His Actions.

A, Il. Hubbard of the Hubbard Pub
Lefty company. with Offices in the Her
aid building, is loser by 800 on ac-
count Of the riotous living of b. T.. ;.
Lane. at one time a partner of the
business, who was arrested at
Pueblo, brought back to Salt Lake
and now is in Jail here Lane was
found in Pueblo in company with a
young woman of Salt Lake having sent
his wife to her home III Illinois.
In speaking of how Lane worked
him, Hubbard said that he could hardly
understand it himself. According to
Mr., Hubbard, Lane came to Salt Lake
il year ago, and on account of his APP
in the Hubbard Publicity agency and
was to receive 45 per cent of the net
earnings of the company. His wife
accompanied him to Salt Lake and the
couple lived in simple style. However,
Lane constantly drew money from the
business, and at the time he left here
Il month ago had drawn out 5000 more
than Hubbard,
Was Man With Friends.
"Lane had many friends here in the
city says Hubbard. "He could have
secured loans from any of them. In
stead, however, he issued checks on his
bank account and now several of his
late friends are holding the scraps of
paper, and that IS all. | do not know
how much this will amount to. His
worst deal to me was in collecting our
accounts without turning them in at the
office. Again he traded around among
our customers and bad the bills charged
to the office. Some of the money | had
TO pay was for buggies he hired to en-
JOY himself in company with a young
woman. He turned in orders for en-
craving work for customers he had
never seen, causing me expense. In
order to fool me into thinking he was
making good he turned in supposed
advertising campaign contract that cost
me 500 to start. When | went to the
firm to begin work they had not heard
of Lane, much less given him con-
tract.
ttLane wrote to me from Pueblo ad
mjtting that he had given me an un-
fair deal. The day he left he started
to Vernal to conduct n sale we had on
there and of course kept going. ! re-
ceived "A telegram from Grand Junction
asking if L. L. s. Lane of my company
was good for d loan.
81 shall not prosecute Lane. He
mas troubles enough Wltnout my push
ing the complaint. j will go ahead and
take care of what he has done as fast
as L can and let it go.
Placed Blame on Wife.
"Lane put up hard luck story to
me about his wife s extravaganza as an
excuse for his heavy drawing on the
firm. | have since learned that she
had the bare necessities Of life. They
didn't have curtains at the windows,
and I am told she couldn It make calls
or receive company because of the
lack of clothing.
Lane in County Jail.
Lane was brought back from Pueblo
ten days ago, returning without the
formallty of extradition papers TO meet
the charges against him here. He was
registered at n Pueblo hotel with a
young woman of Salt Lake, and it was
through the efforts Of the girl IS father
his arrest was caused. The day after
Lane was locked up here complaint
charging adultery was issued out of the
district attorneys Office. He is still
in custody, awaiting trial on that
charge. having waived his preliminary
hearing and failed. to give the re-
