DAY G0HE8 TO GRIEF Is Taken "in by Chief of Police at Deadwood. HE' HAS MANY NAMES Confidence Man Who Prospered in O’Neill Tries it in the Hills and is Now in Jail. “George M. Day,” who played three young and tender men of O’Neill for suckers a couple of weeks ago, has reached the end of his string at Dead wood. A special from there Saturday says: “Chcif of Police Grimshaw arrested a man last night by the name of Charles J. Braun trom Perry, Io He is charged with haying obtained money under false pretenses. Braun entered the First National bank and made a draft on the First National bank, of Perry, Io., for 9290. The cashier was asked to advance him S50 until his draft could be heard from, which was done In a short time a note came from the bank of Perry, saying that Braun was not known there. It has been ascertained that he made drafts on the banks at Perry, at O’Neill and at Ohadron, giving different names. * The drafts at each place called for the same sum as that made at the Deadwood bank. It is believed that the man is de ranged." Authorities at O’Neill were on the lookout for “Day” who is the same man as above called Braun, and County At torney Mullen received a letter from the cheif of police of Deadwood staling sub stantially the facts as above with the additional information tpat tl>e wqtcb wbic,h had been secured of pn P/Neill jeweler had beep payyned by the mpn pf flftapy pauses apd awaited tedpuipilon pn the payment of $5- The Jeweler here has sept for the watch- *' The Sioux City Times says his. true name is Dora pirown and that he once worked in the Horse shoe restaurant at .that city. , The Chief-Reporter of Perry, Io., also contributes this information, which would indicate that the fellow is not so . much insane as the Deadwood people think: “It is quite evident that Dora Brown is bound to break into the penitentiary again. Recently at O’Neill, Net.,“-'a mau called at the bank' ’there and wt-o^e i&ttdrs to J. P.attee, president of the i&^Bt Fatiopal bank, of this city, and to Q. F, Roddon, signing himaelt “Geo, M. Day.” Later on he drew a sight draft on the First National for $250, but it was not cashed aud the bank here wired about it, and of course they didn’t know any such man. It seems that he put up suoh a strong talk that they took the draft for collection, but he later disappeared. A letter from the bank describing the “Geo. M. Day” fits Dora Brown exactly. Ad he failed to secure anything, no attempt whs rdade to arrest-him.’’ . • » • J 1 County Attorney Mullleu says he will be Held at Deadwood 'pending a hearing Before a court. ; * '■ ! • t Marriage licenses’ have been issued by Judge Selah : since buV last issub' to Jbhn Farner and Kathyrorf E Neiter (ft Atkinson, and Robert 0.

The midnight marauders, the party says to whom Mr. Foreman told his story, got but a part of his wealth as he gave them such a warm reception that they thought best to desist with a dollar apiece.
