Charged With False Pretense

Harry Walker. fireman on the steamer
Imnaha, was arrested by Chief of Police
Masters Monday morning on warrant
sworn out by d. Allen, owner of the
Welcome saloon. The charge as alleged
in the warrant of arrest was obtaining
whiskey under false pretense.
1t appears that Allen accuses Walker
with obtaining whiskey under the pre-
tense of buying it for deck hand on the
Imnaha and having it charged to his ac-
count.
Walker was turned over to Sheriff
Shuldt by Chief Masters and is now cor
fined in the county jail He stated yes
terday that the whole affair arose over a
pint of whiskey. During the afternoon
before he got the whiskey he had paid
for IS games of pool. The examination
will be held i'll Justice Thompson court
at 10 O'Clock tomorrow morning.
