a good right arm for the cause he
knew to be right and just. The Cap

PROMINENT MAN INDICTED.
w. G. Clark Of centerville Under
Serious CHARGES.


Centerville.-The Appanoose coun-
ty grand jury has returned four IN
dictments against one of its most
prominent business men, w. G. Clark
Of the Clark & Peatman Investment
company, charging him with obtain
ing money under false pretenses, OBJ
tanning property under false pre-
lenses, and securing signatures to
written instruments under false pre-
lenses.
The indictments created sensa-
ton when they were announced, both
because of the prominence of Clark
and his partner, w. M. Peatman, and
because of the long series OF alleged
frauds that were disclosed by the evil
dence taken in the grand jury room.
Peatman is not now resident of Cen
terville, having gone to Oregon about
year ago.
Clark's alleged frauds were con-
Quoted through misrepresentation as
to the amount of incumbrance OF
property on which loans were Sc
cured and the falsifications of abb
stracts and other evidences OF the
official records. One instance fur
nishes an index of the character OF
numerous alleged cases of fraud.
Clark secured some time ago loan
of $500 from the school fund on prop
erty which he said was not incum-
bered Clark presented abstracts and
other documents to support his repre-
sensations, but now it is disclosed
that WHOM the loan was made the
specific property was part of larger
parcel of ground that was incumbered
with $1,000 i'll mortgages.
1t is believed hero that operations
of this character extended over a
long period of time and their amount
is believed to aggregate large sum
1t is now known that the liabilities
of the company are in the neighbor
hood OF sl50,00o, while the assets are
| uncertain.
Whether or not Peatnan, the alb
sent member OF the company, was
concerned in the transactions was
not disclosed by the authorities.
