the door, but instead he opened il and
stepped on the outside, locking the door
after him.
The reporter handed him the above
clipping from the Kiowa paper, and
after reading il over carefully, said
with apparent disgust:
They have not even paid their help.
It looks to me that the Kiowa paper

in good shape. There are men coming

Several enquiries have come TO this
office lately enquiring in regard 10 the
Campbell Produce company and en-
quiry was made yesterday Of the men
in charge OF the building formerly oc-
cupied by the Campbell Produce COM
pany.
The following is from the Kiowa Re-
views
For several weeks a firm known as
the Compbell Produce company of
Wichita. Kan, has been buying poul
try, butter and eggs of our merchants
and farmers. The agent for this point
was j. l.. Purcell. For the last two
weeks the agent has been paying for all
purchases by check on the Wichita
house, later by checks on the Bank of
Douglas. When the little pieces of pa
per were sent in for collection they
were returned marked no fund At
first nothing was thought of the matter
as the holders Of the checks had unlim-
tied faith in the agent and supposed
there was only a clerical error which
would be Strengthened out and the
checks paid. But it seems that the
Campbell Produce company has reach
ed the conclusion that IT is time 70 go
ont of business and let the holders
squeeze the sack in the way of eXper-
fence while they turn their affairs over
to bank TO close up the machine This
company has been operating through

pulled the rope on all of them for from
three 20 five hundred dollars. We would
like TO know how the Campbell Pro-
duce company busted without having
dollar left for the men who have been
furnishing them with produce? 1t
looks like skin game of the first
water and those interested should adj
vance enough money to have thor

clan long to figure out that some one
has MIXED the. people for about$25, 900,
and the guilty parties-if they are gull
ty-should be landed in the peniten-
tiary. 1t is understood here that Camp
bell of the produce company is the
Campbell who is cashier of the Bank of
Douglas, which bank is closing out the
produce company under chattel martg-
age. This may explain why no one but
the bank is in the pudding. SO far as
we have been able to learn no blame is
attached TO Mr.. Purcell but the par
ties swindled think he should stay with
them and make the company disgorge.'
