He Got the Money
A short time ago C. M. Shegglcy, a
horse buyer from Burr Oak, Kas., was
in this vicinity and purchased a mule
from Mr. Baker of Rivcrton, giving
his check for the amount of purchase.
Tho check not being exactly satisfac
tory to Baker, Sheggloy issued another
and placed the refused piece of paper
in his pocket, which at a later time he
lost, later coming into tho possession
of one Mr. Bourne, a member of a
theatrical troupe. In duo time it was
presented by this gentleman for pay
ment at a local bank, but having no
satisfactory identification the bank
refused to pay its face value, but took
it for collection, sending it to the Bun
Oak bank and had tho money for
warded to Boumo at Guide Rock.
Boumo claims that tho check was
given him in payment of a debt owed
to him by ono Cnarlon Jones. Boumo
was taken into custody and brought
to this city, but owing to lack of ovi
denco no conviction was made and it
is surmised that he had made good the
amount to Sheggly, who did not ap
pcur against him.

Wednesday October 10th
"Dora Thorne," Hllllnrd Wight's
humorous piny which will introduce
himself and Miss Amber Wight to the
public nt the Orpheum Theatre on next
Wednesday has been conceived in the
happicat vein of comedy; the drama

those wholesome characters that are
typically Auiorican, and yet national,
in thot, word and deed, and In whom
tho great national spirit is paramount
above all olsu. The character has been
placed as a native of tho world, rather
than any special locality, ami surround
ed on every hand with the roaiantio
settiugs, a contrast that lends added
charm to overy theme of the play high
ly humorous, strongly dramantlc and
Intensely gripping.

ing for a visit nt his old home, near
Salem, Wisconsin.
Mr. aud Mrs. J. L. Kaloy of Omaha
arrived in the olty tho city the last of
