The nomination for sheriff was
given to Ben Le Valley after a
lively skirmish. The un formal
showed no majority with Hugh
Hunter, in the le<id, Ou the
formal ballot the Miles delegation
bolted a^d this resulted in a
stampede tor LoValley, Ekalaka
precinct staying with Hunter.
The Miles ring evidently thought
that Hughie did not show enough
strength in their end of the coun
ty to swing the election so switch
ed to a man they felt sui«e of.

?.UH IN TROUBLE,
i* Lewart Unruh, a young man
"«veil khown here and in the Long
Pines Country where he has re
sided for years bar 5 !, is lirîOôr
arrest on the charge of forgery,
Committed in Camp Crö'ok this
week. Sheriff Davis arrived to
day to take charge of Uf.ruh and
his preliminary heading will Prtfb- i
L
ably be held in Buffalo.
The young man committed two
separate jobs of check signing
arid gathering in the cash oil
them. His first victim was Ed
Lake, who sold Unrüli a $12 bill of
goods Tuesday evening, the lat
ter presenting in payment a
own
nd
check drawn ih hi'? own favor j
signed "O, Vv. Own<»s,' i
vhich wd.p accepted and Uni'tih ;
eceivtd the balance in cash.
Loter Mr. La n e became suspic
ious of the check and hunted up
Cashier McDermott, who at onte
pronounced it spurious, the mis
pclling of Mr. Owens' narric be
ing enough to condemn it. Unruh
when approached cn the matte?
claimed to haye received the
of Bkàlaka.- tri payme/H for o?ts:
Afier he BHd been te j
j disgorge the goods and money !
!/ t go cents which he was
check by mail from Wik Owens
short), he flashed another check i
for the same amount and the '
:r.r.ie signature. He wasinstruct
i
(eel to hurry in with the 80 cents,
and i hat ended the first chapter.
Bright anu early next morning
Unruh resumed operations, ovob-j
ably vvHh the ideu uf r^lai^g tha^ J
80 cents. This um : e bo produced
a check for $17.60, payable, to
himself, signed "John McNarie"
This he presented to Landlord
Pannill, who was induced to en
dorse it, and the young man got
the money on it at Chuning's. But
about that time Mr, Pannill
heard of the Lake & DeBghoy
experience and immediately nail
ed the budding "financeier" and
demanded, the money, getting
all but $1.80. Unruh was about
to leave on the Bowman stage,
Mr. Pannill telephoned Job,p
Mc]S T arie^ who lives or. Box Elder
fron) whom, he received confirm
ation that the check \ya,s forged.
Marshall Biffle was requested to.
t£>ke Un rub under his w|ng until
the county authorities h&d time
to sw<rt)p down upon him.
Unruh &nly recently got out of
trouble up at Bftker which came
about through his propensity for
writing cheeks. He is a pqor
penman qnd scholar and his at-,
tainniepts do not a^ ^11 fit hin^
fftr success ip that line, ms
chances are now very good for
a quick trip to Sioux Falls, where
they will soon learn him the art
