Alleged Imposters Now in Jail.

Sheriff McColly returned Thursday from Chicago, bringing wi£h him the two men, W. F. Dunlap and E. J. Howard, accused jumping a board bill here and securing subscriptions for membership in the Motorists Security Alliance of Chicago, without having the proper authority to do so, and failing to turn over the money received to the Alliance. la default of bond they were remanded to jail and will probably be tried the latter part of the present term of court. Sheriff McColly made a real flying trip in gathering in these men. He left here Tuesday for Indianapolis, where he secured Gov. Ralston’s signature to the requisition, and from Indianapolis went to Springfield, 111., and from thence to Chicago, without sleep or rest. At Springfield the requisition was honored by Gov. Dunne, and he then went to Chicago, where he remained Wednesday night, and came on here with his men Thursday. J. L. Williams, secretary-treasurer of the Motorists Security Alliance, and another gentleman from Chicago, w r ho will solicit memberships here, accompanied the sheriff and the prisoners to Rensselaer. Mr. Williams informed the writer that these men had secured the literature and blanks they had with them on representation that they desired them for studying up the soliciting proposition, and stated, that they could give the required bond as solicitors when they reached Rensselaer, where they claimed to be known.
