Record in the West.
George K. Barrett. a crack western
'cyclist and general athlete, was born in
Spring Valley, o., twenty-five years ago.
He is just a shade under six feet tall and
weighs l55 pounds. Barrett, who is editor
of Bearings, a paper devoted to the inter
ests of cycling and honest sport, is one of
the best all round men In the country. In
1885 he anchored for the Company G, First
regiment, tug Of war team, which won the
championship OF the northwest. In the
following year he turned his attention to
wrestling, and at catch-as-catch-can style
won NO less than open contests
and the middle weight amateur champion
ship of the west.
In 1855 he made his debut on the cinder
path, and during the season he captured
twenty nine first and seven second prizes,
and established the following excellent
records: 100 yards, lO375s.; quarter mile.

Both alleged that they never received
more than small salary out Of the af-
fair. Downing added: Mortimer got
it all. We started in what believed to
be an honest building and loan business.
L believed Mortimer to be an honest
man, as | had known him in the insur-
ance business number of years previ-
ous."
Downing, who came here from Peoria,
refused to talk further about che work
OF the association. He is rather poor
ly dressed man and does not look
as though he has been sharing
the enormous profits. Vice-President
Tollman, on the contrary, looks ex-
tremely prosperous, although asserting
that he made nothing from the associa-
ton. He says he is an artist, and Nor
timer, who was his friend, asked permis-
sion to use his name as an incorpora or.
He consented, receiving no money. He
added that several weeks ago he and
Downing decided to send out circulars to
the stockholders, to see if some settle
ment couldn't be reached. They were
discussing these negotiations when ar
rested. Tollman admitted that since
the associations formation he knew of
$S1, 900 having been received.
Inspector Stuart said he was well sat
isfied that both the president and vice
president are not so innocent as they
pretend. "Both got badly bitten, " said
he, "but both were in the deal and
knew all about the swindling going on.
They didn't get much of the money,
Mortimer getting the bulk, and I have
not the least doubt that he got away
with $l50,000. If ever there was slick
man it was Mortimer. 1 have gone to
his Office time and again, disguised as
letter carrier, and seen him sign hum
dreds of fat registered letters containing
large amounts of money, and he smiled
sweetly every time the letters came in.
He is clever talker and smooth man
generally, and would convince almost
any one who talked with him five min
utes that he was the squarest business
man on EARTH"
Downing and Tollman were held in
$4,000 bonds each by Commissioner
Hayne. Both had lawyers on hand, and
Tollman was quickly bailed out. Down
ing was unable to secure bondsmen, and
spent the night in the custotdy of a
deputy marshal. One OF the attorneys
for the men said there was no doubt
that the concern was rotten to the core,
but he believed Downing and Tollman
were simply victims of Mortimer's
guile.
One of the peculiar features of the
case is the fact that the association was
endorsed by two prominent commercial
agencies. The concerns affairs ere ex-
rmined closely but the evidences of
prosperity were 20 great, that the agents
made favorable reports. For some rea-
son the concern did not operate very
extensively in Illinois. Indiana. Ken
lucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania. New York
and the southern states were worked to
some extent, but the majority of the
victims live in the states west of the
Mississippi.

A small stream four miles north of
Lerdo, which, prior to the earthquake,

necessary to cross the water course six
