Frank Garner was arrested on the charge of getting money under false pretenses. He is a colored man who has been gathering in subscriptions for the Detroit Informer, a paper for Afro-Americans. He formerly worked on this paper, but has been discharged and it is claimed was simply taking subscriptions and putting the money down in his own pockets. He is said to have taken 21 subscriptions in Yspilanti and 7 in this city. He was taken before Justice Doty, pleaded not guilty and his examination was set for Monday. He is believed by the officers to be an old offender.
