“A FOOL AND HIS MONEY, ETC.”

Frank Bricker, the young man who secured a judgment against Warren Springer some time ago for injuries received in a corn shredder on Springer’s ranch in Walker tp., was recently paid all or a part of said judgment, and proceeded to celebrate the event at Roselawn by patronizing the booze dispensaries there to the best of his ability. He bad some $385 when he started in, but claims some of the gang he was with relieved him of a great portion of the money while he was drunk. He raised a kick and S2OO of the money was returned to him, leaving him still “shy” almost as much more. Monday he had George Steel, Charles and Hank Taber arrested for making way tvith his money, and a hearing was had before a J. P. at Roselawn and defendants were bound over to the circuit court. The arrests were made by Christie Vick of Rensselaer, who was sent for to make them.
