A young man giving his name

ing day for Sheriff Lawrence of

and took him home. The party
answers thc description of one
Williams , who swindled a number -
bcr of Auburn people a couple of
weeks since on a fake library
scheme Hc will bc made to
answer thc charge of obtaining
money under false prctcnscs.
Chamberlain arrived here Sunday
and put up at thc Central hotel
until forced to leave for nonpay-
mcnt of dues , and seemed to bc
in hard luck. lie is also wanted
at Shubcrt for a small board bill
and at Stella for a printing bill
but it seems hc has not lone
much work in this section for thc
library which hc claims to rep-
resent whcn at Auburn. His plan
there was to sell an outfit of
books for library purpos s , pock-
cting thc advance fcc and failing
to deliver thc bool.s. Williams
finally confesses to complicity in

the frauds.-Humboldt Lca cr.
