Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 24, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 September 1905 — HE KNEW “BILL” RINEHART. [ARTICLE]

HE KNEW “BILL” RINEHART.

Jaßper Kenton returned last Friday from looking after his big farm near Mitchell, So. Dak. He found things in good shape there, with good crops and everyone happy. He met while there a man from Missouri—not the historical fellow who has to be shown —and in conversation with him learned that he was acquainted with “Bill” Rinebart, ex-chairman of the republican county central committee of Jasper oounty, and for about two weeks receiver of A. McCoy & Co. The man knew Bill becanse he said that the latter owed him something like $135 for wood-chopping, which he had been unable to oolleot. He said Bill was doing a big business there, had a big ranch and enjoyed the distinction of having given one of the biggest mortgages on it that was ever recorded in the state. According to this man’s story the ranch is covered pretty well with mortgages, but William tells there, so he says, that he has a big and valuable ranch in Indiana that is clear of any incumbrance. He no doubt refers to bis wife’s lands in Hiring Grove tp., that are mortgaged for about three times their appraised value. Lost: —Somewhere on the road between O. K. Ritchey’s place south of town and Rensselaer, last Sunday, a tan-colored leather pooket-book containing a sum of money. Finder please leave at. The Democrat office.
