A FARMER.
That is the Charge Against W.
Wade of LYONS. Kansas.

Kansas City, Aug. 18.-Sheriff T. F.
Hicks, of Lyons, returned to thai place
last night with w. E. Wade in custody.
The prisoner is charged with the em-
bezzlement of $500 from a farmer by the
name of Scheib. living in Rice county,
near Lyons. Detectives Winstead and
Dwyer assisted in making the arrest.
Hicks learned that Wade was in Kan
sas City, and yesterday afternoon while
in the of the detectives was
found at Eighth and Walnut streets.
The precautiOn to secure requisition pa
pers for his removal to Lyons had been
previously looked after, so the man
could not contest his removal from Mis-
souri, to Kansas.
The manner in which the $500 is aid
to have been secured is a rather novel
one. Scheib owed $2,1 0 to a loan and
investment company which was push
ing him hard for an adjustment, and
he made a proposition to Wade that h
cepted the arrangements suggested by
the farmer for the ansfe of the in
debtedness to Wade. It was agreed that
Scheib vas to draw a draft on Wade for
the full 81, 1O0;he was to honor the draft
and pay the money over to the loan
and investment The deal was
carried out as planned, but Wade, it is
alleged, did not perform his part of the
agreement. 1t is asserted that he paid
only 81, 900 on the original $500, and
continued a mortgage for $500 or
the interest on the $500 accrued Wade
paid it. In some manner Scheib became
acquainted with the state of affairs and
he swore out a warrant for the arrest
of Wade charging him with embezzle-
ment.

500 miles in western They
were out ten days, and came nome
looking like part Indians, n a GOOD

south as far as FairvieW. and visited
every town along and near that route
They Travelled at the rate of about II
miles an hour, including stops to go IN
swim ing whenever hey came across
a suitable place to plunge in. They ate
heartily and slept on counters and
places like that better than on one OF
the richest curled hair n mattresses Of the
Palmer ouse. They ran across one
hotel where the landlord charged for his
beds as he did for his drinks, Is cents
each or two for a quarter.
The eating was good, according to
Colonel Fitch, and he ought to know.
for he was a soldier. Fat chickens
greeted them in all of the smaller towns.
The party had great fun with their
automobile. al in all but one of the
towns they visited it was the first ma
chine seen there. Everybody wanted to
see 1t act. and the mechanically in
quisitive insisted on seeing the arrange
ment of the internal parts. They had
but one breakdown during the trip,
and that was trivial.
