Amounts To Four Hundred

Leo Fiddler, forger by his own
pleas sentenced to the Minneso-
Ia State reformatory at st. Cloud.
He was taken before Judge Z. c.
Dean at Fairmont late yesterday,
Pleaded TO the charge and listened
to the order of the court.
1t is believed that all of Fiddler's
checks have now been rounded up.
They total about $500 and tabulate
victims at Fairmoft, Mankato, AL
bert Lea and Wells. He did the best
business in Fairmont. All but one or
two OF those who cashed his paper
are out Of pocket for the, amounts

them to collect from Fiddler five
years hence when he Is due to come
into possession OF legacy from his
grandfather in Illinois, now held
as a trust fund for him until he be-
comes 25 years OF age
Fiddler disclosed that his financial
difficulties began when he dated up
a nice Blue Earth girl at the county
fair last fall. He soon discovered
that[a modern courtship with autoE
mobiles, dances, moonlight drives,
cafes and all that costs more money
than job as an ordinary farm hand
yields. He therefore had to raise
cash for gasoline and suppers and
entertainments by some convenient
means in order to hold the pace
which modernity demands. It's darn
ed expensive to sport "a girl these
times.

why he embarked on a life of crime.
Testimony of the defendant and
statements by his counsel showed
that Fiddler's downfall began when
he bought his Ford car. 1.-The up
keep of the car took all the money
i got" Fiddler said in telling what
became of the money the bad checks
brought him.
Many young man and woman
too has ridden to hell in a Ford
car" Judge Dean remarked.
1t was disclosed that Fiddler
parents and the parish priest at Blue
Earth had labored with him to aban-
don the evil ways into which they
saw him slipping but he had gotten
as far as the seventh grade in
school and was quite sure he knew
better than his councillors.
Fiddler's commitment to the re.
formatory was by unanimous con :
sent. Fiddler himself told the court
he thought he ought to go there.
County Attorney Lowell recommend
ed it and Fiddler's own attorney
urged 1t while the parents Of the
young man made no protest.
The examination disclosed that
Fiddler quit school early because he
was unable to make progress in the

sion the Sheriffs will be addressed
by various state officials on the du-
ties pertaining TO their offices.
! Sheriff Ario will probably confer
with S. B. Qvale, state prohibition
director regarding the co operation
methods which are to be established
between the prohibition rorces ana
the state and municipal law enforce
ment bodies. The cooperation OF
these bodies is being stimulated by
letters received from Major r. A.

An investigation will probably
be made in Mankato in regard to the
prescriptions issued by local doctors
and drug stores relative to the use or
fictitious names on the blanks. In

shown the authorities that great
many names have been given with
wrong addresses and vice versa.

be used here as in the twin cities
to ascertain the number of bogus"
