Candidates for Sheriff.

Among the list of announcements
for Office this week we have Mr.. John
J. Linde of Sumner township, who
is a candidate for Sheriff. Mr.. Linde
is very we'll and favorably known
in the western part of the county
He has served acceptably as township
cleik, justice of the peace and men,
Der of the school board, and has many
friends who have urged him to be a
candidate for Sheriff. If nominated
and elected we feel sure he would
give efficient service.
Mr.. julius Haas, the gentlemanly
steward of the county poor farm for
the past five years, also announces
his candidacy for Sheriff. Mr. Haas
is quite well known throughout the
county. He has had charge of the
poor farm for five years past, and
made one of the best stewards the
county ever had. If he should be
nominated for this office we have no
doubt that he would be elected and
fill it with the best of satisfaction to
all the people.
The name of Frank Morrison also
appears as candidate for Sheriff.
Mr.. Morrison has recently moved to
DEBORAH from Burr Oak. He has lived
in that township for many years, has
been prominent in public aft airs, held
several minor offices, and is a gentle
man who holds the respect of all who
know him. He has many qualifications
for this Office and would make good
sheriff, we are sure, if nominated and
elected.
Ira Rima. the getlemanly police
officer of this city, also announces his
candidacy for the Office of Sheriff.
Mr.. Rima has been ON the police force
in this city for several years, and has
proven one of the most careful, pru-
dent and efficient officers the city has
ever had. He has shown peculiar
qualifications for this class of work,
and the party would not make mis-
take in nominating him. He would
give thoroughly satisfactory service if
elected.

Steinnort in the Hands of the Law.

A copy of the Moline, H., Journal
of July 30th comes to our desk, con-
tanning a column write.up of the
arrest of Q. 0. Steinnort, formerly of
DEBORAH and Moline, on the charge
of fraud and obtaining money under
false pretenses. The article says he
was arrested in Oregon about three
weeks ago on warrant issued by the
Moline Pillow Co. IS california house,
charged with the above offense. He
formerly published in connection
with the Moline Plow Co. in Illinois
a Farmers Reference and Account
Book, an advertising scheme which
he also worked in this territory, but
his methods were $50 tinctured with
fraud" that the pillow company
pulled out of the deal. He also or
ganized the Moline Printing Co.
with the pillow company interested,
which busted up. 1t is said that in
the west he tried to put up stock
certificates of this printing company
as security for his solvency. This
and other crooked deals caused his
arrest and he is now in the hands of
the law, according to the report.
The Moline Journal concludes the
articles with "before coming to
Moline in 1903 Steinnort had been in
business at DEBORAH, Iowa, and
failed, but managed to hush sources
of information regarding his methods
until he got fastened onto Moline. !"
