Last winter J.. j. Gilpin of Butler
County spent thirty days in jail here
for violating Uncle Sans revenue laws.
On being released here he was taken
in charge by the sheriff of independence
County, Arkansas, where there was
an indictment against him for selling
mortgaged property. Some way or
other, though, he beat the case and was
given his liberty. Shortly afterwards
he was arrested again on the charge
of assault with intent to kill. He got
out of that trouble, too, but is in the
tolls once more. This time he is proba-
bly, s'up against it." The following is
taken from the last issue of the Poplar

making, having in possession and pass
ing counterfeit money. Gilpin was
arraigned before United States Com
missioner O'Bryan last night. and was
taken to St. Louis to await the action
of the United States grand jury. Gilpin
lives on the Palmer road, neal Bates
vile, and he has been circulating bo-
gus dimes for some time, it only being
recently a~scestained that the coins
were of his own manufacture. The
workmanship on the coins was very
good. The officers we're, however,

he used in his privte mint. The pris-
oner is an old offender against the
laws of Uncle Samuel, and once before
served thirty days in Jail for ''bootleg-
ging."
