DAYS IN JAIL

George Werner, who gave his home
as Kansas City, Mo-, was arrested last
Saturday evening and lodged in the
county Jail after he had cashed a bo-
gus check for $1,000 at the Julesburg
Bargain Store. Soon after the trans
action Mr.. Place, the proprietor be-
came suspicious of the check and soon
had the officers after the offender.
1t was learned that the young man had
also cashed check for $500 at the
Williams pool hall, but had made this
check good out of the money received
on the $1,000 check. Werner was ar
raigned before county judge j. S.
Labaree Tuesday morning, and upon
entering plea of guilty to the charge
of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, was sentenced to the county
Jail for fifteen days. Deputy District
Attorney W. H. Pound represented the
prosecution and P. NJ. Place was the
complaining witness.

Buy A Song Book
For Use at School

cure suitable song books for use at
the public school. The Hollis Damn

know of and is the one used IN the

as their own personal property.
All others who wish to assist IN this
good cause may do so by placing one
or more of these books in the school
for the use of pupils who cannot buy
them and for use as extra copies. The
money may be sent at once to the
principal or to any of -he teachers.
