a Land Boomer Jailed.


y c. NJ. Dittman, who has been big land
and lot boomer at ST. taulfor some months,
with but little capital, was jailed on the
18th inst, on the charge of forgery. The
arrest was made upon warrant which was
sworn out in the municipal court by
GEORGE Barharas, cashier Of the Nation a!
Bank OF Hastings. The complaint sets forth
that ''the accused did feloniously utter and
publish as true, and upon one E. a. Whit
ford, a certain false and forged promisso1y
note, he, the said Dittman, and forged with
the intent to cheat a 1efraud."
Whitford is the assistant cashier of the
bank of Hastings. It is understood that
there had been other forgerles, amounting
to $50, 900, committed by DiJtman, part
of which were If Lane K. Stones name.
It has for some time past been we'll known
that Dittman is deeply involved, and it will
be remem bered that few weeks ego state
ment concerning his affairs; in which be
claimed that he had satisfied all his eredi-
tors, and that he could have something lett
over for himself after making settlement
with them. Then came the report Of the
failure of the bank at Monticello. Along
during this time there were various ugly
rumors afloat concerning Mr.. Dittman s
business acts, and very greatly affecting his
character.
The local scribes who have been lauding
Dittman to the skies, are now writing him
down. Such is life among the boomers.
