A RAsCALLY OPERATOR.
Run Away With a $l0O Express
Package of His Employer

On Friday evening, among other
packages that came addressed to
parties here was one addressed to
II, Machol & Co., brokers, from
Ashdown, containing one hundred
dollars. Mr. Ross Bradley the
driver for the Wells Fargo Express
company, in making his rounds,
found that II, Machols house was
closed but that the telegraph oper-
ator, Mr. George Bierly, who takes
the market from the wires, wa2 out
in front, aud told Mr. Bradley that
he would sign Tor It, Whereupon
Mr. Bradley delivered it, thinking
the young man honest and straight.
Bierly signed for the package in
the name OF II, Machol q Co., and
afterwards visited oeveral saloons
and Dawdy houses, aud in slang
parlance, "blowed" himself for
quite a sum, and it is sup posed he
left here on the early morning train
for st, Louis.
Mr. Machol, yesterday morning
alter business opened presented
himself before the express paying
teller aud asked for the package,
as he knew it was coming When
matters was explained to him about
the delivery he said the young man
had no authority to sign his name
for the package and that's he would
look to the company for the full
amount After Machol returned to
his Office he found written on the
margin Of newspaper a line from
his operator which said, 81 am
gone, make the express company
pay the money and was signed
"Bierly'
The officers OF the city were put
10 work on the case aud every dive
In the city was visited in search Of
the young man, but he could not
be found, The express company
viii pay the amount, but they will
take It out Of Mr., Ross Bradley's
wages In all probability, as they
hold their employees strictly ac-
couutabIe for all such losses,
Mr. Bradley can hardly be blamed
In making the delivery as most any
one would have done likewise unless
he had received Just such a lesson
before, We hope the officers can
locate Blerly and bring hm back
and give him a taste Of high pen.
