YORK, Neb, Aug. 17.-(Special) )-The
prolonged absence Of H. II. Howard, a
photographer who recently located in this
city and who left a few weeks ago for parts
unknown, is a source of some anxiety to
ID a number Of York business men. Howard
is a skilled photographer, and he soon
worked up a good business here. His ex-
penditures for livery rigs and new clothing
We're evidences of his prosperity. But he
lived a trihe too high, and as a consequence
he was compelled to evade the ever-increas-
ing number of bill collectors by leaving
town. Upon the earnest assurances of his
partner, Mr.. Williams, who has been stay
ing here to finish up few photographs, that
Howard would be back in a few weeks he
having gone east to settle up an estate, the
merchants whom he has let down have
patiently waited for his appearance; but
when Williams also left the city Sunday
night, the last hope Of Howard's return died
away and his victims admit getting beaten.
The Photographic outfit that Howard used
is still here, but as 1t was leased from Mrs.
w. l.. Lee, whose husband formerly operated
the gallery, it cannot be attached by the
creditors. 1t is understood that this is not
the first city in which Howard and Williams
have operated in like manner:
