Kirschenmann Caught.

John Kirschenmann was arrest
ed Tuesday, the charge being that
of obtaining money under false
pretense. The allegations of the
complaint are that he issued a
check on a bank in which he had
no funds. Kirschenmann took a
continuance and has not yet had
his preliminary hearing. .-Tyndall
Tribune.
Kirshenmann disappeared and a
search made for him by sheriff
Kelley. The man was seen in
Tabor Wednesday and identified
by Frank Dostal who is we'll ac-
quainted with him. Sheriff Kelley
came to town Wednesday in search
of his man but Kirschenmann ma
naged to hide among the box cars
until the sheriff left town. He
then appeared on the streets and
was nabbed by marshal Matuska
and held until the arrival of the
sheriff who took him to Tyndall.
Kirschtnmann enjoyed a good re-
putation until his fall. 1t is un-
explicable what prompted him to
60 astray.
