Kaufman disappeared from here last

claims that he went TO Wichita and other

did with all the money, $3.50, but says he
loaned some of it To Bud. Snow and some
to Mike Cayanaugh; but of course these

IL looks that Jerry is in a bad row of
stumps and this is to be regretted, for he
could have had many friends here. His
own conduct has brought on this trouble.
