of this county nnd is now in jail awaiting a preliminary hearing on tho charge of obtaining money undor falsa pretenses. Six weeks ago Meek, who was doing business as an insurance agent, hired a team for ten days at the Bowcn Hvery stable, fer the stated purposo of going into the country to solicit insuranco. Nothing was loarncd of him at tho ex plriation of ten days and Mr. Boweu became uneasy. Shortly thoraafter he informod Sheriff Mlltonbergcr of the occurrence and nn effort was made to locate Meek, and it was finally learned that he had been seen with relatives in Custor county. About a wool; ago it was further learned that Meok had been arrested by the Statu Bank of Oconto on tho charge of obtaining money undor false pretenses, having given the ba nk a check on one of the banks of North Platte when ho hnd no money on deposit. In order to square up with the Oconto bank, M!ek mort gaged the Bowen team. Following this transaction, which was learned by Mlltonbergcr, the latter caused tho ar rest of Meek, and Bowcn immediately startSH for Oconto to get his team, which he secured, and Miltonbcrgor went to Grand Island and got his man. Meoks record, according to reports, is not very good. It is said he has solicited insurnnce, received the pre miums but failed to send tho money to tho company or roport the policies. It is also said that he gavo Gilbert, a har bor of this city, a check for $5.00 on a bank In which ho did not have, any money on deposit.
