One, Andrew Berg, became obstre- perous, and Marshal Potts proceeded to take him in. During the struggle he pro- duced a knife and made a lunge at the marshal, the blade sticking some books in his pocket. John C. Berg, wanted in Warsaw, Wisconsin, for the embezzlement of $14,047.26 of the funds of Marathou Coun- ty, while County treasurer in 1893-4, was found at Simp- son's shingle mill by Sheriff Vogtlin, Tuesday, and taken into custody...With their usual gall the Seattle police are throwing boquets at themselves for this capture, but the credit belongs to our efficient Sheriff Vogtlin.
