SHERIFF. NABS WANTED MAN
Alex Prinale Hid i'm City for Three
Days-Arrested by Deputy Kauf-
nlan-CIever Work.

Alex Pringle. plumber alleged
to have passed a worthless check up
on the Ford Liquor Store Saturday
night, March 6. was arrested by Dep
uty Sheriff Kaufman Friday night
in the lower part of the city, after a
three day search Pringle has been
in hiding in this city since last Tues
day. and when arrested was making
ready to leave town on an eastbound
freight train Pringle when arrested
had 60 cents in his possession. He
is held in the county Jail pending a
preliminary hearing.
The check which was passed by
Pringle, purported to be signed by
Robert Scott, was made out for
$3.50. 1t is said that Pringle's
downfall is attributable to the love
of fast women and their company,
and to have lavished his meager sup
ply of funds upon them. Deputy Sher-
if Kaufman traced the movements
of the man from the time that he
passed the check, and his capture
was the result of a clever piece of
detective work. Pringle when ar
rested offered no resistance and came
TO the county Jail willingly. The pre-
liminary hearing of the man will be
held Monday morning before Justice
Hunt.

UNCLE JOE is SPEAKER
Vote Was Not Unanimous in Caucus
and This Is Claimed to Augur
Trouble for Regulars.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Fol-
lowing is the personnel of the house
organization chosen by the republic
can caucus tonight: For speaker,
Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois; clerk
of house, Alexander Mcdowell Penn
sylvania; postmaster, Samuel A. Ian
gum, Minnesota: sergeant at arms,
Henry Casson Wisconsin; doorkeep
er, F. B. Lyon, New ork; chaplain.
Rev. Henry n. Couden, the blind
preacher.
All of these were selected as can
didates to succeed themselves. Rep
resentative Currir of New Hampshire
was elected chairman of the caucus
and Representative Loudenslager of
New Jersey was elected to succeed
himself as secretary. Representative
John w Dwight of New York was
chosen Whip of the next house. The
caucus agreed to vote Monday for
the adoption of the rules of the last
house.
Feeling of Uncertainty.
This is the fourth time the honor
been conferred upon Cannon, but to-
night neither the selection of the
candidate for speaker nor the vote
on rules was characterized by unan-
unity of party feeling that attended
the three preceding caucuses. There
was plenty of evidence of the insur-
rection promised for Monday against
the Cannon organization, but in the
main the most determined anti-Can-
non republicans were OF preset.

Accomplished A Nothing

The committee which went to Den
yer to make a definite proposition
to the Denver Laramie returned Sat
urday night without accomplishing
anything for sure, unless a small ex-
tension of time in which to raise the
amount could be called an accom-
plishment. The Laramie people in
timated, however, that they may
have new proposition to offer in a
few days which would furnish un-
questionable security for the loan
asked by the new road. The COM
pany owns several thousand acres of
land between Denver and Greeley.
besides the Hillsboro townsite, and
it is probable that the Greeley peo-
pie who are behind the proposition
will take over and promote these
lands as security for the loan. An
other meeting will probably be call
