came to grief on account of certain transac-
tons in fertilizers which he has not been abls
to explain satisfactorily. O'Donnell l. Co..
who deal extensively ia fertilizers, found
themselves short twenty two sacks of cotton
seed meal and could not account for the
shortage for several dars, although the most
careful and paiDstskiu9 investigation was
made By The merest accident it was learned
that Joe Green WAS doing fertilizer business
on his own account, ard was selling cotton
seed meal at a heavy discount from II arket
prices This was suspicious circumstance,
and after little quiet work it was ascertain
ed that the meal be bad sold came from
O'Donnell l. Co.'s stock at the depot and
that Green was in the habit of obtaining bis
stock during the night. Hence his career as
fertilizer broker was brought to sudden
