He was a new man in the place, and had been in only about 10 days, when he went to Chicago to have a good time, taking about a hundred dollars of the companies’ money. He was robbed by a woman, and going to the police station to have her arrested, was himself taken charge of and sent back to Crown Point, where he is awaiting trial.
