perturbed since learning Of the dis
crepancy that it is feared he might at
tempt some injury 10 himself The
matter has caused q decided sensation
in ogden. but the manner in which Mr.
Meighan has borne himself during the
affair inspires confidence in him, and
many believe that if he is responsible
for the shortage il is through careless
ness and not dishonesty.

Mr.. Meighan Talks.
While the officers refused to talk
about the affair Mr.. Meighan talked
freely about it this afternoon and said
he cOurted a thorough investigation 81
the whole matter. He was at the
postOfflee about 5 O'Clock this afternoon
and at that time stoutIy denied that
ne had been guilty Of taking anything
that didn't belong to him. lie also
declared that no other emplOye Of the
office could have done so. He said be
did not know where the money could
have gone, but had nothing TO conceal
and wanted a thorough investigation
made.
Mr. Meighan left the postofice a lit
tie after o'clock and could not De
found by any OF his friends who were
searching for him tonight They do
not think for a moment that he Is
man who would run away under such
circumstances. Their greatest fear is
that he might do himself some injury.
He has been through most trying or
deal since he learned Of the discrep-
ancy and has slept hardly a wink for
the last three nights.
Clerks Believe Him Innocent.
The whole force in the postofice are
standing firmly behind Mr.. Meighan
and they do not believe he made away
with the money.
1t is known though that Mr.. Meighsn
was addicted to the use Of liquor when
he went into the pOst0ffice. he quit for
a time but of late it is said he has been
drinking rather heavily again.
