Monday mornii Adolph Culstrom
and ]. L. Culstrom, brothers, decided
that they had no further business in
Webster. In their haste to get away
they overlooked-intentionally or other
wise-the little matter of settling their
board bill. Learning of their departure
their landlord, VIM Elliott. swore out
a warrant for their arrest which was
placed in the hands or the sheriff A
phone message was sent Deputy Sheriff
O. S. Denny, who discovered his men in
Waubay and at once arrested them and
returned with them to Webster on the
Cannon Ball. They were taken before
a justice that afternoon and found
guilty and sentenced to fine of twenty
dollars and costs or ten days in Jail. AS
both were broke they are now boarding
