LOUISVILLE REPORTER
 GOT THINGS MIXED
MAKES AN EMBEZzLER OUT OF
 SHERIFF HAYDEN.
In Another Case Governor Sloan Is Put
 in False Light.

The following clipping from the Louisville, Ky. Times was brought to the office of the sheriff yesterday. Sheriff Hayden read it twice. pinched himself, and handed the clipping to Under Sheriff Wood and asked him to read it aloud and read it slow:
 Upon information furnished by Dis trict Detectives Fred Bott and Michael King of the local department, Carl Hayden, wanted at Phoenix, Ariz, on a charge of embezzling $500. has been arrested by Glasgow, Ky. officials. An officer from Phoenix is enroute to Glasgow to obtain custody Of the pris- oner, who also is wanted on a charge of embezzlement at Fresno, Cal.
 April l Chief of Police II. Watson Lindsey received a telegram from John C. Meadow. Sheriff at Phoenix, Ariz. asking the Louisville police to be on the alert for Hayden. He assigned De tectives Bott and King to the case. The officers learned that Hayden spent several days at the home of 4. D. Dafis, 513 Merritt avenue. Tracing his movements they located him at Glas- gow, caused his arrest there and nOti- fled the Phoenix authorities of his ap- prehensiOn."
 After things had quieted down some what in the sheriff's office and reason had resumed her sway, there was concensus of opinion that Louisville reporter had got things mixed, and had shuffled the sheriff and John C. Mea- dows about most unwarrantablv.
 The facts of the case follow: Mea- dows a couple of months ago claimed to have settled down west of the city to grow up with the country. He was going to do some teaming and he rent ed a team of horses and a span of mules from Carlos EpsinOsa, who lives northwest of the city.
 Some days later. Espinosa saw the mules at Jacobs corral at Five Points and asked the proprietor about them Jacobs replied that he had bought them of a man named Meadows. Espinosa being unable to find Meadows swore out a warrant for his arrest on a charge of embezzlement. The horses had not yet been located.
 These facts were printed by The Re publican at the time and for days thereafter there was not the slightest hint as to the direction taken by Meadows when he fled from the city.
 But one day a resident of Phoenix received a letter from a Mrs. A. B. Davis of Louisville, Ky searcher after light. She had beautiful and accomplished daughter to whom a gen tleman from the far west was paying court and asked for her hand. He had represented himself to be a person of great wealth. He was the owner of a productive gold mine on the outskirts of Phoenix, and, beside, had money in the bank
 Mrs. Davis was inclined to accept these statements, but she wanted to be sure She believed that the person to whom she addressed the letter as well as everybody else in Phoenix must know about person of so much wealth.
 The recipient of the letter had heard of Meadows and the letter was turned over to the sheriff, who thereupon re- quested the chief of police of Louis vile to take Meadows into custody.
 By this time a warrant from Fresno 1ti-, TOT lilE dIEtSl Ol MtduoNS LdO reached the chief of police, and when he received the request of sheriff Hay den he had just received word from Glasgow, Ky, that Meadows had been taken into custody there on the Fresno charge.
 All these facts were spread out in the office of the chief of police and the Louisville reporter was unmuzzled and let into them with the foregoing result
 But Sheriff Hayden is not the only eminent citizen who of late has been put into a false light. Gov. Sloan is an even worse sufferer for he stands in the records of the office of the secretary of state of oregon as an abandoned criminal. It will be remembered that Governor Sloan issued a warrant for inc arrest of F. H. Lasher, who had fled to Portland and with whom Deputy Sheriff Woolf had so much fun and eX- ercise on his way back with him.
 While Lasher was being detained by the Portland authorities expenses on his account were running up until they had mounted to the sum of 8.
 Before leaving. the deputy sheriff paid the bill and directed that a re- ceipted bill be forwarded to the office of the sheriff here in due form.
 IL has come. After several prelim- mary and formal statements it pro- ceeds in this wise: Received from W. H WoOlf. agent of Arizona, the sum of s3 which has been applied as follows: Warrant of arrest for Richard E. Sloan, a fugitive from justice. s3." Lasher was lost sight of by clerk of the sec retary's office as completely as Deputy Sheriff Woolf lost sight of him a couple of days later.
