The Sheriff’s Unwelcome Guest

At a late hour on Friday night, Sheriff Sears arrested Geo. F. Dauber as he was going on board the Kalama boat, on his way to Whatcom, a station on the Tacoma road. Mr. Dauber, who formerly kept a saloon at that place, failed and came over here and paid one of his creditors at the rate of fifty cents on the dollar, but failed to settle with the majority of their claims and one of them swore out a warrant for his arrest. He was surprised at the arrest, as he was about to go on the boat. He was soon convinced of his error in the matter, and after being taken to his brother’s residence to inform him of the arrest, Mr. Dauber was marched to the county jail. The accommodations did not suit his taste at all, and he secured the services of an attorney in the sum of $50. He was greatly relieved when the matter was arranged and he was allowed his liberty, as his brother was to be wed today, and they were to have a great time, and he wished to be on hand. The sheriff had no objections so that he had the bail, and will not care if Mr. Dauber fails to come back.
