started to make an investigation. He
added up the number of days that are
allotted a prisoner for good behavior

be a deputy revenue officer must be
Brown. He drew up a complaint and
upon the arrest of the swindler it de-
veloped that he was Brown and not
White At that time he was sent TO
the house of correction for Is months.

keeper learned that Fort Madison was
the home of the prisoner and the ar
rest followed. Brown is anxious to

Judge Sanborn is out of the city and
will not be back before Saturday.
Brown had smooth way of work
ing soloonkeepers up north. He would
enter saloons and inform the pro
prietors that cigar boxes were unlaw-
fully labeled. He told them that he
was a deputy revenue officer and that
if they would settle for S25 or $50 he
would not prosecute them. .
