BRING SUIT ON BOND
School Board Wants TO Recover
$1,000 From Bondsmen
Of Late Treasurer

Suit for recovery Of $1,000 Of the
missing funds Of school district No.
50, Cimarron township, Logan coun-
ty, was started in district court this
morning. The defendants are G.. A.
Windsor, Of Guthrie. and r. A. Jones,
OF lconium, sureties for Andrew
Moore, late treasurer OF the school
district.
Moore was formerly jaller at the
Logan county Jail, He was consid-
cred reliable and efficient, but whis-
key and fast company broke him
down. He was treasurer OF the
school district for nearly zine years.
Il was not until early this year that
the school board, suspected him.
when It was discovered that a war
rant held by contracting company
tor the school building was unpaid
the board made an examination. IL
was figured that the shortage was
nearly 81 200. The district last year
raised over $1,000 for school pur-
poses. The school fund has been pref
ty well wiped out but the board has
managed to keep the school running.
The late treasurer and the clerk OF
the board and some OF tho other
members are colored.
Moore has been missing for over
mohth Mhat he did with the
money no one seems to know. The
sheriffs theory is that Il was spent
in riotous living. Moore's farm IN
Cimarron township has been aban-
doned. The sheriff Is searching for
his former taller. but not with the
purpose Of putting him in his old
job

Will Stay in Jail.

Chicago Dec. 23.-Leigh Rhodus,
known as the candy kid who when
arrested in East st. Louis for burglary
a month ago. confessed to two murders

indeterminate terms of Imprisonment,
each from one year to life. This was to
forestall possible applications for parole

all the candy she wanted. He killed in
this city DIR. William S. Michaelis. a den-
tist. and Anton Heigib. a contractor

Gustav Cajiao, nineteen years old,
brother OF the Secretary of the Interior
of the United States of Colombia, Central
America, and recently a student at Holy

found dead in his room at the Hotel
Caracas yesterday afternoon.
Young Cajiao, said to be the son of a

North last fall to enter Holy Cross. The
severity of the climate undermined his
health and he determined to go home.
The young man was last seen on
Thursday night. AS he did not appear
yesterday, the manager of the hotel went
upstairs to look for him. He smelled
gas coming from the room and broke in
the door. The young Colombian was
dead.

that death was accidental and gave a
permit for the removal of the body.
