" GEO. M. 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

A holdup occurred Ute last Friday
night on Douglas street west of Hotel
Evans. Three men halted a man bv
the name of Foreman and relieved him
of §8 in money. Foreman Is a stranger
in these parts and hence cannot identify
the parties that robbed him. He came
here from Neligh some months ago and
has been selling spectacles in the city
and country and seems to be an inoffen
sive person. As Foreman tells it the
three men set upon him in the darkness
of night as he was directing his steps|to
his lodgings and demanded valuables,
but that he did not yield without a
struggle and carries several bruises on
his faoe in testation of the combat. 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.
