Vegreville

The man Thomas Oliver from Medicine Hat, not 
from Vegreville as reported, came up for hearing 
before Magistrate Felming. The case was 
adjourned for a week for Oliver to get a chance 
to get a counsel to defend him. Mr. Oliver is 
out on bail. Of $1,000 in two sureties. B. 
Terean and T. Cadzow $500 each. It seems Mr. 
Oliver was buying cattle for Griffin & Co., and 
while here he got a wire from a man by the name 
of Coghlan, another cattle commission man. 
Winnipeg, to secure 100 head of fat cattle for 
him. Mr. Oliver did so, using Griffin & Checques 
for payment. When the cattle reached Winnipeg, 
Mr. Coghlan refused to take them. The cattle 
were left on Oliver's hands. There was a lump in 
the cattle market, and Oliver had difficulty in 
disposing of the cattle. He sold them the best 
he could and applied the proceeds in paying the 
cheques. He was about $800 short. Hence the 
arrest.


Dr. E. Chase? Who has been living on C.O. 
Simon's place, Pozerville was brought down by 
Constable Smith of the R.N.W.M.P. and taken down 
to Sedgewick. It is alleged Chase picked up a 
horse near Manvville and has been using it. He 
claims he advertised it in the local paper, and 
was ignorant of the law. Chase came here from 
near grand Forks, N.D. He is a married man with 
a wife and three children.
