American Fork World: =. NJ. Wes-
sells, formerly q Kaysville hoy, but
who for nearly year has been man
aging the American Fork creamery
tor Jones d Taylor, is wanted by his
employers on charge OF emhezzle-
ment. He left American Fork on
Wednesday evening, ostensibly ON
visit TO his nelghboring town OF Lehi,
but he failed to return and Seth Z.
jones, the senior member Uf the cream-
cry company who was in American
Fork at the time, soon began 10 "smell
mouse" He thought Vessels had
acted very strangely ever since he
(JOnet) had come to town. He thought
ut firsI, however, that Wessels's con-
nection with the famous alleged con-
splrRcy to burn the Boley House was
the caIse of his queer conduct. But
farther investigation soon developed
the fact that the youth was also short
In his accounts. 1t was no wonder he
had failed to again show up. He had
collected Sll9 from the Chapman Mer-
camille company anu failed TO give
proper credit, having presumably
pocketed the money for his own uss.
He had done likewise vita the Amer
lean Fork coop to the tune OF STA,
also with Mercer and Greenwood Tor
$50, bpsides playing much havoc with
numerous oibeTs, amounting in oil TO
about $500. A rumor has bean circu-
lated around town that late investiga-
ton shows him 10 be short only Sl60,
but this Ia not the case. Papers were
Issued Tor the immediate arrest o. the
hssty youth. But he has evaded the
officers 30 far, however, chiefly be-
cause the force al Ogden waited for a
reward instead OF arresting him at
once while he was In that city. In
conversation with MI. Jones of
the creamery company we learn that
the chase has been given up, as Wes-
sells is supposed to be In Mexico; his
mother lives u short distance this side
OF the Mexican line III New Mexico.
1t would cost considerable money TO
get him back here for trisl, 81 ths h ope
OF capturing him must be given up rs
The company has lost all through him
that they ieel like parting with. Wee
sells is sharp, quick witted fellow anu
the Numerous iriends he has made
here are very sorry to see him using
his energies In this way. Everybody
Is surprised al his actions OF late, MS
even the officers and businesa men had
the utmost confidence in him.
