TRIED TO WORK SHERIFF.
Jim Rogers, Who Was Arrested Here,
Tried to Work Lincoln Co. Sheriff.

Sheriff l.. M. Tug and Deputy Chap
man made clever catch this week
that reflects much credit on the sher-
ifs office of Lincoln county. A fellow
came into the office Sunday morning
claiming to be forest ranger and his
make up looked better than an imita-
ton. He stated that he was out on a
hunt for the Whitney outlaws and
wanted Mr.. Tug to cash a check for
him. The Lincoln county sheriff Of
fered to accommodate him in the mat
ter provided he could show proper
credentials. This he failed to do. Soon
after he hired a rig at Purdums barn
and drove to Jerome. There he
changed rigs at local livery stable
and drove over to Twin Falls. Mean
while Jere Purdum, remembering past
experiences, had the sheriff phone over
to Jerome to inquire about his team
The Purdum rig was there all right,
but the news made the Jerome livery
man feel uneasy about his own team
So Mr. Tug phoned ahead to Twin
Fails and requested the sheriff there
to keep lookout for the man. When
the make-believe ranger was caught
Monday evening he had already Of
fered the team for sale. Deputy
Chapman left Tuesday on No. IA and
returned with his man the next morn
ing. He gave his name as Jim Rogers
and his occupation as a COW puncher.
Mr.. Tug thinks that man who will
attempt bunco game on sheriff in
his own office might we'll be credited
with plenty of cheek-Shoshon Jour
