The Colorado statesman., 1912-09-07

Every woman has her ideal. From early
girlhood she dreams of him. She pictures
him in every phase of life, knows just how
he will appear on this and that occasion.
the style of clothes he will have on and
even the cut of his hair. Sooner or later
she is going to meet him, and then-what /?
Under the present day customs, if he hap
pens to be a little bashful, or lacking in
initiative, he will disappear out of her life
as suddenly as he came into it.
Why should this be so? Why should
two loving souls be allowed to wander off
into eternal loneliness?

La Grande Officer Says Care

The merchants and business men
are, in the main. responsible for the
number of bad checks and worthless
check artists of the state. This is the
conclusion of Sheriff Childers, of La

time before his retHrn to Weiser after
Joe Huffman, captured there for the
issuance of a bad check while he was
in LaGrande.
The sheriff thinks that the way IN
which many merchants prove them
selves easy marks for the check ar
fist is responsible for the fact that
there are so many operating through.

bad checks that turn up at the bank 8
of the state. He believes that they
cash checks for almost anybody who
presents one, whether they know the
signer or the signature or not, and
that they seldom take the trouble to
find out if the payee has the money
in the bank to cover that check.
The trip to Weiser after Huffman
proved an eventful one for the sher-
iff. While he was waiting for a train,
he captured William Lindbald, a SOL
der who is said to have deserted from
the Boise barracks. He brought him
on to Boise and turned him over. to
the commander of the post here. While
he was in the depot at Nampa waiting
for the connection to Boise. he turned
in his seat and saw man whom he
recognized as Jail breaker from the
Oregon penitentiary at Salem and
called an officer to arrest him at once
When he returned the man had gone
Sheriff Childers was defeated in La
Grande for election by Republican
with majority of SO votes in county

that he had no time for active cam
