j. W. Stafford. man who has been employed
in the Times Office as a reporter for several
months, very suddenly left the City on the
early train yesterday morning, leaving a note
in the post office stating that he had been
called away but would return in day or TIVE,
His sudden departure was thought strange,
but it is now somewhat explained by the dis
covery of the fact that he took with bin the
sum of $35 which was entrusted to him in a
sealed enveloped by one of the Times patrons
to deliver to that paper. 1t is thought that
several smaller sums have also been pilfered
BY him, which investigation will bring to
light. Mr.. Stafford was person of good ad.
dress, balongiDg to respectable family in
Dexter. This is the Times story. Mr.. SAT-
tord's friends cannot believe that he is thief
and think he will return.
