LYFORD WILL RETURN
After Chase Lasting Year and Cow
ering Thousands of Miles, Embezzler
Is Caught and Admits His Identity.

Special to Times Republican.
| Davenport, Sept. 4.-The case of AL
| bert II. Lyford, the deputy treasurer of
Rock Island county, Illinois. who en-
bezzle,l the county funds and then dis
appeared, and who has just been ar
rested in Victoria, B. c., is of especial
| interest in eastern Iowa. Lyford dis
appeared year ago and the hunt has
been i.nceasing. Lyford has confessed
to the embezzlement of $4,000. An es-
tlmate from an unofficial source places
the amount at $4,000. Meanwhile his
principal in the Office has retired on the
remnants of The fortune which he pos
sessed prior to the disappearance of
his deputy, to his little farm, where he
seeks to make ends meet. An officer
has started from Rock Island for Ly-
ford aud in about twelve days Will re-
turn with the prisoner. Lyford has
consented to return here, where his
crushed wife awaits him and where a
term in prison will undoubtedly be his
lot.
One year ago tonight Albert E. Ly-
ford, Then deputy treasurer of Rock
Island county, disappeared from his
home in Rock Island. He left note
stating he would return on the next
Monday. The date rolled around and
Treasurer Cox began to get alarmed.
A few more days passed and 1t became
evident that Lyford's absence meant
something. Mr.. Cox started an investi-
cation and in a day or so announced
that L,ford was short $1,000. In a few
days more 1t was announced that the
deputy had converted $4,000 to his own
use belonging to the county.
Meanwhile he had destroyed the bond
which he had given the treasurer. This
forced the entire loss upon Treasurer
Cox. who has refunded the money and
is now out of one time comfortable
fortune. He has few acres of ground
in the country near Rock Island where
he is endeavoring to make out living.
For months no clue to Lyford's
whereabouts could be found. From a
relative in California 1t was found that
Lyford was in that state. An officer
was sent there. but the bird had flown
into Canada. There all trace of him
was lost until Wednesday night, when
a telegram came from the authorities at
Victoria, B. c., stating that a man an
swerins, Lyford's description had been
caught. Another came yesterday say
ing the man admitted his identity and
had confessed his crime. He also agreed
70 return to Rock Island without trou-
hie. Sheriff Heider Immediately sent
an officer for the embezzler.
