The ladies of the Columbian Club

the coming winter months, the pro-
gram OF which arrived too late for

Wednesday a warrant was issued
for the arrest of VIM. Medin, but
whose real name, so we are informed
is William Medill Bair. 1t is alleged
that he has been obtaining money
:" by cheating by false pretenses.n
The gentleman says he is from Des
Moines and is doctor or works for
DR.. Stander. He has been in town
the past week making this his head
quarters while he has been working
through the country, looking for in.
durable chronic cases of any and all
kinds which he claimed that the firm
or doctor that he represents can cure
if the natinnt will fol e
their treatment. Before any medicine
IS sent from headquarters at Des
MONIES, the patient is required to put
up IN advance a specified amount
which will cover the expense incurred
in one months treatment. For thus
obtaining money is cause for arrest.
The warrant was put in the hands of
Deputy Sheriff Pat Carolan who went
to Extra and as the noon train passed
south, the party got aboard and the
arrest was made between Extra and
Brayton on the train. Conductor
Bundy stopped the train as matter
OF courtesy and the genial conductor
and the hale and hearty deputy ex-
changed smiles and in a few minutes
the officer of the law and his man in
charge, started up the track for Extra
where they obtained conveyance and
drove back to Audubon. He was
given preliminary hearing in justice
court. All the parties that claimed to
have been detrauded came in and the
notes and monies obtained We're re-
turned and the case dismissed. Later
information was filed and suit brought
against the doctor for being an
ltinerant doctor practicing without a
permit. The case is set for the COM
ing Tuesday before Justice Gray.
Arrangements are being made
give the solder boys that will soon ra-
turn from the battlefields of the Phil
liplnes, and all other soldier boys of
the county who took part in the late
war with Spain, grand and jubilant
reception and fitting recognition and
welcome for their heroism and valor,
shown in defending and offering to
defend the honor of their country and
to protect the American flag from in
suits of a foreign foe. The committees
have been appointed, so as to secure
the cooperation and support of the
peopleand to provide means and en-
tertainment for the occasion which
gives every promise of being the most
brilliant affair ever given by the
people of the county. Clyde Baker
and Will Wilson, our two heroes in
the PHILIPPINES are now on their way
home gliding swiftly over the dark
blue waters of the proud Pacific re-
turning to home, relatives and friends
WHO can scarcely wait their return.
