IOWA FARMER FLEES
Is Under a Cloud in Wayne
4. County.
BADLY WANTED BY AUTHORITIES
Alleged That William George, Son Of
Prominent Farmer, has Defrauded
Wayne and Lucas County Banks
Out of Large Sum of Money.

Corydon, Jan. g. Especial Will
liam George, son of Richard George,
a prominent farmer of Wright town
ship, this county, is badly wanted by
several parties in Wayne and Lucas
counties on the charge of having dis
posed of mortgaged property.
On October 10 last George shipped
two cars of cattle from Seymour to
Chicago. This stuff, it is alleged, was
mortgaged, but the shipment was kept
quiet until few days ago. He claimed
to those to whom the mortgage was
given that he had the sixty head Of
cattle in field in Appanoose county.
A few days ago the Citizens State
bank of this place learned that George
intended shipping car of cattle from
Russell last Sunday. The bank had
a mortgage of $500 on this lot, and
succeeded in getting George before
the cattle left the station and had the
carload consigned to the Bank OF
Promise City. This leaked out, and it
is now learned the Charlton National
bank also had mortgage on the cat
tie. George was arrested and placed
under $500 bond, but Friday night, it
has just been learned, he left the
country. The amount involved will
probably amount to $4,000 or $4,000.
George was in trouble here once be-
fore On the charge of having forged
his fathers name to a note, but Mr..
George, Sr., would not prosecute him.
George is about 30years of age, full,
smooth face, hair almost white, ;.bout
6 feet and weighs 225 pounds.

a farmhouse belonging to Tom Goo
kin south of Charlton, was destroyed
by fire. The house was occupied by
Mr.. Eaton, who was the only person in
the house at the time and was in one
of the upstairs rooms asleep, the bal
ance of the family being away on a
visit. The fire was discovered by one
OF the neighbors, Ora Scales, who hap
pened to look out the window and dis
cover the light. He gave an alarm and
ran to the burning house where he
aroused the occupant who was yet
asleep. Perhaps, if it had not been for
the timely warning of Mr.. Scales, Ea-
ton would have been suffocated and
burned to death. The origin of the
flre is unknown, but the superstition is
that it caught from heater in room
down stairs where most of the. fire
seemed to be when Mr.. Scales ar
rived. Aside from a few articles they
were unable to save anything.
