business within a week or two when they
found the merchants prosperous and un-
willing TO sell. One young fellow was lucky
enough to find two retailers with stores
for sale, and these gentlemen asked to see
the advertisements In the 200 papers before
they would advance any money whatever.
This made things so hot for Walker that
he left town between two days.
Walker first operated in Des Moines, ac-
cording to the commercial agencies, having
in that city a fake drug concern in which
he cleaned UP a pile of money. Then, he
is said to have caught a lot of suckers in
Minneapolis and Sioux. City. Last spring
he organized an umbrella manufacturing
company in Council Bluffs, and under the
same plan on which he operated in Omaha,
received money from twenty or twenty-five
men. 1t seems that some of his partners
in that Venture were respectable men,
whom he had duped. and they did what
they could to smooth over his affairs, SO
that his fraud in that town never came to
light. From Council Bluffs he came to
Omaha, and began to harvest the coin
County Attorney Slabaugh has a list of
about twenty-five persons who gave him
money and have nothing to show for It,
While in Omaha Walker kept the money
In his pocket, which he collected during
the week, and every Saturday went to
Sioux City to deposit 1t.

he IL said to have frequently remarked to
those about him.

RUMBLE ACCUSES WALKER
Secretary Of Umbrella Concern Says Presi
dent Gouged Investors.
HEAD OF COMPANY IN SIOUX CITY
Declares He VIII Not Return without
Requisition and VIII Resist
the Issuance of the
Papers.

w. J. Rumple, secretary and treasurer OF
the Omaha Umbrella company, made
statement OF the AFFAIRS of the company
to County Attorney Slabaugh Thursday
and implicated c. II. Walker, the presi-
dent, who is now under arrest in Sioux
City, in some questionable transactions.
Rumple said Walker. by means of ad-
vertisements, induced a number of people
to invest from 500 to $500 in the business,
promising to return 1t later and in the
meantime give them jobs at from $50 to
500 month. He told the investors he
expected to get 5000 as bonus from the
Commercial club, and as soon as he re-
ceived the money he would repay them.
The money was then checked over to
Walker. II the investors demanded their
money back he gave them his personal
note, which is ssid to be worthless, his
property is all In his wife's name.
One old man who had invested all his
savings in the company completely col
lapsed and rainted away when he heard
the company had been closed out.
Walker has indicated he would refuse TO
return to Omaha without a requisition.
He also indicated he will put up fight TO
prevent the honoring Of the requisition-
Under Cloud Long Time.
The local Offices of the commercial agen-
cies have been keeping tab on Mr.
Walkers doings for more than year.
According to their records he came to
Omsha in May Of last year and launched
the Northwestern Real Estate and Invest
ment company, with Offices in the Neville
block, the name being changed shortly
after to the Northwestern Guaranty com
pany. This name was evidently selected
for effect. as Walker did not even pretend
to have anything to do with the real es-
tate business. He advertised for young
men who wanted good positions. and when
they called unfolded a scheme to them
which would make them 800 to 500 a
month and expenses He wanted them to
go into the country and find merchants who
wished to dispose of their business; he
would advertise this business for sale In
200 newspapers In various parts OF the
country. and the agent would pocket the
lions share of the commission which the
merchant paid when his business was sold.
AS guarantee of good faith Mr.. Walker
demanded SIS from the prospective solicitor.
Many young men are said to have been
duped by him in this way, but quit the
