e ll.knOwn Former Grain Buyer
CHARGED With Embezzle.

c. r. Campbell, who for several
We RS was the local agent for the Feri
guson Elevator Company, was arrested
at Haigler, Neb., Sunday by Sheriff
Macarthur and brought back to Red
Cloud for trial upon the charge of
having embezzled a large amount of
the company's funds. 1t is said Camp |
bells pecul,tions will amount to
81, 8Si.80.
Campbell was taken before Judge
Keeney Monday, but his preliminary
hearing was postponed until Thursday. |
fter a preliminary hearing lasting
all day Yesterday and this forenoon
Campbell was held to the district
court in the sum of $1,000
Charley ~Campbell's downfall is
directly traceable to the gambling
houses which have been in operation
in this city for so long a period, and
more particularly to the "bucket shop"
which was operated openly in the
Royal Hotel building. Campbell was
working on a small salary, but had the
tastes Of a millionaire. in and order to
crafty his taste for booze and his
passion for gambling he used his
employers money to speculate on the
board of trade in the hope Of winning
"A fortune
But fortune refused to smile upon
him, and his losses caused him to
resort to heavy drinking and neglect
OF business, which finally resulted in
his discharge from the services of the
elevator company last fall In the
me ntime he had become %entangled
with a well-known woman of the town,
and in company with her he went to
Haigler, where they took adjoining
claims and lived together, passing
themselves off AS brother and sister.
1t is said that people of the neighbor
hood became aware of their true rela-
tons and that the women administered
a flogging to "Rose" and warned her
20 leave. 1t is also said that Camp
bell had made threats that If anyone
attempted to arrest him he would kill
that person. At the time of his arrest
Campbell had in his home a Winchest-
er rifle and other fir arms, but he
offered no resistance when Sheriff Nc
Arthur served the papers.
Charley Campbell had many friends
he Q and was we'll liked by all who
were personally acquainted with him,
but his liking for strong drink CON
bined with IA passion for gambling and
the wiles of an INSCRIPTIONS harlot
were his undoing
There had been rumors for a long
time that he WAS short in his accounts
but no one ~suspicioned that his short
ages would reach such n large figure
He was under bond to the elevator
company, but one of the provisions OF
the bond, which was furnished by {
guaranty company, was thai the comp
any should check up his accounts a
least n each year, This the com
pany failed to do and as a consequence
the elevator company's loss is com

lads who have entertained suspicion
that Julius Heinke, enc of their num-
Der, knows more about the McCarty
alleged murder case than he has told
the authorities, decided to take the
law in their own hands and force the
young Heinke to give up information.
They took him into a barn and first
threatened to beat him If he did not
tell what he knows of the case.
Heinke refused and they then pro-
ceeded to administer the promised
beating. The lad still insisted he
knew nothing further and finally he
was released.
Heinke was employed on the Nc
Carly farm on the night of the alleged
murder. His silence in the case
strengthens the belief that he knows
some important facts in the mystery
for which Kabat is in jail
