SOME VAR|EGATED TH|tVING
After Stealing Several Hundred Dol
lars Worth. of Cement Material he
Took a Neighbours Wife

A rather complicated story of wrong
doing comes from the Cement plant
and the officials are on still hunt for
the wrong doors, thefts of material
worth several hundred dollars having
been discovered and traced to the
door of trusted employees.
About week ago on complaint of
A. Sharp, night watch at the plant,
Bob McClelland was arrested. 1t
seems that McClelland accused Sharp
of the grossest betrayal OF friendship
and made the declaration that he
would shoot him if the occurrence was
repeated. Sharpe swore out war
rant against McClelland for threaten
ing his life and the latter was arrest
and lodged in jail where he nowulies,
being unable to give bond.
In the peace and quiet of the jail
McClelland had time to think and the
result was that he informed the auth
critics that there had been syste-
matte stealing of material from the
ware house at the Cement plant, brass,
tools. copper. wire and rope to the
value of several hundred dollars hav-
ing been taken. One coil of rope
worth $3.50 was dumped entire into a
wagon one night and hauled away.
McClelland admitted that he was one
of the thieves but declared that Sharp,
the night watch, was the head organ
izer. The Cement Company was
notified and have verified the the5ts
but cannot tell their extent. Warrants
were issued for Sharp and another
man and the sheriff tried to serve
them Saturday, but discovered that
Sharp had disappeared.
Investigation disclosed that he had
gone a week ago. as if he had an idea
that McClellandmight turn states evil
dence after being arrested. SHARP
not only went, but he left his wife and
six children. the youngest a baby.
and Mrs. McClelland disappeared at
the same time. Very little evidence
has as yet been secured but piece by
piece the story is being verified
Messrs. Wheeler and Curtis went
down into Neosho county today to
4 examine a piece of rope which is sup
posed to be part of the stolen plumber
The rope is fine grade and has a
blue stripe in the middle, making il
easily identifable. and giving chance
to trace the theft.
The case against McClelland will
probably be dismissed and a state
case brought against the trio q
thieves.

This. the Ist OF December. according to
reports recently sent out from Chicago. is
the day on which the big meat producing
establishments, Armour & Co., Swift &
Co., and the Nelson Morris Company,
would impose an additional cent OF two
a pound on beef, veal. pork, and mutton.
There was no particular reason given why
this should be done. other than that their
concerns, substantially controlling the
meat market of the country. had the power
and would raise the price of meats of all
kinds simply to increase their profits.
But If the word OF the heads of branches
of these firms in Washington is to be re-
lied upon, the Chicago report was myth.
In fact. it is eontended by che Of the chief
men of the Armour Company here that
meat is furnished to retailers cheaper to-
day than it was year ago at this time.
and taat he is wholly ignorant of any in
tenti9n on the part of his company TO
put 10 prices
C. e. Lyman, manager OF the Washing
ton branch OF Swift & Co, with headquar-
tiers in the Center Market, said today
that he knew nothing Of an advance in
prices by his firm. He could not say that
meats would be cheaper, but there was 40
reason within mis- knowledge why prizes
should be advanced Mr. Lyman is a very
afIable gentleman who talks knowingly of
cattle, swine, and sheep. He explained
why, in the winter, beef might reasonably
be advanced in price The grass. he said,
was gone Cattle had 20 be fattened on
corn. This put extra cost on the farmer
or cattle raiser This extra expense fell
next upon the great Strengthening estab-
lishments. was then in turn borne by the
middle men or retailers and finally rested
upon the consumer
c. H johnson, Manager Of the beef de-
partment Of The Armour d Co. branch,
also located in the Center Market, was
ernphatie n his denial that beef had gone,
or would CO. up He said that he knew
NJ no reason why il should. There was
Eothing in the Chicago story. Retailers
60 deal with the Armour Company get
he stock as eheap, If not cheaper than
they did a year ago.
In seeking further information concern
ing the rumored intention OF The slaugh-
tering concerns to advance prices on their
product. it was inferred from things s5id
by meat dealers that the Chicago report
while, in fact, without foundation, had
worked harm 70 consumers in many parts
Of the country. II was intimated that the
report gave retailers a cue that many had
used, They raised the prices OF their
meats, twas said not because they laid
more or expected 10 pay more, TO the
Strengthening companies. but simply be-
cause the public had been told that prices
were going up and were prepared to pay
the advance, and the retailers took ad-
vantage of the situation TO add an extra
cent or two pound on sales 10 custo-
mers. and thus materially increase their
profits. while the Strengthening concerns
had to stand criticism for an act for which
they were not to blame
