Romine, the former Mitchell merchant, who
is accused Of having defrauded jobbers
in Omaha and elsewhere out of sums ag-
gregating $40, 900, and who was apprehended
in Massachusetts, while living there under
an assumed name and with his beard
shaver of, was brought to Lincoln today
and lodged in the county Jail for safe keep
ing until the date Of his trial, which is set
for December Is. Since his return from
Massachusetts, he has been in jail in SCOTS
Blur county. Sheriff r c. Campbell of
that county has also presented to the state
authorities his bill for bringing Romine
back, but owing to the fact that the $4,000
appropriation made by the last session for
payment Of officers and the expense of
bringing in fugitives from justice is ex-
hausted, the bill was approved but not
paid.
