CLAIMS TO BE A SHERIFF'S SON

FRANK JONES GOT HIS FELLOWS DRUNK

And Is Alleged Took Their Money-- Arrested in Detroit and Brought Back Here

Frank Jones, who has been employed by C.J Snyder as a teamster has been trying to demoralize his fellow workmen and when they are in a drunken condition make use of their money and clothes. 

Tuesday night he got five workmen drunk and from Charles E Cooper it is alleged that he has stolen money upwards of $10 and a pair of pants. Wednesday morning he left for Detroit with a car-load of horses, but was that night arrested there by Sheriff Gillen, who found the pants and money in his possession. 

Jones tells so many stories that the police do not take any stock in any of his remarks. He tried to convince them that his father was the sheriff at Benton Harper and that he ought not to be arrested by a brother sheriff.
