Charged With Embezzlement.

Charged With Embezzlement.
Thursday Sheriff G. l.. Lewis,
of Crittenden coutry, Ark, came
to Lafayette to take back with
him D. G. Wells, assistant chief
dispatcher in the local railroad
Office, who had some days pre-
viously been arrested at the in
stance of the Arkansas author
tiles.
Sheriff Lewis stated in re.
Spouse to an inquiry as to the
details of the case that he knew
nothing except that Mr. Wells
was charged with embezzlement
by the National Security Co., of
Kansas City,, but that Mr.. Wells
stood well at his home town and
had some influential friends.
Mr.. Wells was seen at the Jail
and asked for a statement. He
said that he was not guilty of
wrong doing, and that the charge
was made in an effort to force
him to pay for goods consumed
by fire when the depot was burn
ed at Earle, Ark, where he was
agent. Under the Arkansas law,
agents are required to notify
consignees of the arrival of
goods in order to release the
railroad or express companies
from liability as common carriers
which makes them responsible
for the goods. Notice being
given. they become merely ware
housemen, and in case of loss,
consignee must prove negligence
or carelessness to recover. The
loss occurred at Christmas time,
when having such a rush of bust
ness he delayed sending notices.
