A fellow who called his name Clap
per, and hailed from New York
state arrived here on an early train
recently, having q woman with him
who called herself q relative of Isra-
ell Parker's folks in Bloomington.
He procured team and carried the
woman there, but Mrs. Parker did
not recognize her friend, and it be-
gan to be suspected that it was put
up job to leave vagrant on the
town. The overseer took the matter
in hand and sheriff Parker arrested
Clapper and he was held until hear
ing was had, when the strangers were
permitted to take a train and leave
for parts unknown. The Browning
ton people are not looking for i'm.
ported paupers just at present.
