Secretary Coburn's recollections of his
own move and the good fortune it
brought and Of the move of his old
employer to Kansas are full of patnos.
Il went to work for Mr.. Walsh in his
Dearborn street book store right aft :
Even at that early day Mr.. Walsh wa S
a very busy man and showed plainly
his wonderful ability as a business
man of big cahbre. But he had timc

When 1 came to him one day and

no friends and I viii never forget it.
After a half century had passed
since 1 had left Chicago to come to
Kansas Mr.. Walsh, in his turn, left
Chicago to come to Kansas. It was
very sad. I only remembered him as
my friend who was good to me in my
days of adversely and obsCurity. I Wis
tied him in prison and I named him as
my friend before a banquet audience n

COBURN AND WALSH.
Kansan Remembers Late Banker as
Friend of His Childhood.

It is well known that Secretary F.
D. Coburn, of the state board of agri-
culture, was a good friend of the late
J. r. Walsh. the Chicago financier. The
secretary visited the banker while the
latter was in the federal prison at
Leavenworth serving term for misuse
Of the funds of one of his banks. The
secretary was active in trying to get
a pardon for his old friend. On the
occasion wnen the secretary addressed
distinguished gathering at a banquet
in Chicago last winter he took occa 7
sion to refer to Mr.. Walsh, who was
then in prison, as one Of the best
friends he had ever had. But it is not
so generally known that Secretary Co
burn used to work for Mr.. Walsh. In
fact the first job Mr.. Ccburn secure
after the war was in the book firm
owned and operated at that time by Mr.
Walsh
Secretary Coburn left the Walsh book
store to come to Kansas in the early
sixties III spite of his employers effort
to keep him. Walsh thought Cobu II
was making a bad move when he left a
promising position in Chicago to work
on Kansas farm.

cier. both to Kansas, is pathetic and Il
