EAGLE, which stated that he had stolen 81

business here some time, who Is a married
man and whose father is a nUrseryman
near Sedgwick, says he heard of the theft
or loss the same day, he having purchased
a ticket that morning at that point for
Wichita. but that he should have been
accused of stealing so small a sum, or any
sum, worries him. The charge will be
answered on the Both of this month. In

item which should have said that ne had
been accused and arrested instead Of
making il so complete as who stole. etc /
