sTALLARD NOT UNDER ARREsr
The Sedan Cashier Allowed to Go
Where He Pieases.

Sedan. Kan. Dec. 2S.-Otto D. STALL
ard. defaulting cashier of the Peoples
National bank Of Sedan, has admitted
to the officers of the bank that his
shortage amounted to $zz, 533. 50. He de-
clares that he did not get the money
and that he does not know who did.
Stallard was out horseback riding yes
terday and greeted many of his friends
as he rode through the town.
He went to the bank about 10 O'Clock
and was warmly greeted by the new
cashier, D. K Moore. Later he went
into the directors room and remained
there in consultation with the officers
and the bank examiner, Mr.. Bradley,
until noon.
No information has been fled against
him and he is at liberty. Just what
course will be pursued in the future Is
not known, though it is believed by
many that the comptroller of the cur
rency will take the matter up and push
the prosecution. The story current to
the effect that he has been promised
immunity is denied by all interested
parties, and Stallard says that he is
ready to suffer any penalty that may
be inflicted upon him.

WHEN YOU START DON'T STOP.
Fred Clarke of the Pirates Gives Some
Good Advice.

Good Advice.
Outfelder Clymer, of the Pittsburg
club, broke a small bone in one of his
legs while sliding to a base last season
and was out of the game for the re-
mainder.
In commenting upon the injury
Manager Fred Clarke said the acct
dent was due to Clymer's spikes being
too long. "Clymer made the mistake
of starting to slide and then checking
himself, which. no player ever ought to
DO" said Clarke.
when a man starts to slide he must
go on through it or he is liable to trip
and turn his ankle. When 1 was with
the Louisville team we went over to
Paducah for an exhibition game one
day. There were several -cripples on
the. team and didn't want any more
so on the way over 1 told the boys
would fine any of them who attempted
to slide during the game.
"TheY obeyed orders all right and
there was no sliding until the last in
ning, when I was on second and at
tempted to score a hit. When I got
near the plate saw the play was go
ing to be close, so I started to go to
the ground
Suddenly I rem en- bered my injunc-
ton to the players, and not wishing to
break my own rule, checked myself
My spikes caught and my ankle
turned so that I was out of the game
for some time. Players should always
go clear through with a slide when
they start it. And spikes should not
be worn too long. "-Cincinnat Com

ping Denver and Pueblo.
At the depot last evening Mr.. Te-
beau said:
Il am in favor of drafting the towns
we want in the Western association.
Shively claims they can not be draft
ed but 1 can not see it his way. At
least I am in favor of making a ten
der of the draft money and I think we
can secure the towns all right In
regard to trading Kansas City for To-
peka I would not think of such
thing I would not do business with
Shively under any, consideration, and
besides the board Of directors of the
American association would never
stand for such trade. 1 could not
trade oft American association terri
tory without their consent.
I'm regard to the local situation I
have very little to say until after the
first of the year. am in hopes of
securing Burke again for next year
and he believes he will be able to get
back I will see Connie Mack shortly
after New Years and I can tell more
about 1t then. have several new
men in view that I am waiting to get
waivers on. / will not give their
names for publication until the waiv-
ers are secured"
