Eldora, June 29.-James Bachman, of

Tried on Charges Of Cheating on
False Prstenses.

Cedar Rapids June 29-Earnest Golf
is in Jail in Denver again. or yet 1t
is hard to tell just where he has been
since last Thursday. when Chief of
Police Felix O'Neil, of Denver, tele-
sraphed Chief Burgin that he had him
and then DIDN'T. Another telegram was
received Saturday evening from the
chief of police in Denver, saying that
he had Golf in Jail. and that he had
teiegraphed several times. and wanted
to know what to do with him.
Chief of Police Burgin will send a
man after Golf, as soon as one can get
started. Detective Mcguire will make
the trip, to finish the job he SO sue.
cessfully commenced. Mrs. Golf will
also be brought pack to this city, on a
charge of cheating by false pretenses.
1t is hoped that Goff will be in tail
when Detective Mcclure arrives in the
Colorado metropolis.
There seems to be some sort Of a
mix-up in this Golf affair at the Den
yer end. Last Thursday Chief Burgin
received message saying that he had
Goff in Jail there, and that he had also
arrested his wife. He asked what dis
position to make of them, and Chief
Burgin wired him Immediately asking
him to hold them on fugitive from jus
tice warrants. one charging Golf with
forgery, and the other charging Mrs.
Golf with cheating by false pretenses.
That was early in the evening.
Later in the evening another tele-
gram was received from Chief o'Neil,
stating that Golf had been placed under
arrest in the Auditorium hotel in Den
Yer by two officers. and that Golf had
made his escape by climbing down the
fire escape.
Then there started further communi-
cations between the chief and Chief
O.Neil. Chief Burgin wanted to know
If it could be possible for Golf to re-
main in hiding in Denver, and asked
the Denver official to use every effort
to re-capture the forger.
Possibly there was some nix-up in
the kilograms and the telling Of the
escape should have come to the station
