Peterson received a letter from the
prosecuting attorney in the Idaho city

brave is to be compelled to face five
different counts. each of them charg-
ing him with obtaining money with
worthless checks.
The case had been set for trial for
Thursday of this week, but at the re-
quest of Mr.. Peterson it has been
postponed until next week.
Young George is the same Indian
who was in trouble here several
weeks ago for selling a horse which
did not belong to him. His sister

unconscious into the arms of a
friend ia one of the drinking resorts
of the city. He remained unconscious
until Saturday and then for four or
five days he was partly conscious be-
fore lapsing into the coma which
continued until yesterday afternoon,
when he passed away.
AS the most diligent inquiry failed
to reveal anything concerning the
mans past, his relatives or even his
age. he was buried at the expense of
the county in Olney cemetery this af-
ternoon. A short funeral ceremony
was said over the remains in Bakers
chapel on Cottonwood street by Father
