BUSSOM AND HIS FINE WORK.
A short time since Attorney j. {. John
son purchased lot on which was n new
house, nearly completed, the purchase
being made of n man named Harry Bus.
som. An abstract was furnished, and
after deducting the debts and liens
against the property the purchaser paid
Bussom Sc3j, and in addition to the alb
stract took the fellows affidavit that
there were no more liens against the
property Bussom took the money and
three hours afterward, with his wife,
was en- route to Missouri. 1t was not
two DAYS before two liens one for lumber
and one for plastcring were presented to
Mr.. johnson, and rs the forty-day limit
under the law for filing liens had not eN-
pircd, the parties holding them gave no.
tice that they should hold hlm for pay
ment. Without waiting to see how many
more unpaid claims Bussom had left
over the property, johnson obtained
rcquisition papers from the governor,
and learning that his man was at Hanni-
bal, Mo, the case was put in Detective
Powel'S hands with a warrant issued
from Justice Cochran, and a telegram
was sent ordering Bussom's arrest, which
was made. The officer expects to have
his man here by Friday. Mr.. johnson
finds, on inquiry, that the same fellow
has been diSpoSing of mortgaged prop
erty in this city previous to leaving, and
that u number have been taken In on that
deal, making the case look rs though 1t
|, would be very interesting one, one for Mr..
again in Lincoln to answer for his acts in
u court of justice.
