Shield , the Medicine Man Re
ceives His Ring.
GAVE UP TWO FARMERS NOTES.
The Gem Was Left With a Norfolk
Bank for Security A Missouri Man
Thought It Was One Stolen' From
Him.
The handsome diamond ring , con-
talnlng n stone of especial purity and
brilliance , which has boon decorating
the linger of an ofllcor of the Citizens'
National bank and which was taken
from the swindler , Shields , as security
for his personal chock , has finally loft
Norfolk. Although there were two pa
pers of retention against It , the Httlo
ring rolled away and did not got Into
the hands of either of the farmers who
wanted It.
The reason why neither of the farm
ers who served notice against the gem
Is now wearing the band. Is that their
notes were sent back to thorn and they
are just $128 to the good , Instead.
Shields was a smooth medicine swin
dler who operated about Norfolk. He
took notes from farmers for high
amounts and never intended to send
| I the medicine. Ho was stopped at the
bank and-gavo this ring as security
on it personal chock. Meanwhile two
farmers who had boon taken In for
$03 and $ i'5 ! served papers against the
ring. Shields ordered It sent to Sioux
City. Then a telegram oamo from a
I town in Missouri. "Hold the din-
| I ' mend , " It road. "It was stolen from
mo. "
A letter later revealed the fact that
this was not the stolen diamond.
"Send ring to First National , Sioux
City , and notes will be returned , " said
the foxy follow and the ring was sent.
The two pieces of paper were sent
back and cancelled so that tliofarinors
