DR.. siRoIR ARRESTED
For Passing Base Mexican Money in
Kay County.

blackwell, o. T.. Aug. DIR. Siroir
who claims to be a Frenchman, was ar
rested at Tonkawa yesterday for passing
Mexican money in North Enid, Cropper
and other places in Garfield county. The
arrest was made on order Of c. V. Por-
ter of Enid, who came over yesterday
for his man, but was taken sick and sent
A. o. Lund after the prisoner.
Sheriff Porter claims that Siroir has
been passing $ and SO Mexican bills
pretty freely. They are not very hard
to pass on the unsuspecting. resembling
very much the United States money. The
bills are of inferior value, however, and
the doctor who has been travelling in
buggy over the country, has apparently
been making good wages. The doctor de-
mics any criminal motive, claiming that
he knows not how he came into posses
sion of these bills.
1t is a noticeable fact, however that
the doctor still has a lot Of this Mexi-
can money in his possession, and ii is
suspected that he has been successful in
passing a number of the bills in this
county. Sheriff Porter thinks Siroir is
not a Frenchman, but Spaniard, as he
more resembles a Spaniard than anything
else He will be taken to Enid this even
ing Siroir is a very large man, Weighing
POO pounds or more, and has been seen
in this CITY,
