The Sheriff of Sandy Fork.

The popular demand for plays deal
ing with the political situation, has
caused numerous writer's to write so
called political plays, some are good,
some are bad, some are Indifferent.
Hundreds Of manuscripts have been
read and promptly rejected by theat-
rical managers, a few have been tried
and rejected and a few have been pro-
duced and are still attracting audien-
ces wherever they are seen. Among
the latter class is a play by one of
the leading playwrights Of the country
Mr.. James w. Evans.
His latest is a play in four acts, The
Sheriff Of Sandy Fork. A wealth OF
special scenery Is carried which guar
antees a properly staged production.
The play will be seen at the Canton
opera house one night only wednesday
March 2nd. Reserved seats should be
secured we'll in advance.

A Bold Bad Thief.

A bold, unblushing thief, who calls
himself Wilson, drove a team into M.
A. Johnson's livery barn last week
which we briefly noticed In the last is
sue of the LEADER, but to show the
brazen character Of the fell W we
must 60 over to Rock Valley and tell
the tale as twas told US.
Wilson blew into Rock Val ey and
wanted to purchase a half section Of
land. He found n and the price
was $40, 900 which was satisfactory to
his bumship. He wrote out a tele-
gram and sent it to his bank at
Chamberlain directing that $4,000 be
at once sent him at Rock Valley. He
had a big bunch of cattle somewhere
which he had to look after and by
this time the Rock Valleyites had
sized him up as a member of the
Rockefeller family. He went into a
saloon but was short of small change,
so he wrote out a check for $50 and
the barkeeper cashed it Of course,
glad to do it don't you know. Then
he set 'em up for the boys and cut a
wide swath for a time. Then he got
a team and started after his cattle,
but landed in Canton, putting the
team in M. A. Johnson's barn after
which he took a walk. It was during
his meandering around town that
Bob Bremen discovered in the Rock
Valley millionaire the fellow that
had jumped an SO board bill. Bob
got busy and talked hard English to
his board jumper, but Roberts hot
words fell on cold, unsympathetic
ears. The fellow wore a good over
coat and Bob's language was directed
at the overcoat in a round about way.
Bob thought he could get him mad
enough to pull off that coat and show
fight but he was unable to get the
coat through this we'll planned scheme.
Then Bob followed him to the depot
and talked some more furnace lang
uage but the fellow knew his business
temper in the ice house. Bob got the
robe the fellow had, but that was
liable to be called for, and he got
some cash, enough to pay for mend
ing the shattered holes in the atmos-
phere. This fellow Wilson, is a bad
one and will likely land in the pen
again where he recently graduated to
enter the real estate business in Iowa.
The money from the Chamberlain
bank did not arrive at Rock Valley,
the cattle are digging snow on a
thousand hills, the half section farm
didn't change hands, the saloon man
is figuring out profit and loss and
damning suckers, and two or three
Rock Valleyites are going to erect a
confidence monument, while M. A.
Johnson is jingling the cash in his
jeans that it cost the Rock Valley
man to redeem the team Wilson left
here. The LEADER asked Mr.. John.
son: "Did you get all that was com
ing to you?" Don't you know l did, ?
and then he smiled a smile that
would have made every man in Rock
Valley hot.

A Crazy Fire Bug Captured.

Ole Jacobson, who has made his
home at Hudson and Canton for years,
and regarded by those who know him
best as being dippy, and a strenuous
consumer of alcohol straight, was ar.
rested last Saturday charged with
being responsible for the fires started
early Saturday. morning in various
parts Of the city.
About six O'Clock Saturday morning
the fire whistle aroused the city and
gave notice of a fire which almost des-
troyed the old paint and wagon shop
on Cedar street. The Heckmaster &
Reynolds Creamery Co., had about
$500 worth of creamery supplies stored
in the building which were destroyed
and not insured.
1t was DOR learned that other fires
had been set, n at the corner Of the
new post office, one under the Pickett
Pidcoe warehouse, mi under the
steps at the real of Berry Bros. store
and another at the alley end of the
Sioux Valley Hardware and Imple-
ment Co. building.
Oscar Lee and Ed Hannett, bakers
who work for Mr.. Tank, were coming
to work about 5 O'Clock and fortunate
ly discovered the blazing rubbish un-
der Mr.. Puckett's warehouse and put
it out, then they discovered stuff
burning under the platform in the
rear Of Berry Bros. store, which they
also put out, and seeing no more evil
dence of fire went to work in the
bakery, first calling Mr.. Tank, who
arose and dressed and on coming
down stairs discovered a small blaze
at the corner Of the Hardware store
which he soon put out after seeing
the tirebug run out of the alley. A
barrel of hay and paper stood in the
rear of the post office, this the fire
bug set on fire, but it burned out with
out doing any damage.
BY seven o'clock the business Sec
ton of the town was thoroughly arous-
ed and the feeling was very bitter,
although all were agreed that the
fellow who set the fires was drunk or
insane or both. Mayor Dean, city at
torney Jameson, states attorney Car
son, sheriff Quien and deputy Tucker
and others got busy and a hunt for
the bug began in dead earnest. Jacob
son, the frebug, noticed the commo-
tion his insane act had created and
told that he knew something about
the fires and this led to his arrest and
he afterwards confessed that he went
around with another party who set
the fires.
All evidence proves that he was
alone, for he got up at 4 a.. m. and left
the Home Restaurant where he was
rooming and did not return. His mind
is sane on ONE things and on other
events he drew from the imagination
of a brain weak at the best and in
famed from the constant use Of al
cohol. Just what will be done with
Jacobson has not been determined yet,
but he will be placed where he won't
set any more fires for a long time.
