to a charge of non-suppsrf of his wife,
and two charges of check forgery, j.
Il. Montgomery is this morning to be

termine whether he is suffering from

could not be located: he was said to
have gone to Kansas. On the non-sup-
port charge he was arraigned in Jus

trial, and fixed his bond at $500.

raigned in Justice Corson's court and
the bonds first fixed at $500 each, we're
raised to $1,000 each. The father and
mother of the accused man appeared
and proposed to provide the bonds and
the papers were made out, but not
signed and delivered. and so the young
man was taken to Jail. He complained
of much pain, and expressing the belief
that it was appendicitis, Undersheriff
Kenyon took him to physician who
rather doubted that the condition OBJ
tanned. but it was advised that an ex-
Pert examination be made today, and
