NORFOLK WILL BE PROTECTED
MORE THAN USUAL.
OFFICERS HAVE "GOOD" CATCH.
The Fact That a Plalnvlew Man Was
Robbed In Fremont and a Boy Here
Later Looks Like Work of Same
Gann Had Many Checks In Pocket
The police force of Norfolk IWH
been Increased , on account of the
largo number of simpldoiiH charac
ters who are passing every day
through this city oiiroulo to Bone-
steel and the Rosebud lands.
The smooth swindle which was ef
fected on a Northwestern train hero
yesterday afternoon upon an Albion
boy , following closely upon the pick
pockets at Fremont who took money
and tickets from Mr. Carroll , of Plain-
view , makes the police think that
they may have something of a much
desired crook In the person of Chas.
A. Fisher.
Fisher claims to come from Wichi
ta , Kaunas , and says his wife Is In
Chicago. When arrested and lined
he wired to A. U. Smith , of Jefferson ,
Kan. , for financial assistance. Fish
er's partner in the confidence game
got away.
When searched the fellow had a
check drawn for $500 on a bank In
Seattle , and another , for $500 on n
bank In Kansas City , both signed
"J. J. Roberts. ' Besides these ho
had dozens of blank checks and cus
tomer's drafts which were taken from
banks all over America. Chief Kane
believes that bo has a mini who IH
wanted In many places. The line was
$25 , on the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses.
The si roots of Norfolk are filled
with bad looking faces and the extra
force of ofllcors will probably bo kept
busy for the next two months.
