Neb. , a prominent physician and farmer , Is locked In the city jail on the charge of defrauding Joseph Hannah , of Hell- inghnm , Wash. , out of ROOO. The crime Is alleged to have been com mitted February V8 , 1903. It is alleged that nisbrow sold Han nah a third interest In a jag cure , which was worthless and known by him to bo such. The doctor was in custody of Depu ty Sheriff .1. L. I'arherry , of What- combe county , Wash. , who is now here , a year ago but managed to es cape being taken hack to Dcllingham by habeas corpus proceedings. The deputy , this time , came fully deter mined to kidnap him if necessary and hustle him across the line Into South Dakota to servo papers on him. Ho went to Crelghton for that pur pose last week , only to llnd that the doctor was out of town. Deputy Par- berry returned hero Saturday night and enlisting the services of Detec tives Follls and lllchnrd , discovered that his man bad registered at the Mondamln hotel Thursday night but had gone north. It was believed that ho would return hero and a close watch was set for him. Detectives Richard and Follls took turns shadowing the postotllco where it was believed Disbrow would come and this morning wore relieved by Olllcor .lesse James. Dlsbrow Mon day registered at the Mondamin , but did not occupy his room. About S:30 : .lames saw a slender , stoop shouldered man with a sandy beard approaching the building. lie instantly spotted him as Uisbrow and walking up placed his hand on the doctor's shoulder. Dlsbrow looked around in surprise. "You're wanted at headquarters. " said James and Dlsbrow protesting slightly , wont along. At the station he was met by Dep uty Sheriff I'arberry , with whom be was acquainted owing to the fight a year ago. "What arc you trying to do ? " do- maiided the doctor , when his eyes mot the olllcor's , "are you after me on that same charge ? " "That's right , Dr. Dlsbrow , " replied Deputy Pnrberry , producing the pa pers. pers.Dlsbrow Dlsbrow much disturbed surren dered his valuables , Including about $ " > in cash , a gold watch and other trinkets , and was locked in the wo men's ward upstairs. Sold Interest. According to Dishrow's story , and information secured elsewhere , he ap peared in Bellingham , Wash. , about a year ago last January. He put up at the hotel of Joseph A. Hannah , a well to do business man , and treated a case of alcoholism. The apparent success of the treatment attracted Hannah's attention , and he purchased an Interest in the secret formula , pay ing Disbrow ? 3,000 for it. Dr. Disbrow , Hannah claims , rent ed the first lloor and basement of a four-story brick block he owns and prepared to open a sanitarium for the treatment of unfortunates with the whisky and morphine habits. Short ly after Hannah had paid over the $3,000 in gold as his share of the business , he went to call on Dr. Dis brow , and the latter had gone se cretly from the hotel. He never saw him again until ho carne to Creighton , Nob. , and tried to got his money back. He failed and then , claiming the formula was worthless , he swore out a warrant for his arrest on the charge of fraud. Hefore the doctor left Hellingham , which is located in Watcom county , on Hollinghain bay , Hannah , it is claimed , had put up $3,000 and a lease of his hotel to a man named Sibeck , who is alleged to bo partner of Dls brow. Dlsbrow told Hannah after the latter had bought a third interest in the jag cure that Sibeck owned a third and by buying that ho would have a controlling Interest. This looked good to Hannah and ho bought out Sibeck , giving him furniture worth $3,000 and a lease on the hotel. Then came the awakening. Dr. Dlsbrow had departed. Gave Him a Laugh , Landlord Hannah was given the big laugh and his jag remedy became the joke of the town. Mr. Hannah got mad and How for Crelghton , Nob. , where ho tried to induce Dr. Disbrow to return him his money. The doctor maintained that the business deal was straight enough and produced a contract to show It. Then deputy Sheriff Parborry came with a war rant and requisition papers , but Dr. Dlsbrow's friends rallied around him nnd the olllcor and Mr. Hannah wore routed. Deputy Parborry returned to Hell- Ingliam determined to land the doc tor later. Ho dropped quietly out of Hollmgham about ten day * ago and no one there knew where ho went except the sheriff. He bore the nec essary papers to take Dr. Disbrow back to Holllnghnm. As soon as Dr. Disbrow was locked up he asked for an attorney and de clared ho would fight. Ho wanted his family and friends notified at Crelghton. Says Arrest Is Outrage. Dlsbrow Is 50 years old , well and modestly dressed In a gray business suit. He rose quickly nnd stroking his Handy beard streaked with grey walked forward and told his story willingly to a reporter. "This arrest Is an outrage , " began the doctor. "It's a put up Job.
