PECK OF TROUBLE

For masquerading with another
woman and endeavoring to palm
her off as his wife on a railroad
pass authorized by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, George F.
McGillis was brough to the county
Jail yesterday afternoon from Hol-
brook by Deputy Marshal B. An
derson, and will have his trial before
the Federal court sometime N
March. He was unable to secure
$500 bail and was bound over.
In his preliminary examination
the 1udicrous fact was said to
have been that instead OF Mrs
ellis being his travelling compan-
ion along the maine line OF the
Santa Fc railroad, in reality it was
Ida Sprague. The latter in shorr
was nothing more nor less than
Mrs. McGillis. by brevct, for the
occasion. The expose has created
a great amount of comment along
the main lire, and illustrates the
genius OF the easy going route that
is closely allied to the old saying
"flagrante-delicto."
