1t appesrs that there is some crookedness
in the following trausactiou: On the 23i OF
last mon'h James F. Troiter purchased full
control and interest in the livery stable
known as Paden's livery stable, SITUATED in
Primrose alley, between Main ard High
streets. paying therefor the sum of 81 900.
AT the time when the sale was made Paden
stated that the property sold was free from
incumbrance OF any kind, aud that he pos
sessed clear ulle to the horses, buggies, etc
Mr. Trotter, putting too great a confidence in
this statement, paid the money without look
ing further into the matter. Last Monday,
on going 10 pay his rent 10 the owner of The
building in which the stable is locaIed, he re-
ceived a hiat that there was something
crooked in the transaction. and, on inquiry
at the Recorders ofice, found that
there existed ohattel mortgages TO the
amount OF 81 900 on the horses and harness.
Further investigation brought to light the
fact that Paden never owned the buggies,

gone to Dayton and returned that afternoon,
when Mr.. Trotter confronted him with the
proofs of his deception he was asked to wait
until the next day when all should be satisfac-
torily settled. Thinking it only ruse to
gain time for escape, Mr.. Trotter refused TO
wait and at once put tie machinery of the
law in molion. This, however, IS prove bial-
ly SLOW, and Paden in the meantime shook
The dus; Of this unrighteous city from his
shoes with such good effect that he has not
been seen nor heard Of since Some think he
has gone TO Canada to join Emo in a banking
establishment. but this is only conjecture.
His lawyer and friends have been
makiag vigorous efforts to compromise
the matter, but so far without success.
In conversation yesterday MS
attorney, J. J. Miller, said-"This thing will
undoubtedly be settled by Padeu paying of
the mortgage and making good the title In
the meantime | am the only person who
knaws where Paden is hiding, and can't
communicate with him while so closely
watched Ed Wallace is pushing this mat
ter for Trotter and acts as though he Intended
pushing ii pretty vigorously.
Fred Brown, the reporter who succeeded in
stirring up such a sensation in Georgia as to
cause several criminal libel suits 10 be
brought against himself and the proprietor
OF the Enquirer, is the same young man who
wrote up the Second National Bank troubles
for The Enquirer. When Charley Winters
first started the Springfield Globe he took
Brown TO Springfield and placed him in
charge of the city department, telling him to
make lively paper. Brown made it so
lively that Winters was waited upon by
delegation OF enraged citizens every day as
soon as the paper made its appearance on the
streets. Winters came 10 the conclusion that
the paper ives becoming too lively, and sent
Brown back TO Cincinuati.-Xenia Gazette.
