lGlobe SilNer ReIt.l

O. Starke tailor disposed of hss business on West Push street Satur- day and under cover of night drove Co Rice, where he caught a Valley train Sunday morning and is now per haps repOsing at ease aJ some point in Old Mexico, while a gOodly string of Globe creditors are mourning their respective losses and incidentally wondering whether the arm of the law is long enough to reach out and bring the cratic tailor back to Globe
 The extent of Starks's shortage is not known, but 1t is believed that il will reach Sl 800, the principal cred stors, however. being eastern woolen houses. whe recently shipped the U1tlOr about $500 worth ds piece goods. which. it is alleged, were nev CT opened in this city, but forwarded to another point. M. O. Decker. who claims to have purchased the Starke business on Push street, states that he did not know that. Starke intended l leaving the city at once, but had been | informed by the tailor that he would visit his family in Colorado shortly after the territorial fair
 The ending of Starke's Globe ca reer was hastened by the members | of the City band. For some time the | tailor has OffiC.ated as treasurer of | the organization. Last Wednesday 1 bills amounting to S95 were ordered paid by the band. It was discovered on Saturday ttat the money had been drawn for the payment of these 1 bills. but the claims had not been satisfied. Starke was called to ac- count and was given a few hours time in which to raise the money. i He promised to do it He visited a local jewelry store where he had re. gently purchased a diamond ring on the installment plan. He explain ed to the jeweler that he Iwanted a larger diamond and that if allowed the amount he had paid on the small stone he would give a check for the difference, which amounted to a snug little sum. The deal was mada and Ehe large diamond turned over to Starke, who took it to the Old Do minion Commercial company, where he placed it as security for a IOaT of S1OO, with which he settled w;tt the band, The check drawn on the Gila Valley bank was returned mark ed insufficient funds"
 The tailor disappeared late Satur day night. He secured a rig at tht
 Kelsey stable and hired man whose name IS unknown, to drive him to Rice, where he took the trair Sunday morning for the south.
 Monday ,when his flig1tt became public the members of the band dis covered that Starke had withdraw from the bank all the funds remain ing to the credit of the organization amounting to about S74. Later cred itors sprang up all over the city ant late last night it was stated tha Starke owed a number of eastern houses about $900 for fall and winte, goods, which had been shipped tc Globe and then rebilled by the tailo to some point unknown.
 On August last Mrs. Starke anc her children left the city ostensibI, to visit relatives in Colorado. B, some of the officers it is believed i that Starke has gone to that state From reliable sources the Silver Bel learns that Mrs. Starke has beer seen in Fl Paso recently and it f thought by some that she has beer living there. Starke undoubtedl, went direct to Fl Paso. where h, picked his family up and then cross ed the line into Old Mex:9o, wher, his fall and winter 3tock pyscadeC him and -Rhera- he will -aaain-anRagl in business.
 Starke came Q Globe from CnIca go little over q year go and opentt what was known as the CLicsE Cleaning. Dyeing < Tailoring estat iishment He placed a number O wagons on the stree. and for a hrie season made quite q splurge. Th, wagons were sold af.e- few month and he has since been pushing tir tailoring business 10 the exclusion c the clening and dyeing department 1 He was a fine clariOls55e player snr for this reason was considered 2 1a
 uable man by the band. When re moved from the trea surership on Sat urday last Starile promised to re main here and accompany the ban
 to the territorial fair, and for thi reason he was not forced to turn owe the balance of the bands funds Wal rants are out for his arrest, but i is doubtful if the dfficers succeet in landing him. A piano owned b
 Starke and said to be in the posse. sion of lady with whom he has bee
 intimate since the departure of Iii family, IS apprently the only asse left by the tailor over which hi creditors may quarrel. and the lad
 in question may hold 8 bill of sal C.
