Pretty Flip Young Man.

The Commercial News, Published at
Sioux Falls has this to say about A. B.
Leno, the young man who got $50 from
the local bank here on false pretense
and afterwards while plying his arts out
west landed up in the penitentiary:
For a year or so A. B. Walters cut
quite wide swath al Parker. While
in that town he held the position OF
manager of the Chamberlain clothing
store. Tie was rather pleasant fellow
TO meet and at first impressed many OF
the commercial men with the idea that
he was doing good business and con.
sequemtly large orders were placed, but
in most instances Walters worked the
boys for presents, such as fur.lined coats
suits OF clothes. hats, shoes, etc. He
furnished a couple Of steam heated
rooms in the new Danforth block in gor-
geous style, gave parties, bought high
stopper, fine carriage harness and cut
ter. All the time fooling the unsophis-
tiCated Mr.. Chamberlain into the belief
that he was living within his means of
$50 per month. When Chamberlain
sold out at Parker the extravagant and
gay young man hiked for pastures green
We have just been informed that he
has been sent up for three years in Wal
la Walla, Washington, penitent.ary for
q theft of 5000. 1t also turns out that
the travellers were doing business with
A. b. Leno, instead of Walters, who
served time in the Sioux Falls peniten-
tiary, having been sent up from Aber-
deem soma three or four years ago. Also
that he clerked for s. Slettaback at Ar
mour and we are told he stole Mr.. S.
blind. Leno was good and rapid buy.
er and some nice large orders were
placed but very few Of the goods were
shipped.
