April 23, 1911 — The grand jury last Monday indicted S.V. Wright who is wanted in this county for obtaining money under false pretenses. Wright is a native of this county, but for some time has been in Philadelphia and elsewhere. While here last summer he had a check on some bank in Philadelphia cashed at the Bank of Shenandoah, which in due time was returned, “no funds.” As usual in such cases, the Bank has left no stone unturned in its efforts to get him, and as the wheels of justice are now on his track it is to be hoped that in due time the mills of the gods, which are said to grind slowly but finely, may do the proper thing with his grist.
