week ago today after SECURING
possession Of n large number of
valuable diamonds from various
jewelers. in the state.
The one information filed by
District Attorney Weiser in the
district court this morning
charged the minister with the theft of
a $3.50 diamond brooch from A. G.
Parsons, the well known Grand juno
ton ieweler.
second information was filed at
Palisade by the Palisade National
Bank charging Cameron with obtain
ing $3.50 in cash on a forged check.
In the Parsons case Judge Cayender
this morning fixed the bond at ST.

for his arrest.
With weeks start on the detect
ives who are searching for him. Cam
eron increased his chances for escape
by separating from his pretty wife.
who is now at the home of her pa
rents in Pierce, Texas.
Not only has a description of Cam
eron been telegraphed to practically
every city of Importance in the Unit
ed States, but efforts are being made
TO apprehend Cameron by means of
wireless messages to ocean steamers
which left the Atlantic coast during
the past three days. The fact that
Cameron secured a high power gun in
Denver was taken as an indication
by the detectives that he might re-
turn to South Africa on another
hunting trip. and lose himself in the
interior until the hue and cry raised
over his escapades were forgotten.
