with forging and cashing a check on
the McKeyes Bank at Lawton. He
has been wanted for some time, and

Sheriff Lang did a clever piece OF
sleuthing at Packard Station near
South Haven last Sunday. The Spell
man Brothers store at that station
was entered some time during the
day, and four large gunny sacks of
groceries and clothing all packed up
ready to be carried away. The
thieves removed the sacks from the
store through a window, when an
approaching auto frightened them
away, leaving the sacks under the
window. Sheriff Lang and Under
sheriff Barker were on the job in the
afternoon and brought two colored
boys, Arnold Roudy and Castor Hill
laire to the county Jail in the eve
ming. The sheriff suspicined these
two young men who recently came to
this locality from Chicago. They
denied their guilt most vehemently,
but on Monday a full confession was
secured and the boys will undoubted-
ly be sentenced at the October term
of court. 1t was a mighty good job
we'll done.
