has had two warrants for McClintock' S
arrest for several days and yesterday
learned that McClintock was at Charles
City, where his parents reside. He tele-
phoned to the authorities at once and
they found the doctor as above stated.

wanted to post money to cover the
| amount of money he is charged with
having secured in an Illicit manner,
which is s135. Sheriff Law was consult
| ed by telephone and he refused to grant
the request He ordered that the man
| be held until he could go to Charles City
| and bring him home for hearing.

/ picious that all was not right in the
! transaction and writing to st. Paul
