During the past few weeks an insur-
ance solicitor named Roberts, residing
at Waterloo, was at work for the M.
B. A., and with some little success,
but the temptations of the town led
him to spend more money than his
income warranted, with the result that
he left the town owing C. F. Robinson,
of the Park Hotel. bill for board and
for cigars and borrowed cash. Others
about town also mourn the loans of
various amounts to Roberts. Roberts
left Cresco by promising to send the
money to Robinson in few days and
failing to do so, Robinson caused his
arrest at Waterloo and return to Cresco.
At his preliminary hearing Wednesday,
he as held to the grand jury in bonds
of 5000 on charge of borrowing money
under false pretences. In default of
bondsmen, he is confined in the county
Jail. Roberts is married man with
wife and son, young man, residing in
Waterloo.
