A TANGLED CASE.
Garland Man Is Under Arrest
at Fort Scott.
Charged With Failing to Re-
turn Money He Had Collected.
HAD HORSES TO SELL.
Several Killed i'm a Wreck and
Railroad Paid Damages.
Owners Of Animals Claim They
Are Short the Money.

Fort Scott, Kan. July ia warrant
Meacham of Garland on a charge of
having embezzIed S292.50 from the Err
win Piper horse market in this city.
and Deputy Sheriff Geo. Cowan went
down to Garland to serve it. On arriv-
ing there he learned that Meacham had
come to this city to surrender to the
officers.
The story of the Gaze is peculiar in
many respects, Mr.. Meacham claiming
that it was simply an unsettled account
between him and the horse market men.
He was employed by them some months
ago to take a car load of horses to the
southern market and dispose of them.
The train on which they were shipped
south and some of the stock was injured.
The remainder of it was disposed of
by Mr.. Meacham.
After arriving home he was advised
by Messrs. Erwin and Piper of the
horse market to make e a settlement
with the Frisco for the damage done
to the horses in the wreck. and he did
1t. receiving the $292.5 he is charged
with embezzling. He retained this
money for his own use, it is said and
failed to make a proper settlement with
the owners of the stock
The claim set up by Meacham is that
1t was the agreement that he was to
receive all over a certain amount re-
ceived for the stock and that after the
accident they did not bring that amount.
While in the city yesterday he employ
ed Attorneys Griffith and Humphrey to
defend him.

Antwerp. Miss Hertslet had the I'M
usual opportunity. for a Kansas girl
of meeting the most exclusive and bril-
liant representatives of European So

Lord Cecil. He was ambitious to sue
coed on his own account, and the life

Corning Kan. He selected Corning
because an English family named Min
ter form erly of Rich mOnd. lived there.
Clement Hertslet bought half section
of land; farmed it and farmed it well
and made money. He married a Miss
Church, whose father owned the farm
adjoining the Hertslet farm three
miles northeast of Corning. Miss
Georgina Hertslet is their child.
Clement Hertslet died about eight
years ago. Upon his death Mrs. Herts-
let rented her farms and moved to
Corning, where she opened a photo
graph studio. Miss Hertslet is an ac-
complished pianist. She has been
studying music in her year abroad un-
der the best masters London affords.
