CONFESSED And RAN
Charles w. Wright Admits, Under
Pressure, Having Swindled
Forman, Ford & Co.
Before Warrant Can Be Made Out,
However, He Leaves the
City.

Charles w. Wright, who has for the
| last few years held q responsible posi-
| tion with Forman, Ford & CO., left the
| city hurriedly last evening. after con-
| Tossing to his employers that he had
swindled them out Of a large sum Of
| money. .g
Wright held a position as a city
salesman, and incidentally was in the
| shipping room much of the time. His
game, which was an exceedingly bold
one, was discovered at the noon hour
last Saturday by the shipping clerk.
Wright had sent 800 pounds of white
/ lead to q paint shop on Lake street
and had numbered the order the same
as similar one earlier in the day.
| The order was approved by the man
ager and given back to him, and then
was Immediately destroyed.
AS soon as it was discovered that he
had duplicated the order he was asked
the whereabouts of the lead. He re-
plied tthat he had sent it to retail
merchant, but that it had been re-
turned, as the men did not want it at
! the time.
This was where Wright was caught,
for the shipping room door had been
locked during the entire noon hour
and it would have been impossible for
q driver to return 1t.
The matter was Immediately inves-
| tigated anQ it was learned that the
man had been selling white lead at
reduced rates to several retail mer-
chants. claiming he had purchased it
from Junk peddlers. The check was
always made out in his own name.
! During the last year he has taken
from Forman, Ford & Co. over $1,000
worth of white lead. One check alone
| amounted to $50.
At first Wright denied the charge,
bat when shown the checks and con-
| fronted with the statements of his
| customers he made full confession
FIe was told that he would be prose
cuted, but, before a warrant for his
arrest could be secured he left the
I city, telling his wife he had better
! position in Chicago.
This is the second time Wright has
| been in trouble

TWO !! SALES SET ron DECEMBER
OLD REGULATIONS ARE AMEND
Ed BY THE LAND DEPART
.MENT.5 /. III. Y.

Washington, Aug. 90. 5- An order was
issued at the interior department yes
terday> extending the time for the re-
novel Of the timber to be sold in De
cember on the Chippewa reservations
of Minnesota. Operators will be given
five years in which the timber shall
have been removed from the reserva-
lions. Two sales are set for Decem-
ber,, the timber on the reservations
proper is to be disposed of on Dec. 5,
while that on the forest reserve set
apart by Clifford Pinchot is to be sold
on Dec. %.
In the case of the former the regu-
lations recently promulgated provided
that the timber should be removed
by July /, 1905, and in the latter, July
|, 1907. The extension Of five years,
or until July 1. 1908, applies to these
two sales only. The timber to be sold
hereafter will be dealt with in supple
mental regulations now in course of
preparation.
Several other important amend
ments to the regulations &c ,rning the
December sales have also been made
by Land Commissioner Richards. One
of them is in relation to the amount of
timber that shall be removed each
year, and another in reference to
The Bond to Be Filed
by purchasers. Operators will be re-
quired to remove Is per cent of the
timber covered by their contracts be-
fore July 1, 1905, and 20 per cent adj
ditional each year until July 1, 1905.
The order of the commissioner re-
ducing the amount Of the bond is an
important one and was decided upon
as result of letters received from
Minnesota and other, Northwestern
operators. Under the old regulations
operators were required to file a bond
in twice the amount Of the value
of their purchase of timber.
In view of the fact that
purchaser is required by the Morris
act to deposit 20 per cent Of the
amount called for in his contracts the
new bond fixed by the commissioner
is regarded as ample to protect the
Indians and the government from any
loss.
Land Commissioner Richards said
that 1t was not possible to forecast &C
curately when the department would
be in a position to announce sales in
addition to those set for Dec. S and
%. The classification Of lands is not
yet completed.
