About ten days ago there appeared
in Maiden Il man by the name Of +. L.

schemes on hand that would add mate

in our town. His conduct ut first did
not excite suspicion, and his projects
were not altogether irrational, but IN Il
few DAYS after his arrival, his actions
and the nighty manner in which he
would drop one scheme for another,
proyed beyond a doubt that his IMAM

and a careful watch wat made OF his
frture transactions. He had no money

and recommendations which he would
willingly yield up rs an equivalent Tor
cash. but As they would not pass as
legal tender in the camp, itsoon became
evident that a climax in his career was
rapidly approaching. He constantly
crew worse and before the close OF last
week became absolutely crazy, and IN
a frenzied moment broke a saloon
window light which afforded a preteN'
for his arrest. He was brought before
