FORGER CAUGHT


Edward Coleman, wanted since
September on a charge OF forging a
check on the First National bank. was
arrested yesterday at Ramona by
Sheriff Keller and brought to the
Jail at Madison. He was arraigned
for preliminary hearing this morning
before Judge Sponholz, and placed
under $500 bonds to appear Monday
for hearing. The crime charge is of
writing a check, without having
funds in the bank. by means of which
he obtained clothing of the NJ. NJ.
Kramer Clothing company.
On September 9 Coleman visited
the Kramer store and bought a com
plete outfit of clothing, consisting of
overcoat, cap. suit, tie, socks ana
gloves. the cost of which was $3.50.
He wrote a check for the amount,
and when it was found that there
were no funds i'm the bank to his
credit. a warrant was sworn out for
his arrest. He had disappeared. and
was not heard from until Thursday.
The young man worked for some
years as helper in an auto repair shop
i'm Madison, later running the place
as his own. His success in the bust
ness was small. Discouraged. he
committed the crime aforesaid, sold
his tools and was seen no more.
In talking with a Daily Leader re-
porter this morning the young man
said that he had ONE money when
he did the thing for which he was
apprehended. but had just heard Of
the illness of a relative in Tennes-
see. and felt that il was necessary for
him to be there. In need of clothes,
he got them by the first means that
occurred to him. He went straight
from here to his birthplace in Ten
nessee.
He worked at the repair business
in Tennessee during the winter, re
turning to Sioux Falls early this
spring. where he also worked for a
time. Deciding to visit his parents,
who live on a farm about ten miles
from Oldham. and then to go to the
west coast, he came through Madl-
son. He was seen here by acquaint-
ances. and it was reported 20 the
sheriff late Thursday night
Sheriff Keller searched the town
that night and found hat the man
had started along the track on ms
way TO Oldham. With the use 81 the
phone he found that a man who lived
near The railway had seen him walk
ing in that direction. There was q
family i'm the vicinity for whom Cole
man had worked at n time. but
they could not be reached by phone.
Yesterday morning Sheriff Keller
phoned the marshal at Ramona, and
the marshal at that place kept the
man in view until the sheriff could
arrive. The young man yielded 10
the sheriff's arrest with smiling stole
ism, and returned with the officer on
the train which had waited some
minutes for the sheriff's convenience.
Coleman said that he had worked
i'm Sioux Falls for some time, and
that he intended TO return and settle
the matter up. II is said that there
are numerou other matters of the
same kind, though of not so large
sums, and that these counts will be
considered in his trial.

Finally, / hit on the trouble-I

friends in Washington, telling of the re-

Referring to the reception of the Amer

greeted royalty with cheers and with
apples. which the applauding populace
showered upon us. There were French
poi1us in the crowd and widows with
small children. some in arms. The order
had been issued for the men to keep
quiet, but 1t was an order difficult, II not
impossible to enforce.
I'VE showered cigarettes upon the
crowd and in turn were pelted with
apples and pears. Then the people gave
US several supposed American cheers:
.Heep, heep, hoorah.' The welcome was
so genuine and seemed to come from

had to beat it back to my own state
room to hide the tears that somewhat
dimmed my eyes.
The trip over was uneventful and for
the most part pleasant as far as the
weather was concerned, but the nights
were horribly long, as lights were not
