FORMER CONVICT WORKS SHERIFF
Others who Tried TO Help Man Also
VictimiHed,

FREMONT, Neb Aug. 9.-(special Tele-
gram.)-Ed L.. Taylor, a discharged con
Wet, who has been working for Sherin
Bauman, is missing and also about $500
which he had conhdenced from his friends,
and a diamond belonging to the sheriff, a
couple OF revovers and other things. Tay-
lor was sent up from this county about
year and half ago for horse stealing. 1t
was believed by a good many, including the
sheriff. that he was a victim OF circum-
stances and shortly after he was parolled
ne came to Fremont, stopping at the jail
where he kept the sheriff's books, did err
rands and rendered him much assistance
He was a genial, good appearing we'll edu-
Gated man, who had travelled extensively
and had an honorable discharge from the
army service in the Philippines during the
spanish-Am war, and Mr.. Bauman
became much interested in him and had
confidence in his intentions to redeem his
reputation. His term expired last week.
After he had received his discharge he
obtained from party here S165 with which
TO purchase a horse. He also obtained from
several parties smaller sums of money on
the strength Of a check for $3.50 on Gin
cinnati bank which he said had been sent
him by a relative Everything was sup
posed to be all right until this afternoon
when the check was returned through the
Commercial National bank as worthless. II
was then learned that Taylor left last night,
purchasing a ticket for Omaha. Before
leaving he had gone to a jewery store and
obtained a diamond belonging TO the sher-
iff telling the proprietor that Mr. Bauman
had sent him after IT, The total amount OF
money he obtained, it is thought, will reach
$500 besides the diamond and revolvers,
which are worth $3.50 more No trace OF
him has yet been obtained. Mr.. Bauman
is much wrought up over the matter az he
had hefriended him and assisted him as far
as possible, regarding him faithful and
reliable employe. Descriptions Of him have
been sent TO the police Of all the cities and
towns iE this vicinity and east and south,
and II is hoped he will be sooner or later
apprehended.

OIL COMPANY ASKS FAVOR
Standard representative Calls on
President to Talk over Leases
in Territory.

OYSTER BAY. L. l., Aug. 9.-President
Roosevelt was appealed to by the Standard
oil company today in the matter Of it's
controversy with the Department OF the
Interior regarding oil line leases in the
Indian Territory. Former Senator James
X Jones Of Arkansas. representing the
company In a legal capacity and MI
Barnesdale of Pittsburg. representing the
company directly, were callers at Saga
more Hill today. They arrived on the
morning train and after spending several
hours with the president returned to New
York in an automobile Both declined to
discuss the object OF their visit.
Mr.. Jones said the call related purely to
a matter OF business and he refused to say
what results were accomplished. The oil
lease controversy in the Indian Territory
has been a matter of lively contention be-
fore the Department OF the Interior for
some time and the status OF these leases
was made the subject of protracted con-
sideration by congress in the recent state
hood legislation.
