For the past few days that mys-
FERROUS worker, Tom Hughes, had
something on his strings which came
to an issue last night when he swore
out an affidavit against one
Dan McGinnis, well dress
ed Stranger, for embezzlement. A

him while standing on the sidewalk
near the Kampmann building.
The affidavit was made upon a let
ter from the officials of Council Bluff,
Ia, asking for the arrest of one Dan
McGinnis, aged 4S years and weigh
ing 230 pounds. The arrested
man acknowledged that he was
Dan McGinnis; he could not
have well done otherwise, as his
weight gave him dead away. How
ever, while he is rather reticent, he
saws that he knows nothing whatever
of the charges made against him, and
says that there is nothing in it. The
man is hold here until an officer from
Council Bluffs comes this way after
