Owes $1,000 to His Creditors.

Quite q sensation has been caused in
this community by the disappearance
of A. W. Estlake, well known and
formerly much respected business man
}Qf this village.
Mr.. Estlake was one OF the members
of the Quincy Shoe Store Company, a
firm that was organized two years ago
last August, OF which Mr.. E. E. Bine-
gar and F. E. Southard were also mem
bers.
About two weeks ago the partner
ship existing between these gentle
men was dissolved by mutual consent,
the last named gentleman retiring from
the firm, while Mr.. Estlake assumed
entire charge Of the business, retain
ing the services of Mr.. Binegar, as
clerk.
After few days experience in try
ing to manage both q dry goods and
grocery business, Mr.. Estlake came to
the conclusion that on account of his
age and infirmities, he was unable SO
to do, and sold his stock Of dry goods
and notions to N. r. Sammett, of Yer
sailles, for 81, 700.
On Thursday evening he made ar
rangements with Mr.. Binegar to take
the stock Of groceries of his hands in
consideration of which he was to liaui-
date a debt of Mr.. Estlake's to the
amount Of the purchase price agreed
upon.
Mr.. Sammett removed the stock of
dry goods to his store at Versailles last
Thursday, and gave Estlake check
for 81, 100 which he agreed to deposit
in Sidney bank for the benefit OF the
who lesale houses from whom the goods
had been purchased, and who held bills
against the company to the amount OF
S2. 300, which Indebtedness Estlake as
sumed when the dissolution of partner
ship occurred and the stock OF goods was
turned over to him. After the trans
of the business was made Estlake
borrowed $4,000 from J. E. Sims, of
this village. which amount he paid out
to creditors, leaving q debt of 81, 800 re-
naming.
On Friday morning he left Quincy
for Sidney, stating to Mr.. Binegar that
he would get Mr.. Sammett's check
cashed and would make arrangements
toward payment of the remainder of
the debt,
But Friday came and went, and Est
lake did not make his appearance ac-
cording to promise. Saturday and Sun
day passed away and rs there was still
no trace Of that gentlemen, his business
associates began to have an indetinable
fear that he had absconded with the
money belonging to his creditors.
However, as Mr.. Estlacke had always
borne q good reputation, they were 10th
to suspicion him as being dishonest, and
it was not until they came to the con-
clusion that he had becomea defaulter
and fugitive from justice.
Such, however, has proven to be the
case, and up to the present riting his
whereabouts is unknown, but the gen.
eral opinion Is that he is either in
Kansas, where he resided for number
of years, or in Virginia where he has
relatives,
Every means should be used to cap
ture the ,defaulter, and II he be proven
guilty of intentional fraud, he should be
prosecuted and punished to the full ex-
tent of the law.
Messrs. Binegar and SOuthard, who
are heavy losers, have the sympathy of
the entire community.

Mass Meetings. Again.

Some two or three years ago, the Re
publicans of the county put their sea
of condemnation on the methods of tn,
old gang that had ruled out the people
and were running the party for theil
lown selfish ends, by means Of mass con
ventions. These conventions were ma
nipulated by trickery, packed by wart
heelers from Bellefontaine, and the
Republicans of the county were count
led out like the blacks in the South.
The result was, the people arose ir
their wrath and wrested the party
management from the hands OF the
gang; and since then there have been
no mass conventions, but all nomina-
| tions have been made at county prima.
ries. aud delegates selected by delegate
conventions made mp Of delegates cho-
sen at township primaries. There has
been no fraud since this was done, no
switching of tickets by corrupt judges,
no burning of ballots, no declaration Of
tie to defeat candidate fairly nomi-
nominate a candidate without submit
ting the matter to vote Of the people.
The result OF this change has been,
that the Republicans of the county
have chosen their own candidates, and
the Republican majority in the county
has been largely increased.
OF course the gang was displeased
and have never let up in their purpose
to down those who were instrumental
10 bringing about their defeat, and In
their purpose to get into power again.
Nor have the Democrats been pleased
with the changed situation. They rec
ognize the fact that fair methods In the
Republican party have strengthened
it with the people.
Very naturally, these displeased ele-
ments woald affiliate, and this they did
at the election last FallI when they vo.
ted for the Democratic nominee for
Commissioner, against the Republican
who had been fairly chosen
at the Republican primary, and whose
character they had endorsed by twice
voting for him at the primary for the
same Office.
Again, these two classes were found
working together, at the election of
members of the Agricultural Board,
last Saturday, the Democrats to reward
the gang who voted for their ticket last
Fall, and the. gang to beat those who
ousted them from power. The people
who voted their honest sentiments, for
the good of the Fair, saw none of this,
but it was the leading feature of the
play.
That this thing is turning the Fair
into q political machine,
goes without saying. If 1t continues,
Ia will destroy the Fair. These cleo
lions as conducted, are only the old
mass meetings, warmed over. They
are managed in the same way
The proper thing is to abandon these
Bellefontaine elections, and let each
choose its own member of the
Board, in the township. We advocat-
ed this last winter. AS result we
1idn't get dollars worth of printing
,r advertising for the Fair, last Fall
But we were right then, and we are
tight now. If the Fair is to preserve
It's usefulness, and not be managed to |
ieath, it must not be permitted to be- |
come political machine, to be run by
any cabal at Bellefontaine.
Safety will be found in distributing
the management to the people of the |
townships.
